Christoph Seifriedsberger Obituary, Former Cal Men’s Rower

Christoph Seifriedsbergern passed away Monday, January 8, 2023.

Christoph’s death was announced by Cal Crew on his Facebook post

The Cal Crew family mourns the tragic and sudden loss of Christoph Seifriedsberger, class of 2022, who on January 6th passed away while on a training trip in Italy with his Austria National Team teammates.

Christoph came to Berkeley in the fall of 2016 and had an immediate impact on the Cal team. In addition to being a remarkably hardworking oarsman and fierce competitor, Christoph was warm, immeasurably kind, and served as a selfless leader for all oarsmen with whom he shared a connection.

When Christoph was not at the boathouse, he could frequently be found either mentoring teammates in the athlete study center, spending time in the Canyon House kitchen, or sharing conversation in the International House dining hall.

Those who knew Christoph remark on the sense of peace that would accompany their interactions with him and will remember him for his love of conversation and eagerness to listen. During his time with the Austria National Team, Christoph served as a stalwart advocate for mental health awareness on the World Rowing circuit and spoke about the subject on multiple platforms.

Christoph will be deeply missed by all Cal Crew family members with whom he shared time. We ask that privacy of the Seifriedsberger family be respected at this time and that they be allowed to mourn in peace.

Current Cal Crew student-athletes have been reminded of the health and counseling resources available to them on campus.

After news many of Cal friend shared their condolences online.
