Renaissance Eulogy We have gathered here today to remember the man that we all knew and loved very well, Martin Luther. He was born on November 20, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany. He was a great man. He was a Husband, Father, and he was dedicated to his work and his religion. He married his lovely wife Katharina Von Bora in 1525. I could always see the connection between them.

This sort of put his beliefs out there and set this reformation into motion. The church then decided to ex-communicate him. This did not stop him in any way. In the future a religion was created and named after him called Lutheran. He continued to break down boundaries and excel at everything that he did. If you did not know Martins cause of death was a stoke that the doctors could not bring him back from. His death was just a calling from God. He did everything that he was needed of here on earth and it was time for him to go home. He will be buried right in his hometown of Eisleben, Germany. We will all love and miss him and keep him in our hearts forever. His family will have the deepest struggle with moving on without him. For that I wish my deepest sympathies
