Ocean City Area Mourns Passing Of Steve Falck; His ‘Grace And Humility’ During Illness Fondly Recalled

BERLIN - The local community lost a giant this week with the passing of Steve Falck, a surfer, coach, businessman, father, husband and perhaps, most importantly, a shining example of how to handle adversity with dignity, class and grace.

Falck, 64, died peacefully at Coastal Hospice at the Lake in Salisbury last Sunday after a lengthy battle with Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA), a rare neurological disease for which there is no cure or treatment. As if life hadn’t dealt Falck a tough hand already, he was also battling prostate cancer in the waning months of his life.

Despite the debilitating disease that curtailed many of his favorite activities, including surfing and everything to do on the water, Falck’s spirit remained strong and he remained active until the end and set a perfect example in the community he loved.
