To Celebrate the Life of Axel Redemann

December 24, 1962 to April 23, 2025

Axel Christian Redemann passed away on Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025, in San Francisco. He is survived by his devoted wife, Yunhee Yoo, and his loving son, Jack; his mother-in-law, Hea K. Yoo; his brother Frank, and Frank’s partner, Andrea; his nieces, Antonia and Sidd; nephews, Robert and Phillip, as well as countless friends he made through his many adventures. He is also survived by two of his loyal best friends, Ludger Roedder and Kip Bennett.

Axel lived every day to the fullest, with no regrets. Nothing was done halfway–his favorite motto was: “How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything.”

Axel was a devoted and protective husband, a loving and dedicated father, and a loyal and supportive friend and brother. He was a powerful presence in everyone’s lives. Whether he was plotting 500-mile gravel bike adventures, training for an Ironman, planning Jack’s education, or building a bike, Axel was a perfectionist and poured his heart and soul into everything he did.

Axel was born on Christmas Eve, 1962, in Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany. Even as a young boy, he knew that his town–and even Germany–was too small for his ambitions, and he set his sights on moving to America. That was his goal as a young man. His path led him to Chicago in the 1990s, where he met the love of his life, Yunhee, while working as a management consultant. He later found his own firm, advising German clients doing business in the U.S.

Axel married Yunhee in Big Sur on September 8th, 2001, and soon after, they moved to California. There, he began exploring and conquering the most spectacular roads and trails–on foot and on his bikes–-while forming countless friendships through swimming and other athletic pursuits. California, especially Marin County, was where his heart truly belonged.

Axel’s life will be celebrated on May 1st, 2025.
