Newton Opoku-Mensah, Duisburg—With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Newton Opoku-Mensah. Newton tragically lost his life on Tuesday evening following a swimming accident in a lake in Duisburg, later succumbing to the incident’s effects in the hospital.
Newton was a vibrant young man filled with life, energy, and passion. He lived his dream as an U17 player for Fortuna Düsseldorf, bringing joy to everyone who knew him. His untimely death has left his family and friends in deep shock and disbelief.
The Opoku-Mensah family is now facing the overwhelming burden of unexpected funeral expenses and other necessary costs. To help ease this financial strain, Osei Opoku has organized a fundraiser. The campaign aims to provide the family with the financial support they need during this difficult time, allowing them the space to grieve and focus on what truly matters.
As of now, the fundraiser has raised €2,350 out of its €45,000 goal, thanks to the generosity of 37 donors. Notable contributions include a recent donation of €25 by Peter Müller, a top donation of €500 by Lars Scharfenort, and the first donation of €30 by an anonymous donor. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a testament to the love and solidarity within the community.
The outpouring of support and prayers from friends, family, and supporters honors Newton’s memory and helps strengthen the bonds within the community during this challenging period. Newton’s legacy of joy and passion will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Newton Opoku-Mensah’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Opoku-Mensah family during this difficult time.
