Jeffrey W. Schneider

 Jeff Schneider, 61, of Schofield, passed away on December 30, 2022, after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family. Jeff was born August 1, 1961 in Wausau, WI to Wayne and Joan Schneider. Jeff graduated from D.C Everest High School class of 1979. He was united in marriage to his soul mate, Robyn Schneider (Schneebeli), on April 25,1987 at Saint Stephen Lutheran Church in Wausau. He was a loving son to his parents Wayne and Joan. He was the proud father of their 3 children, Amanda , Michael, and Cody. He was a loving fur daddy to several dogs, with Bella being his favorite. We know he is catching up on all the pets with her in heaven.

Jeff graduated from North Central Technical Institute with an Associate Degree in Machine Tool Technics in 1981. He then went on to have a career as a CNC lathe and VMC operator. He worked at Schuette Metals for the past 22 years and was known for his incredible work ethic.

Jeff lived to support and help others. He was the first one to step in whenever family, friends, or strangers needed something. Jeff was well known for his Smoked Baked Beans, which were always requested for any celebration, holiday or large family gathering. Luckily, he shared the special recipe with his family so they will live on. Jeff was also known to step in to repair any item or solve any problem brought to his attention. He had an amazing ability to creatively solve any problem that may have come up or any repair that was needed. 

Jeff was also known as the rock of his family, always taking care of, encouraging, celebrating and goofing around with his kids and his wife. He proudly attended every event and celebration for each of his 3 children, cheering them on in his quietly gentle way. He loved every moment spent with his kids,wife and friends, from camping to back yard camp fires and travel adventures throughout the country. He loved easy snuggles, hearing and sharing stories of the day, making jokes and sharing some snarky remarks, in jest, now and then.

Jeff and his wife were true soulmates, if ever, there were some. Their love transcended time and place and they had a love many dream of having. They had 40 years of love, laughter and adventures together. They showed their children what true love meant, through the good times and the hard. Jeff will be happily waiting with Bella by his side when they are reunited in heaven. 

Jeff is survived by his wife Robyn, children Amanda (Sam) Schneider, Michael (Alex) Schneider and Cody as well as his beloved dogs Jade and Moose, and granddog Biscuit. He is further survived by his parents Wayne and Joan Schnieder and brother Gary Schneider and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He will be sadly missed by life long friends, Randy and Melody Brandt and Robyn's family including Steve (Robyn) Schneebeli, Jill (Kevin) Dunn, Chuck (Lanie) Schneebeli, Al (Sandy) Schneebeli.

Jeff was preceded in death by his grandparents Michael and Rose Rohacek, Henry and Laura Schneider. In addition he was preceded in death by his Uncle John and Aunt Rosemarie Novak.
