It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating loss of Teal Schmitz—an incredible husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, and human being. Teal was taken from us far too soon, leaving behind a wake of grief and disbelief for everyone who knew and loved him.

Teal was truly one of the best—kind, generous, funny, and full of life. He had so much more to give to the world and to those he cared about. His passing is not only an emotional loss but also brings significant financial challenges, especially for his loving wife, Amber.

We are raising funds to help cover Teal’s families funeral and memorial expenses, and to provide Amber with some much-needed support as she navigates this unimaginable loss. No one should have to carry the burden of grief and financial stress alone.

If you’re able to contribute, no matter how big or small, your support will mean the world. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts is more than enough.

Thank you for honoring Teal’s memory and helping during this incredibly difficult time.

If you’d rather give directly through Venmo https://venmo.com/u/cmjanke  (GoFundMe does take a transaction fee), we will be maintaining this as a goal site, updating as they come in.
