Mark Schaut - Celebration of Life

Donation protected
Hello - I am Mark's son Ryan. Unfortunately, Mark has passed away Friday, the 24th. As most of you would know/expect, this came as a surprise to everybody as he was only 49. My sister and I are in the process of sorting everything out from the funeral to tieing up our dad's affairs.

The support from family and friends has been tremendously appreciated and helpful. We thank everyone for their kind words. Honestly, we are still perplexed with this whole situation, but we know that dad would have wanted us to celebrate his life rather than dwell on his death. Dad orignally wanted a Viking funeral, but he is going to have to compromise since it's not really appreciated to send a burning body onto the lake. We are going to have a funeral/service at Ryan Funeral Home in DePere at 305 N 10th St, De Pere, WI 54115 on Saturday, the 4th of March where friends and family can say goodbye during a viewing. We are going to have him cremated proceeding the service. We plan on honoring his "Viking Funeral" in another way - details to come.

Unfortunately, life doesn't take a break when one needs it the most. Megan and I would appreciate any support whether emotional, financial, or just being there. Dad seemed to have his ducks in a row, but even he expected to set a higher score than 49.

Mark/dad/friend/brother - however you knew him, we would like to know his stories. Since he's clocked out early, we haven't had the opportunity to get the really juicy, fun stories out of him. We have some, but we'd love to know more about our role model.

All financial support will be used to assist in closing this chapter. From the funeral expenses to other affairs, we will maximize the support provided.

Now, we want everyone to know dad was an organ donor. We respected his wishes and allowed/encouraged eligible organ donations to be donated to souls in a greater need.

Love you dad.
