Stuart Wynn Schneider, 65, Weston, Missouri, passed away Monday, June 30, 2025.
He was born November 8, 1959 in St. Joseph to Richard and Beatrice (Kenyon) Schneider. Stuart grew up in St. Joseph and graduated from Benton High School, where he earned a varsity letter in running. He then attended the University of Missouri-Columbia.
After leaving MU, he worked on a farm for awhile then began a long career as an over-the-road truck driver, first for Keim and then in recent years at Old Dominion.
Stuart cherished time working on his 40-acre farm near Weston, Missouri, 20 acres of which were in the Missouri Conservation Department Wildlife Management Program, where he also got to be with his beloved dogs, Walter, Jacob and Shiloh.
When not at the farm, Stuart loved to go to auctions, scoping out and bringing home any cast-iron skillets and Red Wing pottery he could find, among many other unique treasures.
Stuart leaves a legacy as a loving dad and grandpa who loved time with family and friends. He had a special bond with his daughter and kindred spirit Abigail, who lovingly took care of him since his diagnosis and the final nine months in her home in Kansas City. The family is grateful to her for easing their father’s passage.
He was preceded in death by his father, Richard Schneider; and sister, Rissa Kay Glick.
Survivors include his mother, Beatrice Schneider; children, Amanda Klindt (Dustin), Hillary Davies (Chris), Abigail Ervie (Jeremy), and Courtney Schneider; grandchildren, Aleydis, Emsley, Oaklan, Icelyn, Elijah, Austin, Brooks, Avery, and Oliver; brother, Richard Schneider (Sharon); numerous nieces, nephews, other extended family and friends.
