Anthony J. Schober Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Reno, Nevada

Anthony J. Schober was inspired to enlist by the horror of the 2001 terrorist attacks. "At the age of 17 he came to me and said he wanted to join the Army," said his father, Ed Schober. "He was affected by the 9/11 incident. I asked whether he was sure about this and really wanted to do it. He said yes, so I signed the papers." Schober, 23, of Carson City, Nev., was killed May 12 in Taqa by automatic fire and explosives. He was assigned to Fort Drum and was on his third tour. He had been wounded on a previous tour, suffering a fractured jaw that had to be wired shut for about a month when he was blasted from a Humvee. Schober did not graduate before entering the service. "I think he was a little bored with school," said his grandmother, Arlene Schober. "He was very intelligent. We think he was going to make a career out of it, moving up to the rank of staff sergeant." He also is survived by his mother, Roberta Schober. "I''m proud of my son before he went in and after he went in," said his father. "I''m proud of him but I''m also grieving for him."

I never was able to meet you but I know you were a great man. I know one day, I will be able to see your face and thank you for sacrificing your very life for mine and the life of my children. God bless your family, your mourning mother, and the family who never got to meet you.
