David P. Schneider

As one of David's summer camp friends for many years, I was blessed at having the chance to see him after 20+ years and have him meet my family at our camp reunion 3 years ago. A group of us spent the first evening trying to search him down and as it wouldn't have been the same without him there as David was a big part of our summer family. It truly touched my heart getting to see him after all those years. I have never seen anyone that was so determined and have such a positive...

Dear loved ones, David's Camp Mountain Lake friends have just learned of his passing. Our hearts are heavy and sad. We have each been blessed to have shared in his life and to have known him. David was a truly special person all of his life, even when cancer did not seem like a possibility to any of us. His strength in his faith and in his fight against cancer is inspiring today and forever for those of us who knew him. David had certainly touched many lives during his. Please feel our...

Kathy, You and your family have touch my life in many ways eventhough I have only met you all briefly on several occasions.   My brothers ...Danny, Bruck, Bill and Bobby Tafel all have shared many experiences with you and David throughout the years and are devoted friends. I wanted you to know that my daughter Lee was committed to run the San Diego marathon last Sunday June 1 to honour of  my brother, Bill Tafel  but was so touched by David's courage that he too was an inspiration for her in...

Dear Schneider Family,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Should you need anything please contact us.

Cathy, Will and Gus,

We loved David so dearly. We claimed him as our own. He (and later, you!)was our wonderful, loving neighbor for 6 years on St. Germaine. He was a bright light on that street, to say the least. He always had a project going which was testament to him not wanting to sqander one moment of his life. He was artistic, athletic and fun loving. He had a deep faith and walked with such confidence in God and acceptance of God's will in his life. He helped us so much...

Cathy,

I was sadden by this news, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cathy,

I got the news this morning and am just devastated. I am truly belssed for having known him.

I could share literally hundreds of instances where David inspired me in some way - either through his words or his outlook on life. He will continue to do so for may years to come.

I was David's junior high school teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes School. He was one of my favorite students because he was kind, caring, and interesting. Clearly this great kid became a great man. This is a sad day indeed.

Cathy,

Marlene and I remember meeting you and the boys with David at The Fishery, and how David had such a positive attitude in spite of all he had been through. Lance Armstrong was certainly his Mentor. Our prayers and deepest sympathy are with you and your family.

As you know, I had known David for thirty years or more from working with his dad as his CPA when he owned Bitner's. David was always a kind, gentle person, who was always happy and whose presence made others...
