Had to look up this obit as I saw your remembrance in the Edmond Sun (3/11/2014). A very impressive man. His light lives on.

To the family and friends of Ssgt Rex L. Schad, I extend my most sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. To Colleen (my sister-friend) I love you and you will always be FAMILY to me. Your road buddy, Gaynell

That was very nice article in the Daily Oklahoman today about SSG Schad & three other fine Oklahoma Soldiers who gave their life for our nation. I was an artillery officer myself during the Vietnam era but somehow was spared the awful experience of war. I have a tribute in wood that I do for the familes of fallen heroes. No cost to the family. Please contact me if you would like furhter information about Portrait Freedom. Best Wishes and God Bless you this Memorial Day.

You don't know me, but as a part of our church service today at Grace Episcopal Church in Liberty, MO, we each took a card with the name of a soldier who was killed in the war this year. We were asked to pray for the soldier, contact the family and honor the sacrifice.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Rex will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with...

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one Rex, and my sincerest gratitude for his service for our country.
God bless you Staff Sgt. Rex L. Schad...you will not be forgotten.

Everyone,

Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts, support, flowers and gifts during our family's dark days.
