Bradley Schaller Obituary
Loved country music, playing drums, hot weather, Camp Quality, his family and friends, and "the love of his life", Melissa. A 2000 graduate of Perry High School, he attended Stark State University and was an Insurance Claims Specialist for Weather Guard Exteriors. But injuries from an automobile accident cut his life short and he left us on Saturday, May 7, 2011. No words can ever express how much Brad is loved by all of us and how much we will feel his absence in our hearts forever. And as an organ donor, Brad will continue to live on in others.
Brad will be dearly missed by his mother, Fran Schaller and her fiancé, Joseph Nemeth; brother, Jeremy Schaller of Canton; identical twin brother, Brian Michael Schaller of Akron; grandmothers, Cathy Johanning of North Canton and Donna Schaller of Canton and girlfriend, Melissa Williams of Michigan. Brad is also survived by his father, Bruce Schaller of Massillon. Preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, Richard "Jack"Johanning.
Family and friends will meet for a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Michael's Catholic Church with Father Donald King as Celebrant. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Family and friends may call on Friday (TONIGHT) from 5-8 p.m. at the Lamiell Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Camp Quality Ohio, 4450 Rex Lake Drive, Akron, OH 44219 or the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, 1320 Mercy Drive NW, Canton OH 44219.

To my friend Brad.
The wind out of my sail, My flag at half mast
The pain is so deep, How long will it last
The emotion wells up, As the tears start to fall
A weight so heavy, I only can crawl
Then from deep within me, A flash to my mind
The thoughts come rushing, Of all our good times
Times we laughed like crazy, And the silly things we’d do
Or just sit and talk , Of a girl or two
You were quite the great friend Brad, This I must say
I can’t wait for one thing, I can’t wait for the day
When I see you again, To hear from your voice
Any of your many greetings, Pick one, your choice
You were one of a kind Brad, Although, one of two
Last thing that I’ll say, Man, I’ll miss you.

May God give you strength , and hold you in his arms as only He can do . Know that Brad will be with you always , in your hearts . Never let his kindness and his laughter fade .

Brad ~ It seems like just yesterday we were on the playground at Whipple, running around & having fun, without a care in the world. Though we didn't keep in touch after high school, I fondly remember your smile & laugh, and your uncanny ability to make others laugh - I think there is no greater gift. Brian & family, you are all in my prayers; I know Brad is up there now making the angels laugh.

I remember going with Brad and a bunch of friends to Cedar Point about 5 years ago. We all rode the Top Thrill Dragster as the last ride of the day. It was such an amazing adrenaline rush that in the 5-10 minutes after we got off the ride, we kept looking at each other and yelling “YEAH!” at the top of our lungs as we walked out of the park. Then, later that same summer, we made another trip up to Cedar Point. However, the weather didn’t cooperate and it was pouring down rain as we arrived in Sandusky. So we went out to eat lunch there and went home. So we basically drove 4 hours that day to eat at the local Sandusky Pizza Hut. Fun times.
