Brian Schwarze Obituary
Today God called our Father, Brother, Uncle, and Friend to Heaven. Brian Jon Schwarze, age 57, of Lake Worth, Florida (originally from Waupun) died on Sunday, September 10, 2017 at the JFK Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He was born November 17, 1959 in Waupun, WI. He graduated from Waupun High School in 1978. During his lifetime he was employed at Vans Electric in Florida, worked as a mechanic and restoring cars in Wisconsin, Boldt Electric in Beaver Dam as an employee and owner, Panel Electric in Florida, along with several other part-time jobs to support his family. He enjoyed life and loved his music. He played in several bands, loved pottery and painting, and being with family. He believed in working hard and loving everyone.
Brian leaves behind three children to cherish his memory: Jon Brian Schwarze (Jade) of Menasha, WI, Candice Somalia Knighton-Black of New York City, New York, and Sadie Lynn Larkee of Oshkosh, WI; five sisters: Karen Baasch (Wayne Stobb) of Waupun, Cheryl (Pete) Brodzeller of Beaver Dam, Mary (Dennis) Mittelstaedt of Waupun, Donna (Clyde) Maxwell of Waupun, Wayne (Gloria) Schwarze of Kaukauna, WI, Roy (Suzie) Schwarze of Alexandria, MN, and Christina (Robert) Beske of Adams, WI; and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
Brian was preceded in death by his step-father, Carl Neuman in 2014 and his mother Evelyn (Schwarze) Neuman in 2016; two brother-in-laws: Sherman Lackey and Gary Baasch; and a great-niece, Taylor Lackey.
God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. -Author Unknown.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
