Dieter Schwab Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 14, 2024.
Dieter A. Schwab, aged 86, passed away on July 9, 2024, in Kirkland, WA. Born on May 29, 1938, in Berlin, Germany, Dieter was a devoted husband to Linell Schwab for 57 years and a loving father to Gerald E. Schwab and Erika M. (Schwab) Engel. He also cherished his role as a father-in-law to Tracy L. Stewart-Schwab and David D. Engel, and was a generous grandfather to Taylor E. Stewart, Anisa A. Engel, Shayla K. Engel, and Alan D. Engel.

Dieter grew up as a Catholic altar boy in Germany and later embraced his faith as an adult by getting baptized with his Christian community. He retired from a fulfilling career at Hewlett-Packard, where he made lasting friendships with colleagues and neighbors. Known for his outgoing spirit, Dieter was loved and respected by many.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Dieter may be made to Alzheimer's & Dementia Research at [https://www.alz.org/research](https://www.alz.org/research). Dieter's kindness and warmth touched many lives, and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Thom and Linda Cook bought our brand new home in Kirkland, Wa in 1977 at the same time with the Schwabs and Kjosness. We all became close friends and neighbors. They stayed in the neighborhood but we moved on. He will be missed by his family.

I remember how fast he always used to drive. Always felt like he was in a hurry when going somewhere or that he was in a race with the other drivers. He really liked it when I took him for a fast ride in the Supra.

I really appreciated that he always made me feel that Erika made a great choice in marrying me. I remember taking him out to lunch to ask to marry Erika and being nervous. He was really nice and made the experience pretty easy.

He will be very missed.
