Jaime "Jim" Schneider

I´ve been thinking a lot about Mr. Schneider. He was the first adult to really believe in me and make an effort to develop my musical talent. I really wish he was still around to talk to about life and music now.

Our family remembers Mr. Schneider fondly. He gave two of my children a wonderful beginning in music and they carried that legacy into many areas of their life. His legacy lives on! Prayers for Heather continue.

Ten years ago--it's hard to believe and yet not. I'm grateful for the happy memories, and I'm even grateful for the now more uncommon moments when my heart is heavy. Regardless of the time that passes, our treasured relationships make an imprint on us.

Dear Joyce,
Thank you for this beautiful remembrance. He would have been so proud! :)
Heather

I continue to see the legacy that Jim left in two of my children, who were blessed to study music under Jim. I cannot tell you how many times we speak of him. I will always have a treasured memory of watching the pride on Jims face as he watched my son conduct the high school band just before graduation. He came to me afterwards, just beaming. He saw the fruit of his labor and the many years invested in teaching my son a love for music that continues to this day. We miss you so much, Jim. I sure wish you could have been here in person to see my son, your student, perform at Carnegie Hall. That truly was incredible!
God bless, until we meet again.

Julie, thank you for taking the time to reach out, but more importantly to remember Jim. Feel free to reach out at anytime. I've been teaching in Kenya the last few years. ([email protected])

I dont think I would have realized how long jim has been gone without this reminder and wanted to be sure to acknowledge his memory. I continue to try to understand why this happened and continue working through the sadness we still have knowing he left this world way too early. I pray that Jim and his family have found peace and value the fact that he continues to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Happy Birthday my dear beautiful son. I miss you and love you now and forever plus one day. - Mom

Today I found out about Jim's passing. He was a great friend to me in high school. I always appreciated his honesty, his music talents, and his willingness to have a good time. Thinking of you today "Sport". My thoughts and prayers are with your family

Just heard the news of Jim's passing. Even though he and I hadn't reconnected since me moving back to CO, he was one of my best and favorite friends in High School. A gentle soul. RIP my friend. Thoughts & Prayers are with his family and friends.

My heart aches. Remembering my beautiful son with love on his birthday.

Dear Mr. Schneider,

Thanks for being my best and favorite teacher I ever had. I wouldn't be half the musician I am if it weren't for you. I love you and miss seeing you around. Thanks for everything you taught me.

I just learned of Jim's passing. I am so glad to have been able to know you and share great times. Your legacy lives on in all of us.

Dear Heather,
I never got a chance to meet you. Jim and my husband and I had grown apart over the past few years. I was trying to contact him earlier this month when I was in Colorado springs and then just today found out about his death. We are both so sorry. Jim was a wonderful friend and I know he loved you very much.

R.I.P.

My daughter learned so much from Mr Schneider during her time at Timberview. He was an incredible teacher (patient and kind which was needed I'm sure at times). We are very sorry for your loss and keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Nancy, Mel, Desyree and Nicole Starr

I love and miss you so much, sweetheart.

Dear Heather,

You have my deepest sympathies and I pray that you'll feel God's comfort and love to help you through this valley of loss. I knew Jim while I was teaching music at Prairie Hills. He was a talented and kind colleague and will be greatly missed!

I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Schneider. he really helped me learn to play the flute. and he helped a lot of other people learn to play their instruments well. he will be greatly missed among us all. - Kelli Schymanski

Heather, We just found out about Jim's death and we are so sorry to hear about your loss. We will be praying. Ben grew so much in his band experience at Timberview, and also with you, and we are forever grateful for your husband's impact in his life.

Heather,

I am assuming you were Mr Schneiders wife. I was one of his first students and I can't begin to tell you how much of a mentor and a friend he was to me during those ackward teenage years. He was a great teacher and for those of us lucky enough to be in his leadership team he taught us about what it was to be a true leader. He will be dearly missed and I am so sorry about your loss!

Heather, we are sorry for your loss.

Dear Heather,
I'm so sorry. We are praying for you and thinking of you.

Lots of prayers are lifting you up from around the world.

Praying for you, Heather!!

Dear Heather,

I just read about Jim's passing. My dear friend my heart breaks for you. I will be praying for you and your family during this very difficult time. May GOD grant you the strength to carry on. I pray that you will also remember all of the fabulous memories together.

with love and sympathy

Heather, Marti and Dave,
I was stunned to see this on facebook and deeply saddened. How I pray for God's gracious presence to uphold you in your grief.
Love, Stephany and Howard

Heather, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I am praying God will comfort and hold you in these days.

Dear Heather,
Our hearts are broken - we are so sorry for Jim's passing. We loved him. Two of my children had the privilege of being Jim's students. They loved him dearly and even after graduating from Timberview Middle School and going to high school, they would go and help Jim over the Summer with the music program. My son looked at Jim as a dear friend and mentor and feels this loss greatly. Please know that Jim has left a great legacy of music in all the students who were blessed to be taught by him. It helps me to remember him and his legacy during this time of grieving.
May God be with you and comfort you at this time.

The Villeneuve Family

May the God of all comfort be close to you at this time of great sorry.

I had 4 band teachers through 3 years of middle school, and Mr. Schneider was the only one who made a difference in my life. He was by far the best teacher I had, and he inspired me to continue playing. Thanks Mr. S.

He told me I would make a great Frech Horn player. He was such a great teacher.I miss him so much. I'm praying for you guys. Love, Grace G. (former timberview Band student)

I am his "Peruvian cousin" Unfortunately I was not in Peru when he traveled to Lima, but all my family got to love him as soon as he met them ...May you rest in peace,

Even though its been years since I touched the clarinet I feel the need to pick it up and play it again. You were an outstanding musician and a fantastic teacher. Thank you for showing me an appreciation of music. My thoughts are with you and your wife in this hard time. Please keep your head up you both are fantastic teachers.

We were heartbroken to hear the news. Praying for you all.
