Adam John Schneider, 56, of Thayne Wyoming passed away peacefully in his home on September 2, 2025. Adam was born on January 21, 1969 in Edina Minnesota.

Adam was a Machinist Mate and served in the Gulf War. He was very devoted to our Country by serving with his fellow shipmates until he was honorably discharged. Adam then started his career in Kent, WA as a United States Postal Service member. He then moved to Wyoming to work as a postal clerk in Wilson/Jackson post offices and worked his way to becoming a United States Post Master in Afton. Adam medically retired in 2018 and spent his remaining years with family.

Adam was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many. He was a very happy go lucky man who loved fiercely and was there for anyone.
