Richard Schuler Obituary

Owatonna - Richard (Rick) Schuler passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 14th after a two-year battle with cancer.

Richard was born on August 14th to Everett & Mae (Kubicek) Schuler. He is survived by his sister Nancy Wencl, nephews Damon(Jodi) Schuler and Travis Wencl, nieces Amanda (Travis) Daniels and Melissa (Adam Kelly) Wencl, four great nieces Alexis & Avery Schuler and Aerial & Harper Daniels, and one great nephew, Colt Kelly. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Linda Schuler.

The family would like to thank the Department of Infusion Therapy for the care and compassion they showed our loved one throughout his battle with cancer.

At his request there will be no funeral. Instead of memorials, please plant a tree or flowers in honor of Rick. A private celebration of life for friends and family will be held at a later date.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
