Obituary published on Legacy.com by Roach Funeral Home on Dec. 23, 2025.
William G. "Pee Wee" Schoolcraft, 76, of Duck, entered his heavenly home on Monday, December 22, 2025, at Morgantown Health Care Center.

He was born in Harrison, WV on March 27, 1949, to the late John and Lonie Boggs Schoolcraft.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Burton Schoolcraft, Bucky Schoolcraft and Harley Junior Bailey; sisters, Gladys Huckoby, Mary Ward, Josephine Nelisher, Alma Albaugh, Nancy Loving and Jean Marcum.

Pee Wee was a man of immeasurable character. He was defined by a huge ornery heart and an unwavering sense of humor. He was a man deeply respected and loved by all who knew him. With a hard work ethic, he provided for his family. He and his wife attended Peoples Community Church at Duck. Pee Wee was married 54 years to the love of his life, Roxie. He served as a school bus driver for the Clay County Board of Education where he retired after 31 years in 2011. He served several years in the United States Army and was stationed in Korea. In 1970, while in the Republic of Korea he mobilized and lead a rescue party operation for those trapped in a collapsed building in Inchon City. He was given a certificate for his bravery.

Left to cherish his memories are his wife, Roxie Schoolcraft; three sons, Gary Schoolcraft, Terry Schoolcraft (Misty) and Jerry Schoolcraft (Christy); grandchildren, Kenzy Amick, Tyler Summers, Danielle Hill, Hunter Nicholas, Nikki Schoolcraft, Mitchell Schoolcraft, Blake Parsons, Jeremy Goodwin, Destinee Morton, Ronee Nottingham, Jarrod Schoolcraft, and Zachery Henke. He is also survived by 13 great grandchildren; his brother, Freddie Schoolcraft (Janie); sisters, Mahalia Cantrell (Randy), Linda Lambey (Richard) and Emily Duncan; and several nieces and nephews.

Pee Wee's funeral will be 2 P.M. Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Peoples Community Church, 1702 Flat Fork Road, Duck with Pastor Kenneth Tanner officiating.

Burial with military rites will follow in the Chapman Cemetery, Duck.

His visitation will be two hours prior to the service at the church.
