Aaron Schmit Obituary
Aaron R. Schmit, Kaukauna, age 36, died unexpectedly on Friday, September 12, 2014 at St. Elizabeth Hospital. He was born in Appleton on March 26, 1978, son of the late Robert "Robbie" and Mary "Jan" (Voet) Schmit. Aaron worked installing flooring with his cousin Tracy. He enjoyed goose and duck hunting with Uncle Bass, Uncle Pork and Todd. He also enjoyed gardening and fishing on the Fox. Aaron had a special bond with his dad, Foster, Uncle Pork and also friends, Russ & Mary, Chris, Kurt, Todd, Tracy, his Godchild Bayleigh, his dog Maggie, and Emma, who he got to spend the summer with.
Aaron was one hell of a story teller where the punch line didn't matter because he would be laughing so hard, he couldn't finish the story. He always came up with crazy one liners. You never knew what was gonna come out of his mouth. Aaron had a heart of gold and was always there for his friends when needed.
He is survived by his mother, his sister, Abbi (Kevin) Fassbender, nieces, Emma and Ila and a nephew Kepler. He is further survived by aunts and uncles: Gale (Alice) Voet, Gene Kirley, Cher (Ken) McDaniel, Ev (Mark) Schneider, Wayne (Lisa) Voet, Randy Voet, Robert "Bass" (Fiona) Voet, Scott (Michele) Voet, Chris (special friend Diane Bloy) Voet, Linda Hurst (special friend Roy Hartjes), and Tom (Mary Kae) Schmit; numerous cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his dad, Robbie, grandparents: Howard and Ivyle Voet, Robert and Georgia Schmit; Aunt Dawn "Sis" Kirley, Uncle Ray "Pork" Voet, and Uncle Dick Schmit.
A Memorial Gathering for Aaron will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, 2014 at BOETTCHER FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 2401 Fieldcrest Dr., Kaukauna. In Lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established in Aaron's name. www.boettcherfamilyfuneral.com
It was the family's decision to donate Aaron's tissue and beautiful brown eyes. Their generous and caring donation will live on in many others.
Jan and Abbi would like to express their sincere gratitude to many family and friends who showed great care and concern; it made the journey a lot easier. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Uncle Wayne and Lisa who were always there and Sheila Van Rooy who always seems to get the "fun jobs"!
Mom wants to especially thank Abbi, who through her own suffering has helped me sooo much without you I couldn't have done it. I love you
Aaron, we will always love you. Thanks for everything you did for us. Love Mary and Bayleigh
With much love, Jan, Abbi and Kevin
Aaron we'll love and miss you forever.

I will always remember Aaron as a compassionate person who wore his heart on his sleeve.When he was younger he told me to always cut the plastic rings around the soda cans before tossing them because otherwise the squirrels got them caught around their necks. God Bless you Aaron...I am sure that you are in the blessed company of your Dad and uncle and Grandparents. My deepest sympathy Jan and Abbi..may your memories soften the sorrow in your hearts.
