Abraham Shreiner Obituary

June 10, 1951 - April 11, 2020 Abraham Lincoln Shreiner Jr was born to Abraham and Harriet (Groff) Shreiner on June 10, 1951, in Lancaster, PA. After graduating from Edgewood High School in West Covina, CA, he attended Mt. San Antonio College and joined the United States Navy in 1971, serving for 6 years. After his service he took a position in Aerospace, working on satellite recorders for the Space Shuttle. He attended Cal State Fullerton receiving a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering. After 2 decades in Aerospace he moved on to commercial truck driving and worked as a natural Santa Claus in shopping malls in California and New York. He enjoyed helping others, DIY projects at home, camping, fishing, fellowship at Calvary Chapel Moreno Valley, reading and taking thoughtful walks through the neighborhood with his picker to clean up litter. He will be remembered as a smart, funny, kind and considerate man whose main goal was to spread love and kindness to all he encountered. He passed away peacefully from Alzheimer's disease in Hurricane, UT. He leaves behind his devoted wife of 48 years, Rebecca Shreiner and was survived by his children, Matthew Shreiner and Cara Shreiner as well as two sisters Linda White and Kimberly Shreiner. He was preceded in death by his parents Abraham and Harriet Shreiner along with his sister Sharon Tanner. He will be greatly missed by a host of family from California, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Pennsylvania; his Calvary Chapel Moreno Valley family; his gaggle of "second children"; and countless friends. A celebration of his life will be held at a later, currently undecided date at Calvary Chapel Moreno Valley, and Interment at Riverside National Cemetery will also occur on a future, undecided date.

I met Abe through his son, Matt, who was in my Boy Scout Troop. He was a good man, who taught me a great many things. Probably the most important thing he taught me was patience and kindness. This planet will be a lesser place without him in it, this I am certain of. I found this looking for his son, just to reach out and say hello, and now my heart is heavy. My heart goes out to huis family, as I am all too familiar with the very ugly disease that took him far too early.

My name is Alex Canavan at [email protected]. I had went to high school with Abe. He was one of 6 best friends. In high school we were all inseparable. We kept in touch after high but we were separated by military etc. he and I hooked up and we went on a grand vacation with Mark on of our best friends and his family and sister.

Abe was a great friend and easy to talk to and shared his love with everyone. We lost track of him and his family after his dad died. There are 3 friend left I am one we have been looking for him. We are deeply saddened at the loss and not hooking up. Go in peace my dear friend you were loved and will be missed.
