Condolences to everyone in the Schneider family at this sad and terrible time. What a stunning loss for you all. I never met Jimmy, but I've worked with his Aunt Cathy for many years and always heard the pride in her voice when she talked about Jimmy and his girls. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Went to elementary, middle & high school with your son. Unfortunately didn't know him that well but he seemed to love basketball & was a nice person. My prayers are with your families.

Jim and Kathy,
We wanted you to know how much Jimmy meant to our family. As parents we looked for mentors and positive influencers in our sons' lives as they were growing up. Jimmy was that person as a coach through KidSports and at Churchill. Taking the time to work with our sons was such a gift. He taught them the value of hard work, sticking with it and being accountable.
May the Holy Spirit bring you, his girls and family peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. May He bless you and keep you until you meet again in Heaven.
With our condolences and thanks for Jimmy's touch in our lives,
Gary & Kris Kronmiller

Jimmy: I can only hope this finds you in Heaven with our loving Creator. As the father of a son who played for you at Churchill, I can attest to how you inspired him with both a caring influence and confidence, characteristics he carries with him today. My son(s), wife and I are grateful for the too brief of a relationship we had together and we look forward to the day when we will all be reunited for eternity.
God Bless you for all the loving efforts you spent on your players, family and others.
Mike, Bonnie, Bryan & Shane O'Connell
