David Allen Schneck

David Allen Schneck of Green Bay died with his sons at his side on February 11, 2017, one day following his 75th birthday. He was born on February 10, 1942, in Milwaukee, the son of John and Florence (Schmitt) Schneck. On September 23, 1967, he married Magdalene “Maggie” Kaminski at the Basilica of St. Josaphat, living the majority of his life in the Milwaukee area.

After several years of professional success as a state highway surveyor, David experienced a mental health crisis leaving him permanently dependent on others to assist him with his day-to-day needs. His life is a testimony that individuals diagnosed with mental illness can, with proper medication and community support, live lives filled with love, dignity, joy and respect. David is eternally remembered first for his kindness, gentleness and disarming sense of humor, appreciated by friends and strangers alike.

David is survived by two sons: Matthew David (Rebecca) Livingstone, Montpelier, and Michael Allen (Carrie) Schneck, Middleton; grandchildren: Emilia, Isaiah, Teresa, Peter, and Azélie Livingstone; Abigail and Eliana Schneck; and beloved family, friends, and caregivers whom he held dear.

He was preceded in death by his spouse; his first son, Donald Anthony Schneck; granddaughter, Sarah Livingstone; his parents; and others whom he spoke of often, and looked forward to seeing again.
