It is with great sorrow that the families of Stan Schneider announce his passing on January 3, 2023.

He also leaves to mourn many other relatives; as well as his large extended family on Chris’s side. Additionally, Stan is remembered by many, many friends and acquaintances.

Stan farmed for most of his life. After moving on, from farming in 2007, he remained a farm boy at heart and looked forward to every opportunity to get back and help out on the farm, even for short periods of time. His farming focus expanded to include his pristine, perfect lawn in Regina. His beautiful lawn was admired by many and was the envy of the neighbourhood. In addition to farming, Stan held numerous jobs over the years and viewed each as an opportunity and an adventure.

Family was most important to Stan and shaped who he was as a person. He took every opportunity to spend time with people that he loved and treasured every moment with them.

Stan had an incredible passion for life which included food, people, culture and new experiences. He was very generous with his time and kindness for family, friends and community. Everyone who knew Stan was touched by his infectious laughter and his natural wit and comedic abilities. Stan was always up for a good time.

Stan and Chris traveled extensively with family visiting many parts of the world. The variety of destinations included South America, South Asia, Turkey, Ukraine, the Caribbean, Mexico and many points in Canada and the US.

Stan is loved by so many and will be dearly missed. His impact on us will live on forever.
