Frederick John Schmitz's Obituary
Frederick John "Smitty" Schmitz, Sr. , born 22nd of September 1953, ended his journey after 66 years, on the evening of the 19th of June 2020. Now starting his new journey in heaven watching over all his beloved family. Son; frederick schmitz, jr. (Elizabeth), his three grandchildren; Silver, Maverick, and John, his three brother's; Larry Schmitz, Buzz (Helen) Schmitz, David (Debbie) Schmitz his five sister's; Patty (Jim) Monaghan, Jean (Randy) Hovey, Madeline Shefke, Virginia (Dave) Prather, Jenny (Michael) Flanery. Smitty was blessed with a large family, (and I don't mean chunky), that he loved dearly. From his beloved Suzzie, to his parents, his brothers, sisters, spouse, children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, co-workers, employees, neighbors, and Trump. He was always meeting new people, Smitty had a big heart and loved people. He enjoyed country music, dancing, old cars, jerry springer, hot damn and cold beer. He lived with eyes wide open on the road ahead, had many homes in many states, but he passed away below hwy 10, in Florida, and that's how he would have said it. Smitty was a professional builder and bar owner. He was proud to have knowledge in several fields, and he was always eager to teach these skills to others, from electrical, auto, to painting. He could fix anything. Smitty made friends faster then a southern weed could grow, because he had such a open heart. He posted Go Trump. He will be missed but never forgotten. Just as his eyes and mind were opening, there shut. As dad would say o- boy.
