Steven Schuler Obituary

Hi Adam,

We are so sorry about your dad and would have been at the services had we known.

As you well know he was one very special unique guy. We don't even want to know what he allowed you and "Matte" do during those jr. high days!

It was always a kick being with him, at a baseball game, the gym meets, or on the front porch steps -he always had something interesting to say.

We were all very lucky to know him.



Below is a writing from Henry Scott Holland found in an Irish monastery, it puts the loss of a loved one in a different light.



Death is nothing at all - I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of you mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better, infinitely happier and forever - we will all be one toghther with Christ.

My Dearest Friend and Brother,



You were never afraid to try something new. Once again you have taken that first step and insisted on leading the way. Our families are now spread out as far as they possible can be. But I still feel we are as close as ever. One family together, we raised our children and celebrated life. I know that all of us will always treasure those times and feelings. You are and always will be my best friend and brother. No time or distance can ever really separate any of us. You and our family are in my heart and mind always.



Until we met again, God Bless my friend,

With love for you and all of our family forever,



Chris

To all Steve's family and friends:
I am truly sorry and saddened to hear of his passing. Steve was a lot of fun, and hopefully you will all carry those memories with you in life. I know I will!

Marti, Jennifer, Nicole, and Adam,

I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear of Steve's passing. It breaks my heart to know that he was taken at such a young age. He was always like a second father to me. I know that we haven't been very good at keeping in touch, but I'm thankful for all of the years we spent together. I've always looked forward to the card and line or two from Steve every Christmas. I loved him and you all so much.

MARTI, JENNIFER, NICOLE & ADAM,
WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU GUYS. STEVO WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED IN YOUR HEARTS. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WE ALL HAD, ESPECIALLY THAT HALLOWEEN PARTY, STEVO AS FRED FLINSTONE. HE LOOKED SO CUTE IN THAT ONLY SHIRT NO PANTS OUTFIT. REST IN PEACE DEAR FRIEND, SAY HI TO MY MOM UP THERE. LOVE DEBBIE

Steve-O,

You were one of the best ScoreHeads going and you will be greatly missed, both on the radio and at the remotes. I was shocked and saddened to learn of your untimely passing. God must have needed someone to make a few wisecracks.

Peace.

Dear Marti and kids,

I knew your dad, mom and you when you were small children. Although I haven't seen any of you in a very long time, it makes me very sad to hear of your loss. God bless.

Dear Joy, Tom and Schuler Family,

Please know that you have my prayers and the prayers of the Daughters of Charity during these very difficult days.

What a sad day it was when we heard
that Steve wasn't with us anymore.
He was such a unique guy, good dad,
all around good person. We always looked forward to the phone calls we'd get during football season,
sometimes to celebrate, sometime to commiserate. Steve, you will be missed more than you'll ever know.
Thanks for the memories. Rest in peace my friend.

Stevo--thanks for opening your heart to me and being my friend and being there for my mom when I couldn't be. Adam, hang in there your dad will always be there for you as long as you keep him in your heart.

Steve-O

Whenever I had to stop by the Lions Park Townhomes I could ALWAYS count on a smiling face and a cold beer. I know that I will still always look for you but will smile knowing that you are now in a much better place.

Stevo was the most friendly outgoing person I have known. When you first met him he treated you like he had known you for years. Fantasy Football and my birthday party will both have a note of sadness for me this year as one of the brightest spots will not be there. You always think that there will be time some other day to tell someone how much they mean to you. I did not have time to do that with Stevo so I hope he can here this. You are a great friend Stevo and I'll always love ya man!

Stevo,
I'll never forget your abrasively "rough around the edges" style. There was so much more to you than what you often showed the people around you. I will I always remember what made you a mentor, a good friend, and a good person. It was an honor to have known you in life.

Au revoir my friend,

-Glenn

Adam- Your father was a good man.
The good ole park days wont be forgotten with him. =0)
My condolonces are sent out to you and your family.

Hey Stevo!
You were like an Uncle to me..when I was born you were the first one at the hospital..I am gonna miss you coming over on ocasional Sundays to watch the Bears!!
Im gonna miss ya Steve...You will be in my heart forever!

To Marti, Jennifer, Nicole and Adam please know that we are put on this Earth for a purpose. It appears as thought Steve had accomplished his mission in the eyes of our lord. Don't be saddened but, rejoice knowing you were part of his life.

We lost a great person in Stevo. I've come to know him through various sportsradio remotes over the years - and whenever I showed up, there was that friendly smile, a hearty handshake, and the offer to buy me a drink. Although most of the time we talked about the sour state of Chicago sports, Stevo was very proud of his children - and told some of the most entertaining stories about various aspects of his life.

You'll be missed compadre.

ciao

STEVEO

My condolences to all the family.

Stevo, I'd only known you just barely 2 years-but you touched my life and are very special to me still. You'll be in my heart and thoughts always.

Stevo,
On behalf of my family I want to extend all our love! You will always have a place in our hearts! The loss of such a good friend, to myself, my children and my grandchildren is hard to bare. Good bye for now my friend.
See you on the other side.
