Schmidt, Robbie Joel (26 JAN 1969 - 25 JUN 2017)

Robbie Joel Schmidt, age 48, of Marshfield, passed away Sunday, June 25, 2017, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.

A funeral service was held at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 29, 2017, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencer. Visitation was held at the Hansen-Schilling Funeral Home (201 S. LaSalle St.) in Spencer from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, and again one hour prior to service on Thursday at the church. Burial took place at 2:30 p.m. in the Athens Lutheran Cemetery in Athens.

Robbie was born Jan. 26, 1969, the son of Melvin and Dolores (Ewan) Schmidt in Medford. He graduated from Nekoosa High School on time a year after being diagnosed with and treated for brain cancer. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencer and volunteered with Orphan Grain Train.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trips to the zoo. He especially enjoyed his special lunches with Doug and Cody. Those that knew Robbie best will miss his kind heart, compassion, and his positive outlook on life despite the hardships that he faced in life.

Robbie is lovingly survived by his parents, Melvin and Dolores; and his siblings, Doug (Lucy) Schmidt, Jay (Sandy) Schmidt and David Schmidt. He is further survived by two nephews and two nieces; as well as two great- nieces and a great-nephew. He will truly be missed.

Those wishing to express their sympathy are encouraged to do so to Trinity Lutheran Church and the Orphan Grain Train.
