Gene Schmidt

Gene Schmidt passed from this life to begin a new adventure on April 19, 2020. He was born on St. Christopher’s Day, 1961 to Ronald and Mary (Johnson) Schmidt. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Beth (Hoffman) Schmidt and also by his parents, brothers, their families, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces.

Gene earned the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout in 1980, the same year he graduated from Elizabeth Forward High School. He graduated with a BS in General Business Administration from Arizona State University in 2005.

The joy of his work was the joy of his life. Gene was a self employed painter and wallpaper hanger all of his adult life. His greatest pleasure was bringing beauty into the homes of his customers.

Gene loved his dogs and probably loved yours too. He listed among his favorite things Arizona sunsets, bird watching, and the sounds of the city.

Gene kept his gentle humor and kindness every day of his life and leaves these as his legacy to all who loved and were loved by him. A celebration of his life will be held in Warren, PA at a later date.
