Obituary
Charles "Chuck" H. Schroeder, age 64, passed away on May 22, 2025, in Oshkosh, WI after a brave battle with cancer for almost 9 years. He was born on August 26, 1960, to parents Paul and Janice (Spencer) Schroeder in Waukegan, IL.
After being raised on the family farm, he graduated from River Valley High School in Wisconsin. On November 22 nd , 1980, he married Connie Selenske in Waukegan, IL.
Chuck was a very "hands-on" type of guy. He could easily eye a project and end up being spot on with measurements. He could lay any type of floor and was a carpenter by trade.
He enjoyed going fishing, working in his veggie garden and going for long walks with his dog, Dexter.
Chuck was always willing to lend a hand or lend an ear for listening. He will be remembered for being hardworking and stubborn yet very caring.
He is survived by his children, William "Bill" (Andie M.) Schroeder of Catalina, AZ, Brian (MacKenzie H.) Schroeder of Winslow, IL and Melissa Schroeder of Richland Center, WI; grandchildren in family order, Michael, Emma and Nathan, Charles, Chelsea, Colton and Connor, Mekenzie, Aydin, Gavin and Averie; great-grandchild, Shay; stepmother, Mary Novy-Schroeder; siblings, David (Roberta) Schroeder, Patrick (Krystal) Schroeder and Tammy Schroeder; significant other of over 18 years, Laura Duesterhoeft; brother-in-law, Dean Colwell.
Proceeding him in death was his wife, Connie Schroeder; father, Paul Schroeder; mother, Janice Spencer; brothers, Paul Anthony Schroeder and Eric Schroeder; and sister, Laura Colwell.
Per his wishes, no formal service will be held. The family will be holding a private gathering. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established in his honor. His final resting place will be in White Lake, WI.
The family would like to thank the staff at Aurora Hospice, especially Tish for their exceptional care. A special thank you to Pete from Pete's Garage for helping with the yard and snow care so Chuck could always get out to appointments and his care team could make it in. Your kindness will not be forgotten.
