Eric Brian Schneider

Eric Brian Schneider August 20, 1969 – March 27, 2024 Eric was a remarkable man that was guided in life by his kind heart and strong moral compass. You could rely on him; Eric would always do the right thing and put the needs of others first. He was thoughtful. He was loving. He was funny. He will be missed. Eric loved his family more than anything. He was deeply devoted to his wife Raegan for 28 years and an outstanding father to their two sons, Owen and Will. As a husband, Eric was a true partner and the greatest supporter, regularly telling Raegan how proud he was of her. As a dad, Eric put in the time. He was forever patient and nurturing, and wholly dedicated to instilling values and wisdom into his young sons. He inspired his family; his love and support giving them confidence and serving as their guide. He had a great circle of friends including a special crew of life-long buddies from high school and college. He (along with Raegan) found a deep and lasting family-like connection to their next-door neighbors. Eric also forged close friendships with many of his work colleagues, the types of relationships that extended far beyond work-life alone. Eric was a sports enthusiast. He was, unapologetically, an avid Michigan Wolverines fan and loved the Browns. He also enjoyed playing golf, especially with his two sons as they grew older. He dedicated a lot of time – over 17 years – to coaching youth soccer. He loved coaching kids; his favorite years were when his two sons got to play together on the same team. Eric earned an MBA from The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business and his undergraduate degree in Finance from Bowling Green State University. He used his financial expertise and business acumen in a decades-long career within the mortgage and banking industry. He was that unique combination of being a numbers guy while also being a great communicator that enjoyed the people side of business. Eric passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at his residence. He is survived by his wife Raegan and their sons Owen and Will; father Roger Schneider; brother Ryan Schneider; sister-in-law Kristin Schneider; step-sisters Amy and Heather Parusel; mother-in-law Delores Swallow; sister-and-brother-in-law Ronda and Paul Hershberger; and nephews Justin, Grant, and Reed and a niece Eliza. Eric was preceded in death by his mother Sandy Dennis; step-mother Lynn Schneider; and father-In-law Ron Swallow. The family will receive friends at Rutherford Funeral Home at Powell in Powell, Ohio on April 5, 2024 from 1-3pm with a service to begin at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages a donation in Eric’s name to hotrockchurch.org (in Ypsilanti, MI) or the charity of your choice.
