Obituary for Paul Robert Schumacher Paul Robert Schumacher, age 58, Mount Pleasant, WI went to be with our Lord and Savior on July 8th, 2018, after a tragic car accident. A loving husband, father, grandpa, brother, neighbor and friend. He was first and foremost a believer in Christ.
This September 2018, he was to be ordained a Catholic Deacon at the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He lived everyday with his eyes to Heaven. Paul loved the Lord, his Catholic faith, and his family.
He was born to Marvin and Elizabeth (Van Zeeland) Schumacher on January 20th, 1960 and grew up in Combined Locks, WI. He attended high school at St. Lawrence Seminary, Kimberly High School and graduated from West De Pere High School. He earned his degree in Mathematics from UW Oshkosh.
He then started his journey of fatherhood – being a wonderful and supportive dad to Joe, Sara, Brittany, and Henry. He and his wife, Lisa (Hansen) Schumacher would have celebrated their 20th anniversary this September 19th. Paul was very active in the Rotary and Sacred Heart Catholic Church community.
He lived life to the fullest enjoying his grandchildren, his camping family, golf and bacon. He was an avid Nascar, Milwaukee Bucks, and Green Bay Packer fan. Paul was a very loving and supportive husband, a great hugger, had a wonderful sense of humor and loved campfires, music, game nights and “dinner with dad” nights.
He and Lisa loved to host gatherings that were attended by many friends and family members. Most importantly, he lived a prayerful and spiritual life. He always said when he was no longer here on earth in body he wanted his NEW life in Christ to be celebrated!
One of his favorite Bible passages Psalm 37:23-24 says, “Those whose steps are guided by the Lord; whose way God approves, may stumble, but they will never fall, for the Lord holds their hand”. Paul was preceded in death by his mother Elizabeth, his step-mother Rosie (Verstegen) Schumacher, his niece Carrie Schumacher, and his brother-in-law Greg (Doc) Johnson. Paul leaves behind his wife, Lisa; four terrific children; Joseph (Anna) Schumacher, Sara (Casey) Lampereur, Brittany (Vincent) Lang and Henry Schumacher.
He is further survived by six grandchildren: Aura, Rose, Dalton, Eliza, Jameson and Lucas (and one due in October); and his father Marvin Henry Schumacher. Paul was blessed with a very large family. His siblings include: Thomas (Lois) Schumacher, Mike (Brenda) Schumacher, Sue (Jim) Gage, Sally (Tom) Schmidt, Richard (Deb) Verstegen, Jean Schumacher, Renee (Joe) Wyngaard, Regina (Mike) Wildenberg, Carol (Mike Jandrin) Schumacher, Roy (Kathy) Verstegen, Greg (Greta) Schumacher, Ruth (Patrick) Verstegen.
