Ret. Officer Gary Schroeder
End of Watch April 17, 2023
After faithfully serving the Zumbrota community as a Police Officer for 18 years and serving as a member of the Zumbrota Fire Department for many years before medically retiring at the end of 2020, Gary fought a difficult yet courageous battle against PTSD attained in the line of duty. Gary was very proud of his service and struggled greatly with no longer being able to serve in the same capacity. The darkness he witnessed on this earth overtook him, and he was brought into the Lord's light on Monday April 17, 2023.
Gary married the love of his life, Kim on May 22, 2004. They partnered in parenting three boys who have grown into creative, kind, and respectful teenagers.
Gary had a passion for his family, and he believed in the importance of having one on one time with each of them. He was energized by sharing his passions. He took the boys archery and firearm hunting for Elk in Colorado and Wyoming, and deer and turkey hunting in Kansas. He also mentored his dad and brother while turkey hunting. He was a proud father who loved teaching his boys about life. Not just teaching them how things are done, but also why. He found great enjoyment in sharing his family with others as well and always enjoyed their annual Boundary Waters adventures with the Siems family.
Gary was actively involved with many programs designed to help various communities and people in need including; COPS (Concerns Of Police Survivors) through the Zumbrota half-marathon, the Special Olympics Torch Run, the Invisible Wounds Project, Honor Flight, Protectors Peak and Fight for Air Climb, as well as many others.
He was a remarkable man who left a lasting impression on all that he had contact with. He wasn't afraid to share his feelings and cry with those who he loved and with anyone who needed help. He was very strong in his faith and fully trusted the Lord.
The proceeds from this blend will be given back to the family or charity of their choice.
