It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of Patrick Jon Schei, who was born on August 10, 1966, and passed away on August 24, 2025. Though he faced personal struggles, Pat will be deeply missed. He left us too soon, and we choose to remember the joyful memories, laughter, and moments we all shared with him.

Pat is survived by his three sisters, Suzan Schei Nelson, Penny Eillen Rose, and Lisa Ann Schei Harris, along with many friends and loved ones whose lives he touched with his adventurous spirit and warm smile. He now rejoins his mother, father, and brother in eternal peace at the gates of heaven. From Lisa Ann Schei Harris:

For my brother, as you near the shore, a love that lasts forevermore, the path ahead is not insight, but you are still my guiding light. In every memory we hold so dear, your laughter echoes loud and clear. A bound of trust, a heart so true, a part of me goes on with you. So do not fear the fading sun, your journey's race is nearly run. I will hold your hand until the end, my dearest brother and my friend. Rest now, my love, let peace surround on hallowed, gentle, sacred ground. I’ll carry your spirit, a precious art, forever living in my heart.
