Schmit, Jeffrey J. Nov 22, 1966 – May 26, 2018 Papillion, NE. 22 1/2 years at Cargill Corn Mill in Blair.
Passed away at home after an 8 month journey with thymic carcinoma, which he faced with strength and courage, with his wife of 31 years Amy by his side.
Jeff was very proud to have served in the Marine Corps Reserves. He was an avid fisherman, making a trek to Canada every June for many years. This was his much loved fishing trip! Canada was his most special place on earth. He enjoyed trapshooting, movies, and also took up cycling a year before cancer stopped him.
He and his wife, Amy, discovered a love for cruising, going to Alaska, the Panama Canal and the Caribbean.
Jeff spent 2 months in India a couple of years ago for his job, which was a memorable experience in itself. People were often drawn to his amazing smile and kindness.
Jeff loved his family, friends and his coworkers. He was so proud of his son, Kyle, and especially treasured their time together over the past 2 months.
Visitation Saturday June 2nd 1:00-2:00 p.m. With sharing of memories at 2:00 PM Roeder Mortuary 11710 standing Stone Gretna, NE . Please dress casual. In lieu of flowers, memorials to be directed to the family to be used to assist other cancer patients.

Dear Amy and Kyle,

Dear Family please accept my heartfelt condolences for your recent loss. What a beautiful smile Mr. Jeffrey had.It is comforting to know that God has initiated a long -term ,permanent solution to the problem of human suffering..God says to draw close to him,and. He will draw close to you.Please let God’s word the Bible be of comfort to you in the coming days ahead (James 4:8)
That smile on his face shows a happy, content man who love life and what he’s doing; fishing. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s comforting to know that we have a Heavenly Father who knows our inner-most struggles to come to terms with our loss. I recently lost a brother, a sister-in-law and most recently a best friend so I can sympathize with your pain. I found a comforting scripture at 2 Corithians 1:3-4 which speaks of Jehovah as the God of all comfort who comforts us in all of our trials. I hope this brings you the same comfort as it has me.
