Michael D. Schroer, 76, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, entered eternal rest Sunday, May 9, 2021 with his family by his side.

Born in 1945 in Seymour, Indiana, he was the son of the late Alvin John Schroer and Selma Ann Mellencamp Schroer.

Michael enjoyed sports, especially his basketball playing days at Seymour High School, where he graduated in 1963. His love of sports continued in life as he enjoyed coaching his sons in soccer for 20 years. In 1967, he graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. He retired in 2006 from Kennametal in Augusta, Georgia, and later moved to Savannah, where he enjoyed traveling to various destinations.

As James said, Mike was the beat boss i ever had and he treated his workers in his department like people. He allowed us so much freedom to make Corrections to problems so we would not have to fight them all the time. Mike was a very laid back person and down to earth. Thank you Mike sir!!!!

To Julia and Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a kind person and I will miss him in the neighborhood. God bless you. Carol Ogle Pooler

The Schroer's lived next door to us growing up. The day we were supposed to start Kindergarten, I said to my mother, "Is Mikey going?" She said go ask him. I did and he said, "No, I want to stay home and play another year." So I told my Mother I didn't want to go to kindergarten, I'd stay home and play with Mikey.

I was very very sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. I was fortunate to live next door to Mike’s family and shared many happy days with him. From building snow forts to fight off big brother Bernie, to playing baseball, and basketball, building model airplanes, etc. He and his family were a big part of my life and I will always be grateful for having them as neighbors. I remember the excitement that he and Bernie had when his dad, Alvin brought home a 1934 Ford for the boys, When Bernie went to college it became Mike’s and was a prominent part of the “scene” in Seymour. His mother, Selma always had cookies available to feed hungry young boys. What a great family to grow up around. Jerry

Pat and I have fond memories of many dinner parties, neighborhood functions, and Mike's beautiful smile shared at our Clubhouse 'Hand & Foot' weekly card games. We had many laughs and Mike always brought wonderful food creations to share. Rest in peace Mike. You will be missed but your beautiful friendly smile is forever.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences.the best boss I ever had and a great man.my pleasure to work with him for 15 years.

Dearest Julie and family.......I am so sorry to hear about Mike! So many wonderful memories growing up with him and the rest of our cousins. Praying you find comfort in all your memories. God bless you! :pray:Barb Wiggins

I am so sorry for your loss Julie and sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Judy (Kasting) Juergens

My sympathy to Julie and the rest of the family. I remember Mike being around when we were kids and he and Julie were just dating. Prayers for comfort and peace.

I will forever remember our time together through high school and spending after school time with Mike at his dad and moms home. Playing horse and pig in the back yard. Mike let me win on occasion, but he was always ahead in our games. Mike holds the all time record for consecutive free throws at Seymour High School. It will most likely stand forever. Just like my memories of him and Julia and our friendships. Charlie Voss

Peace and comfort to you, Julia. You’re in my thoughts. Nancy Cisick

Sympathies to the family. I remember mike from basketball. He would give me a ride home after basketball practice in the black 34 Ford sedan. He was a good guy.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
