Michael David Schmidt
Passed Away: July 11, 2005
SCHMIDT Mr. Michael David, aged 21 years of Herbert, Saskatchewan, passed away on Monday, July 11, 2005. Mike was born on March 22, 1984 in Regina, SK. Shortly after his birth the family moved to Calahoo, Alberta to begin a church-planting ministry. When Mike was three, the Schmidt’s moved to Daysland, Alberta. It was in Daysland that Mike began a school career of excellence that would culminate in Herbert. Mike finished his high school years at the top of his class. We were proud of him when he stood at his high school graduation and delivered the valedictorian address. We were even prouder when he won a scholarship to the University of Regina. Although Mike always trusted in God, the time came when he needed assurance of that relationship. On March 15, 1998 after Sunday School, he knelt with his Mom and asked Jesus Christ to be His Saviour. His Father had the privilege of baptizing him on September 13 of that same year. Those who knew and loved Mike always enjoyed his theatrical talents and his sense of humor. Mike was involved in several plays in school and delighted in performing scenes from some of his favorite movies. Those who saw them never forgot his portrayals of scenes from The Princess Bride. Westbank Bible Camp was a special place for Mike; he was there as a camper and later as a counselor. Had things worked out the way he hoped, his first priority for this summer was to work there. Unfortunately, his illness had progressed to the point where that was not possible. Mike became horribly depressed in January of 2004, and it was then that his health struggles began. He was later diagnosed as having Bi-Polar disorder. After about a year and a half of horrible fluctuations between highs and lows that caused him and his family great sorrow, the disease claimed his life. The funeral service was held on Saturday, July 16, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. at Bridgeway Community Church in Swift Current with Pastor Ken Epp officiating. The pianist was Diana Martens and the ushers were: Ian George, Ernest Block, Garth Dueck, and Mr. Martens. A tribute was written by Mike's brother and two sisters. The pallbearers were: his brother, Cory Schmidt, his brother-in-law, Tevis Schultz, his cousins: Trent Michaud, Mark Michaud, Jeff Michaud and Steven Brokop. The interment
was held at the Main Centre Cemetery
in Main Centre, SK at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to the Westbank Bible Camp, at Box 1841, Swift Current, SK, S9H 4M6. Mike is survived by his parents, Ed & Marie Schmidt; oldest sister, Jennifer; brother, Cory (Lisa) Schmidt; and sister, Brenda (Tevis) Schultz; Great-Grandma Justina Siemens; Grandma Theresa Michaud; Grandpa George & Grandma Elizabeth Schmidt; numerous aunts & uncles, cousins and friends.

At the onset of World War II Eunice was 13 years old. At the age of 14 she left school to work in a dress shop in Birmingham. Many times she told the story of her shop being bombed and how they simply cleaned up and went back to work. On May 17, 1944 Eunice met Garland Robinson, a prairie boy serving in the Canadian Force, at a dance in Much Hadam, England. Eunice and Garland were married on July 26, 1945 at the end of World War II, and in the summer of 1946 they moved to the farm at Cadillac. This was a major adjustment for a young English woman who had to adapt to a simple existence with few of the amenities to which she was accustomed. Over the next decade Garland and Eunice lived in Meyronne, Thunder Creek, and Melaval before settling in Webb. During their time in Webb, Eunice enjoyed going to dances, playing cards and getting together with friends. The door was always open to everyone, with a good meal only a few potatoes away. Eunice loved to bake and was always willing to try a new dessert recipe. In their retirement years Garland and Eunice loved to travel and take in gambling excursions. They especially enjoyed their trip to Alaska. They enjoyed camping trips in the summer and going to monthly suppers out with friends to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The funeral service was held on Friday, June 17, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. at First United Church with Reverend John Barker officiating.
