JASON CARL SCHINDELAR
JASON CARL SCHINDELAR
1971-2019
Jason Carl Schindelar was born on May 28th, 1971,
at the US Army base at Augsburg, Germany, to John and Joan Schindelar. The
family settled in McMinnville in 1975. Jason attended school in McMinnville and
graduated from Mac High in the class of 1990. He enjoyed pottery and played
football as well as track & field.
Jason was
known for his sense of humor and infectious, gregarious laugh. He was a social
butterfly and people loved to be around him. He maintained many close
friendships that continued from childhood throughout his life.
He had
his first date with the love of his life, Amanda on July 29th, 2011, at 9pm.
The two became best friends and fell deeply in love. Jason became stepfather to
her 3 young children and helped raise them into the fine young people they are
today. Jason and Amanda were wed October 27, 2019, in McMinnville in a beautiful
celebration, surrounded by family and friends.
Jason was
a dedicated fan of college football, always rooting for Linfield and Ohio
State. He loved being on the sidelines at football games, and served on the
Linfield football team's Water Crew for over 25 years.
He was a
person with a real passion for life. He loved punk rock music, and was an avid
concert goer. He was an adventurous eater with a taste for fine foods, but
always had a weakness for a good 'ol Costco dog. He was the grill-master of the
family, with smoked meats being his specialty. The entire family will miss his
Korean steak in particular.
Jason
loved the outdoors. Summers were spent camping, spending the day at local
top-secret swimming holes, and rockhounding on the Willamette River with family
and friends.
He earned
his Associates Degree in welding and metal fabrication from Chemeketa Community
College in 2014. He found his true calling as a caregiver for physically and
developmentally disabled adults. His compassion, kind heart, and ability to
care so well for others made caregiving a natural fit, and he was dedicated to
enriching the lives of his clients.
Jason is
survived by his wife, Amanda; his sons, Max and Frank; his daughter, Althea;
his parents, John and Joan; his brother and sister-in-law, Scott and Adrienne;
his nephews, Blake and Micah; and his Uncle Randy and Aunt Tammy.
A
Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, December 21, 2019, at 1 p.m. at
the L. Lewis Pavilion at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds in McMinnville. All
members of the community are welcome to attend.
In lieu
of flowers, donations in his memory can be made to the Linfield Athletic
Department Top Cat Club to support football and soccer programs.
