Obituary:
Ted W. Schmidt, Hollandtown, age 30, passed away on Tuesday, September 14, 2010, with his loving family and staff at his side. Ted died from complications of Tuberous Sclerosis, which he was diagnosed with shortly after he was born on October 16, 1979. Ted's parents are Dennis and Linda (Jacobs) Schmidt of Hollandtown (Kaukauna). Ted lived in his home at He-Nis-Ra Lane in Green Bay for over 5 years. He previously lived at Agape of Appleton, Willow Glen of Milwaukee and J. Edward Court in Suamico. We are very proud that Ted graduated from Syble Hopp School in DePere. Ted led a simple life. He enjoyed looking at picture books, throwing stones in the water, bouncing balls, and shooting hoops. He also loved See N Says. Ted loved spending time with his Dad on the ATV. He had a warm personality and loved to smile. Ted made many people appreciate life more and taught patience to many.
Besides his parents, he is survived by his two brothers and sisters-in-law and five nieces and nephews. They are: Andy and Christel (Libby and Drew), Neal and Jodie (Dylan, Brady, and Katie); his paternal grandparents, Vincent and Rose Schmidt; Godmother, Pat Barker; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Ted was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Walter and Gladys Jacobs; a nephew, Francis Schmidt (son of Andy and Christel Schmidt); his Godfather, Ken Barker; and his uncle, Carl Schaeffer; as well as special friend and neighbor, Sharon Meyers.
It was an honor to be Ted's parents and he will be missed greatly and never forgotten. Ted changed our lives and taught us so much about life, love, and our faith. We know that Ted is in heaven and now he is perfect, no seizures, no pain, no headaches, and no more medicine.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 18, 2010 at ST. KATHARINE DREXEL PARISH at ST. FRANCIS CHURCH, 433 County Road CE, Kaukauna (Hollandtown) with Fr.

In lieu of flowers, there will be a Memorial in Ted's name at Syble Hopp School as well as for the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance. Burial will take place in the parish cemetery.
