Roddi “Rod” Lee Schumacher was born on September 1, 1964, in Sioux Falls, SD, to Paul and Eva (Castle) Schumacher. The youngest of five children, he was welcomed home to a busy household that included his three sisters, Linda, Terri, Debbie, brother, Rick, and the family dog, Gigi.

Rod had a profound appreciation for nature, particularly enjoying fishing, outdoor activities, and the companionship of dogs. He dedicated many hours to fishing for walleye and perch, and treasured the time spent with his Labrador retriever, Buddy.

Grateful to have shared Rod’s life are his dear daughter, Jessica (Joseph) Mango; grandson, Torben; sisters, Linda Rosseter, Terri McDonald, and Debbie Nakata; brother Rick; numerous nieces and nephews; and many other relatives and friends.

Rod was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Eva; and several aunts and uncles.

May we remember his empathy, sense of humor, willingness to lend a helpful hand, and his love for Jesus.
