Justin Michael Schnieders, aged 40, of St. Louis, passed away on April 6, 2026. Born on September 15, 1985, Justin grew up attending St. Anthony’s Catholic School in High Ridge and is a high school graduate of Northwest High School.
He was born to Sharon and Mark Schnieders and was a part of a large, close-knit family full of the best grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Justin is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon (nee Gerik) Schnieders. Justin is survived by his father, Mark Schnieders; his brother, Matt (Rachael) Schnieders; sister, Kaylee Schnieders; nephew, Riley Schnieders; and many cherished friends and family.
Justin’s life was marked by both love and struggle. Those who knew him remember his kind heart, his laugh, his smile, and his loving bond with his mom. Even through difficult times, he remained deeply loved. He greatly enjoyed spending time with friends and family. His favorite pastime was watching and rooting for all the St. Louis sports teams. Justin had a way of charming everyone around him, no one could stay mad for long. He loved kids and helping others anyway he could, even if it was just annoying them until they smiled or laughed.
Justin will forever hold a place in the hearts of his friends and family and will never be forgotten. He will be deeply missed but we hope he is finally at peace and making his mom laugh once again.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation https://www.komen.org/, honoring his mother’s courageous battle with cancer.
