Obituary For David John Schmitz
David John Schmitz, age 67 passed away on May 21, 2025 at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Dave was the middle child of the late Bill and Rose (Maiorino) Schmitz. He was raised and lived in Newport until his marriage to Monica Stewart in 1993. He is survived by Monica, his son Joseph and daughter Julia Schmitz-Reid (Kameron). Also, his siblings Barb (Tim) Rawe, Don (Sherri), Sue (late Charlie) Mills, and Steve (Kathy). He was known affectionately to his 2 nieces, 5 great nieces, 7 nephews, and 11 great nephews as "Uncle Bubba".
Dave was a printer by trade but in his spare time enjoyed carpentry work by making tables and many other items for family members. He also was a Classic Rock Enthusiast and could name any tune.
He was always on call to help anyone who needed his expertise, he was very talented in the fix-it trade. The only payment he would take was a steak, a cold beer, and time reminiscing about the good old days. He loved talking college football and basketball. GO IRISH!
