Dennis Wayne Schmidt

Dennis (Denny) Schmidt

Age 74 of Mahtomedi, MN

An Extraordinarily Honorable, and Humble Man:

Denny was a loving, caring family man.  He loved a good joke, and would be the life of the party keeping people laughing through the night.  He was selfless beyond words, a trait he got from his mother.  He was also known as a man with a sense of integrity and faith, and one who was always quick to help anyone in need.  He had the respect, and love of anyone who ever met him, as is evidenced by the vast number of friends he has made along the way as a realtor, an Insurance Broker, and community member.  He will be most remembered for his kindness toward everyone he met.

Denny was a volunteer on the Mahtomedi Fire and Rescue Department for 18 Years. He also volunteered at North East Residence, and Meals on Wheels for many years.  More recently Denny has enjoyed his time volunteering for LOVE TO NIC, a non-profit organization supporting our homeless Vets, and others with mental health diagnosis, and also as a member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

Denny will be deeply missed by his wife of 55 years, Corrine, their children, Julie (Alan) Kaufman, Anthony Schmidt, grandson Aaron, (Anna) Hofbauer, and great-grandson, Atticus Hofbauer, and foster-son for 28 years, David Duerr. His brother Roger (Maura) Schmidt, sister Karen (Nick) Dinius, and sister-in-law Mary Lou Schmidt.  His brother-in law Kelly (Marci) Comer, sister-in-law Colleen Roberts, sister-in- law Cathy (Rick) Wallinder, Charlie Erlitz, Aldo Walker, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends all of whom he deeply loved.

He is preceded in death by parents Gertrude and Roger Schmidt, his brother Gary, and in-laws Harry and Stella Comer, and son in-law, Dr. Randy Hofbauer, brother-in-law Dennis Roberts, and Nata Schleicher.

Services will be on Jan 5 at 11:00 AM  with Visitation starting at 9:30 AM at Trinity Lutheran Church (115 4th St N, Stillwater, MN).
