Kenneth W. Schindler

Kenneth W. Schindler, age 80, of Saint Charles, Missouri passed away peacefully on Friday, March 24, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri on March 12, 1943 to Kenneth and Ruth Schindler (nee Froechtenigt).

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Diane Schindler (nee Werckmann); sons, Kenneth (Lori) Schindler, III and Todd Schindler; daughter, Cara (Mark) Laboube; grandsons, Nathan Winkler, Brogan Laboube, and Beckham Laboube; granddaughters, Olivia Schindler, Ava Schindler, Nina Schindler, Rhyan Laboube, and Maria Schindler; great-granddaughter, Everleigh Burke; sister, Kathaleen Schindler; nephew, Robert Schindler and a host of other family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth William Schindler; and mother, Ruth Rita Schindler.

Ken's work passions centered around being a Data and Systems Analyst with the Schnuck family, the United States Air Force, the Air National Guard, and as a civilian at Scott Air Force Base. After a short retirement from the Air Force, he rejoined the workforce as a poker dealer for Ameristar Casino and a Starter for Florissant Golf Course. Ken was an avid sportsman. He loved golfing, hunting and fishing as well as watching the Cardinals, Blues, Tigers, and NASCAR. In addition to the friendships he formed later in life at the Casino and Golf Course, he touched so many young lives as a Scout Leader, baseball and softball coach at St. Sabina and soccer coach for St. Sabina, Florissant United, Florissant Celtics, and Celtic United. Many terms can be used to describe Ken's role in life – Coach, Friend, Leader, Mentor, and Teacher; but the ones he was most proud of were Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and Paw-Paw. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.
