Schmit

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Glenn Andrew Schmit, a beloved father, stepfather, and grandfather, who departed this life on October 1, 2026, at the age of 69. Born on December 31, 1956, in Inglewood, California, he was predeceased by his parents, Cecilia Timmer and Herman Schmit.

Glenn's life was a testament to his unwavering dedication to family and community. He leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion, survived by his adored son, Anthony Schmit, his stepson, Steven Ball Jr., along with his beloved stepdaughters, Cassandra Godwin, Jessica Colcord, and Caitlin Ball. His heart overflowed with pride for his eight grandchildren, each of whom brought immense joy and delight into his life.

A man of great warmth and kindness, Glenn dedicated his life to nurturing those around him, always offering a helping hand and a listening ear. His gentle spirit and infectious laughter will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Glenn's memory will be celebrated at a Celebration of Life service on Sunday, December 13, 2026, 2:00 pm, at St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, located at 8300 Valley View Street, Buena Park, CA 90620. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a truly remarkable man.

If sending flowers for the service, white flowers only will be brought into the Sanctuary, all other flowers will be appreciated and on display in the Narthex and at the reception.

Though Glenn has left this earthly life, his spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. May he rest in eternal peace, embraced by the love of those who have gone before him, and forever cherished by those he leaves behind.
