Terrance “Terry” M. Schneider

Terrance “Terry” Michael Schneider passed away on July 11, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Terry is survived by his beloved wife, Kim; his children, Samie (Jason) Kaczkowski, Kyle (Dani) St. Andre, and Claire (Alec) Barth; his cherished grandchildren, Lincoln and Rowan Kaczkowski; his mother, Mary Schneider; his brother, Jim (Mary) Schneider; his sister, Rita (Larry) Conard; and many beloved nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Schneider; his mother-in-law, Lois Jankowski; his sister-in-law, Katherine Schneider; and many other loved ones who went before him.

After graduating from St. Norbert College, Terry began his career as a Certified Public Accountant with Price Waterhouse. He later joined Gamay Foods as Chief Financial Officer before becoming Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, the company experienced remarkable growth and expansion, helping bring countless food products to grocery store shelves across the country. His vision and leadership guided the company through multiple acquisitions, ultimately transforming it into Revela Foods.

Terry was a devoted Green Bay Packers fan—a loyalty that never wavered, no matter the season. He loved golfing and fishing, but some of his greatest joy came from spending time with his family on the lake in Pewaukee or relaxing together on the beaches of Florida. He was also famous for his “den talks.” If you had one, you knew you mattered. Whether he was offering encouragement, tough love, or one of life’s many lessons, those conversations became memories his family will cherish forever.

Above all else, Terry loved his family. He was a devoted husband, a proud father and grandfather, a loving son and brother, and a loyal friend whose presence was impossible to ignore. He had a larger-than-life personality, an infectious sense of humor, and a rare ability to make everyone around him feel seen, welcomed, and valued.

Terry considered himself a pretty big deal—and, as it turns out, so did a whole lot of people.

Anyone who knew him quickly grew to love, admire, or respect him. He had a gift for making people laugh, offering wisdom when it was needed most, and leaving every room a little brighter simply by being in it. His humor, strength, stories, and unmistakable presence will be deeply missed. Though his absence leaves an immeasurable void, the love he gave, the values he instilled, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

A Celebration of Terry’s Life will be held at Fête, 500 East Summit Avenue, Wales, Wisconsin, on Sunday, August 2, 2026, gathering 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Service at 4:00 PM. Light appetizers & refreshments to follow.

Please wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, although Green Bay Packers attire is encouraged in honor of Terry.

Floral arrangements and memorials may be arranged through Krause Funeral Home.
