In Loving Memory of Brian Schroeder February 26th, 1962-July 11th, 2025

Brian Schroeder, age 63, of Greenfield, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2025. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Brian was a proud graduate of West Milwaukee High School, Class of 1980.

From a young age, Brian displayed a natural mechanical curiosity—taking things apart just to see how they worked. By age ten, he was not only taking them apart, but also putting them back together better than before. His passion for machinery grew with him, ultimately becoming a lifelong love for cars, motorcycles, and anything with wheels and a motor. If it didn’t have an engine, Brian would find one and make it roar to life.

Brian earned his CDL and could drive just about anything, but his true joy came from building and riding motorcycles, especially on sunny days when the open road called. Whether tuning engines or spending time at the “Super Secret Hot Rod Garage,” he lived for the wind in his face and the rumble of horsepower.

Brian will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Edward and Barbara Schroeder; his sisters, Lenore (Russ) Kind and Sandy Schroeder; his daughter, Angela (Cody) James; along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, his closest friends Mike, Bill, and Tim, and many others whose lives he touched. His warmth, laughter, and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

In accordance with his wishes, a private service was held to honor and celebrate Brian’s life.
