Mark "Paco" Schneikart's Obituary
Mark "Paco" Schneikart, age 56, passed away on August 30, 2025.
Beloved husband of Jen Apotsos and devoted father of Margaret and Madison Schneikart, Mark was a man whose life was deeply rooted in love, family, and soccer.
He was the cherished son of Gary and Janice Schneikart, and loving brother of David Schneikart (Christine). He was a proud uncle to Jacob and Ashlee Schneikart and a caring nephew to Ken Stowell (Judy), Susan Schlesing (Ed), and Carol Augustin (Eric).
Soccer was not just a sport to Mark—it was his passion and way of life. A lifelong player and dedicated coach, he especially found joy in coaching his daughters, whom he adored. He was truly the best girl dad, always present on the sidelines and in their lives. A loyal supporter of Chelsea FC, Mark brought the same heart and commitment to the game as he did to his family and friends.
Memorial contributions may be made out to the family for the benefit of Margaret and Madison Schneikart’s education.
A visitation will be held on Sunday, September 7, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at Jardine Funeral Home, 15822 Pearl Road, Strongsville, Ohio 44136, with a memorial service immediately following at 3:00 PM.
