Gregory Paul Schmidt, 68

Gregory Paul Schmidt passed away at his home in Post Falls on May 19. He was 68 years old. 

Greg was one of six children and the youngest son of Frank and Pearl Schmidt. He grew up in Coeur d’Alene and attended Coeur d’Alene High School. After graduating, Greg started in the construction trade and became an accomplished finishing carpenter. He took great pride in his work and generously came to the rescue of family and friends who needed help with a project. Later in life, he was the primary caregiver for our mother, who passed away recently. We are eternally grateful for the loving care he provided for her during her later years. Greg developed a love of gardening and raised beautiful flowers and vegetables at their home. He loved family, friends, food and the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, biking and being with friends.

He is survived by two brothers: Tim Schmidt of Valleyford, Wash., and Dick Schmidt of Post Falls, Idaho, three sisters: Jackie Rachunok of Hayden, Idaho, Cheryl Sieveke of Veradale, Wash., and Vickie Steven of Redding, Calif., along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. 

His smile and easygoing personality were loved, and we cherish the time we had with him. He will be greatly missed.

Memorial Mass will be held Friday, May 30, 2025, at 11 a.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 304 S. Adams Road, Spokane Valley, Wash. Arrangements by English Funeral Chapel, Post Falls, Idaho. Condolences to the family at www.englishfuneralchapel.com.
