Bernard "Bernie" Schmitt

June 20, 1942 — September 3, 2024

Greenville

Bernard "Bernie" Schmitt, 82, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his wife and children, on September 3, 2024, in Greenville, MI. Born on June 20, 1942, Bernie lived a life defined by warmth, adventure, and a deep love for his family.

An avid adventurer, Bernie sought new experiences and enjoyed life to the fullest. Alongside his wife, Donna, he owned and operated over five McDonald’s franchises for more than 20 years. Together, they built a successful business and a lifetime of cherished memories. Married for 60 wonderful years, Bernie took great pride in watching his children grow into adults, and he adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Known for his boisterous laugh and quick wit, Bernie could fill any room with his laugh and magnetic personality, infusing even serious moments with humor. His playful spirit, filled with dad jokes and silly faces, is a legacy that lives on through his family, ensuring laughter continues for generations.

Bernie was a devoted husband to Donna Schmitt and a loving father to Tim Schmitt, Lena Mohyla, and Patti Schmitt. His love for his family came first, and everyone who knew him was cared for. He deeply valued his community, making a lasting impact on the lives of many. Even at 82, Bernie remained active on social media, staying connected with loved ones and encouraging those around him.
