died Friday in Omaha.
He was born to Melvin and Jo Ann (Phillips) Schneider on January 29, 1968 in Denison, Iowa. He came to Fremont with his family in 1970. He was confirmed at First Lutheran Church and his faith was very important to him. He graduated from Fremont High School in 1986.
Most of his working career was in the grocery business. He was employed by HyVee for many years, a few of those years in Omaha, but primarily in the Fremont store.
He was an avid golfer, but also enjoyed fishing and hunting. He was a sports fan, especially football, and he like to play cards.
James was preceded in death by his mother Jo Ann.

Lincoln, NE Monday, October 30, 2017 Schneid was always a great guy and would do anything for his friends. A tremendous athlete that just had a lot of bad luck. I remember the hype when Fremont's two (grade school) titans would clash when Howard played Claremar (sp?) The epic Schneider vs. Gdowski matchups! When Bracker called and told me the news, we both remembered a great story about James. We were in 6th grade heading out for football practice after school. Schneid said he had to go to the bathroom so we waited for him. It took forever and when he finally came out Troy asked what took him so long. James in his low voice calmly said: "I take my time when I go potty." Coming from a big burly sixth grader (that we swear had been shaving since 4th grade) it was classic! Thanks for everything James, God bless!Troy Fletcher
