Frank “Gene” Schneider, beloved husband, father, son, brother and uncle, died on November 5, 2026, in West Valley City with his wife and brother by his side. Gene was reunited with his beloved son and daughter, who were anxiously waiting for his return.

Gene was born July 15, 1955, to Frank Schneider and Jeri Granger. He grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from South High School. Gene married his wife, Teri Brewer, in 1972, and together they had two children, Angie and Ryan.

Gene worked in the trucking industry for 30 years and seven months, starting with Warner Truck Center, Freightliner, and eventually Premier Trucking, retiring on June 30, 2021. Gene took pride in his work as an information technologist and loved solving complicated problems. Gene cared deeply about his customers and his work associates.

The things that meant the most to Gene were his wife, children, and his extended family. He faced several challenges in the last few years, losing his son and his daughter to cancer. He was by their side until the very end. Gene was known to give the best hugs, which is one of the things we will miss the most about him. He loved fancy cars and had many over the years. Gene was kind, loving, caring, and respected by all who knew him. Gene had a great sense of humor even until the very end, joking and having great conversations.
