What a truly heartbreaking loss, Chris was a very talented man in so many ways. I had the privilege of knowing him since we where small children, ironically his daughter Lacey and my daughter Shelbea became best friends at a young age. His affectionous smile and kindness will truly be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Schmitt family. May God wrap his arms around each of you through this most difficult time.

To the entire Schmitt Family……………………
We are so sorry for your loss. What a great person Chris was, there are not enough words to express this. This world has lost a beautiful soul & kind Man. May your memories, videos & pictures continue the laughter for which Chris was so well known for, well, at least here on the Farm. He was the sunlight each morning that brightened our days, and the strength & knowledge that got us through most of those days. Chris was the best thing that ever happened to Stan Leep Farms, that is for sure, even Stan Leep said this himself yesterday. We have great memories of Chris, there isn’t a bad memory in our minds only good ones of laughter and smiles.
Chris came to Leep Farms this spring. He and Billy were a “breathe of fresh air” so to speak to the farm. Positive attitudes and a relentless work ethic, Chris was determined to change things for the better and get things done! He was an extremely hard worker, but always had a great time while doing it, he was a great teacher & mentor to the young men on the farm. The things Chris taught them they are appreciative for and will never forget. Chris could fix anything, such a talented Millwright and Welder Chris was.
We at Stan Leep Farms are going to miss you so Chris Schmitt, the impact you had on all of our lives, some old friends, some of us new friends. Chris touched our hearts & lives in such an amazing & positive way, such a gentle soul, & kind Man, you could not help but love this Man, his personality and smile were contagious for sure.
We know your going to be with us & walk beside us still Chris, our ANGEL on the Farm now, you will be in our hearts forever my friend, may you guide us and help us as you have done for the last 6 months, forever on………….I am sure you are loving the view up there, and we know you are smiling down upon us and our hearts smile still as we think of you, because we know you are still with us, you walk with us still………just in a different kind of way.
Prayers, Love & Hugs to the Schmitt Family ,
All of us at Stan Leep Farms; Stanley, Linda, Shanon, Billy, Rick, Justen, Moe Dog & Fancy

Mr & Mrs Schmidt, Vince, Suzanne, Ang, Lacey, Anna and the entire family…..my heart goes out to all of you for your sudden loss of such a dear son, brother and dad. I pray that you feel God’s comfort and find some peace during this difficult time and know that he and Chris are watching over all of you. The memories in your heart, can never be taken away….so cherish them and reflect back on them during those tough days.
I remember vividly, when I was younger, playing at the Schmidt house and when we would play hide & seek or tag, if we could reach Chris before getting found or tagged, we would be safe. With several screaming girls running through the house, he was always a good sport. Thank you Chris, for these lasting memories.
Until we see you again in Heaven Ü

I was so sorry to hear about Chris. We had so much fun with him when we played golf together and he always used to call Floyd and I Al and Peg. we got the biggest kick out of that. He was a very nice young man and will be missed by a lot of people. May he rest in peace. God bless you and your family.
