Mark John Schneiderwendt

Mark John Schneiderwendt, age 63, of Rhinelander, died on Oct. 14, 2023, at the Rhinelander Aspirus Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on Sept. 29, 1960, in New London, the son of Marcus and Georgene (Jensen) Schneiderwendt. He attended schools in New London, graduating from the New London High School where he excelled and set state records with the wrestling team.

After high school it wasn't long before he found his heart belonged in an 18-wheeler and he began driving cross country for Ort Trucking. He spent part of his life over the road before he married and settled down with his soulmate Becky Ison and her three kids Robbie, Greg and Caitlin in 1995. Mark then drove dump trucks locally for many companies making friends along the way.

Mark enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, campfires, a good Netflix binge, his Harley, his family — both immediate and extended and lastly, his two favorites, his grandsons Jensen and Seamus. Mark enjoyed his Harley-Davidsons throughout the years with many trips to Sturgis and had tons of stories if you had the time.

He is survived by the love of his life Becky Ison of Rhinelander, his stepson Rob (Maeve) Meyer of Sun Prairie, his stepdaughter Cait (Nate) Lower of Monico, his grandsons Jensen, Seamus and Liam, his sister Mary Wood of New London, his nieces and nephews Jennifer, Becky, Nick and Dylan, along with many more nieces and nephews he was lucky to know and love.

He was preceded in death by his parents Marcus and Georgene Schneiderwendt, his stepson Greg Meyer, his brothers Bill and Larry Schneiderwendt, his sister-in-law Vicki Schneiderwendt, his brother-in-law Jack Ison, his niece Sara Ison, and his nephew Paul Schneiderwendt.

Per Mark's wishes there will be a celebration of life sometime in spring when all will be invited to share memories. You may leave your private condolences for the Schneiderwendt family at www.carlsonfh.com.
