Baptized, Francis on 9/15/1946 at St Vincent De Paul Church in Perryville, MO.
Wayne was the oldest of eight children, born to Chalmer August Schott and Eunice Marie Buchheit Schott Lynn & Patricia Schott, Carole & Joe Hilton, Eugene Schott, Mike & Connie Schott, Rick Schott & Connie Chavez, Larry & Janet Schott, Janice Mizer Predeceased.

Wayne’s parents Chalmer and Eunice Schott, married and planned to raise their family in Perryville, MO. Where they lived for a few years until, Wayne’s asthma condition continued to worsen, and the family was advised by doctors to move to the Denver area for Wayne’s benefit. The family settled in the Englewood area. Wayne went to school at St. Louis Catholic Parish in Englewood, which unfortunately closed early in 2016. Later the family moved to Littleton. Wayne went to Mullen High School, until his Senior year, he transferred and graduated from Littleton High School, so he could save money for college. He then went to Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado and graduated with a BA in Music Education. While at Adams State, Wayne had to switch instruments from his Accordion to the Drums and Other Percussion instruments. Wayne played the Accordion for many years and won many awards during that time. But, upon switching to the Drums Wayne became a very accomplished Percussionist. He started on his Masters, but just short of receiving his degree, it became obvious that “joining” would be to his advantage than being “called up” as he had a very low number.

Wayne entered the Army on June 27, 1969, during which, he Joined the Army Corp Band. During his time in the service, he received the Sharp Shooter Metals, Competition Awards, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal. He was Honorably Discharged on the 30th of December 1971.

After, his discharge Wayne worked for several places including Hanover, BOSS Manufacturing, The Box Manufacturing Plant and lastly United Power Rural Electric Assoc.

While working at BOSS Manufacturing Wayne met Dede, and her 2 sons, Donny and Ronny. Dede and Wayne were married on October 9th, 1981. In the Chapel at Heritage Square. Saddened that it has now closed permanently and torn down. Wayne was a member of the Denver Concert Band for a total of 20 years he played in the Percussion Section. Many of those years he was section Leader. The family enjoyed many years of Summer “Music in the Park” performances. Concerts at many venues in Colorado and road trips to Oregon, North Dakota, Wyoming and more. Wayne also played the Base Violin for the Arvada Symphony Orchestra. He played the Timpani Drums for many churches at Easter, as he was one of the leading Timpanist in Denver.

Shortly after their wedding, Dede began working with Wayne at BOSS Manufacturing. They enjoyed working together very much. And did so for several years. While working at there, Wayne was able to adopt both Donny and Ronny on April 12, 1983. Bought a new home and moved into it. Shortly after, they petitioned Korea, for the adoption of a baby girl and were able to greet their new daughter, Amanda, on November 6th, 1984. Just 4 days before Dede’s Grandparent’s 50th Wedding celebration. A huge celebration it was for all, for sure. Her adoption was final on August 20, 1985.

Within a short time after Amanda arrived, Wayne’s company announced that after 50 years in business, was closing their doors. Thankfully, a close friend of Dede’s reached out and was able to secure a wonderful position for Wayne at United Power Rural Electric Assoc. Where he worked until April 11th, 2000.

During the years the kids were growing up, many days and nights the family spent great times on the ball fields. The Boys played Baseball, Football, and Wrestled. Amanda played soccer and later followed her Fathers footsteps into Music and played for the Stanley Lake HS Band. She was also part of the Percussion Ensemble that took State. Wayne was a Coach or Assistant Coach for all the sports and a Field Crew for the Band. Wayne never missed a game or an event for the kids, all while working an average of 72 hours a week. There were many young people who stayed for a while with us over the years and were very special to us all. The door was always open to the kid’s friends.

Dede’s sister’s daughter, their niece, Jenny Lee Margaret Frazier was killed in a car accident on March 23rd, 00. While at her Funeral in Arizona Wayne had a “warning stroke”. They rushed home to Colorado to get Wayne to a doctor. Unfortunately, Wayne suffered a debilitating Stroke that morning, before he could make it to the doctor’s appointment. All their lives were changed drastically on that day.

April 11th, 2000.
Which, Wayne was soon to prove the doctors wrong and progressed on for many years to come. Eighteen years, 307 days he enjoyed life and times he was not supposed to. Ultimately, Wayne was able to walk his daughter down the aisle. Adopt another son, Michael Christopher on, October 15, 2007. they learned to walk and talk together. He was also able to be there for all five of his grandchildren’s births.

Wayne had his ups and downs over the last 2-3 years but, was able to bounce back after frequent bouts pneumonia and UTI’s. During that time, he was intubated, had procedures for both a G-Tub placement and a Super pubic Catheter placement. All these procedures gave him added days but were not able to give him more than a couple of years. In the end, the silent aspiration was too much for his lungs to handle and he succumbed to the fluid buildup in his lungs and a stroke in the early morning hours on February 12th, 2019.

The family would like to thank his caregivers, Margie Stevens his CNA for 10 years, his Sister-n-Law, Nancy Frazier and Mother-n-Law Marlene Speicher, Granddaughter Kira Schott, who learned to Care for her PaPa and is now going on to get a Nursing Degree and Christopher Grace, his True Friend, and all who cared for Wayne during his last years, His care was not easy and not without complications, those who cared for him were awesome and very much a big support to Wayne. All the Doctors and Nurses who gave their ALL during the 32 visits to BCH Hospital in the last 3 years. Thank You to those who visited him at home and at the hospital. You have no idea how much he Loved those visits.

Wayne asked Special His Feelings Be Expressed To:
For the Love of his Brother Mike Schott and Sister Carole Hilton and their Families who never forgot him. The Life Friendship of the Oughton Family who stood by the family thru some tuff times over the years. A Special Love of His Nieces Heather Ingram, Shannon Trujillo, and their Families and Nephew Jeffery Schott and his Family, Tricia Montoya Schott former Daughter-n-Law, Christina Schott former Daughter-n-Law and
her Fiancé Joey Borrego who meant so much to Wayne.

To his Grandchildren, they were his Little Lighting Bugs. He received so much Joy and Love from all of them. Nothing brought him more Happiness than being with them.
Wayne will be missed by many, his friends, family and by his children and grandchildren.
Thank you for the best 38 years together, I will forever be grateful for our Love and Friendship.

Much Love, dd
