Erwin Ernst Schoenrock Jr

Erwin born May 10, 1961, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, at Marshfield Medical Center on February 29, 2024. He had fought a courageous battle against cancer for nearly two years before being called to heaven to end his suffering.

Erwin was a devoted and loving son, brother, husband, father, and papa. His children and grandson were his everything. He made a point to prioritize and cherish time with them when off the road and at home. Erwin loved and took great pride in his job driving semi and drove up until his cancer diagnosis. He also had a 1974 4300 International for a hobby semi. When he wasn't driving truck or spending time with his family, Erwin was always hard at work tinkering and could fix anything.

Erwin is preceded in death by his father - Erwin Schoenrock, Sr; mother - Jean Nieman; step-father - John; sister - Mildred Schoenrock; various aunts and uncles and by his grandparents. May they welcome him to heaven with open arms.

Erwin is survived by his wife - Kimberly Schoenrock (Pyan), son - Craig, daughter - Kira (Ryan) Giese, daughter - Courtney, grandson - Brantley, brother - Paul, sister - Lori (Ken) Lenhard, brother - Kurt (Laura), goddaughters - Elizabeth Lenhard, Katy Coutley & Ava Schoenrock, aunts, uncle, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family would like to extend thanks to all the loving and caring staff that took care of Erwin during his stay at MMC. It is truly appreciated.
