William R. Schroeder

William Robert Schroeder, age 46, a resident of Crystal Lake passed away unexpectedly at home on September 30, 2024.  He was born November 4, 1977, in Libertyville, IL to Evan Schroeder and Nancy Miltier.

Will entered the Air Force and proudly served our country for four years. He had a beautiful mind that often-sparked intense debates but also created a love of all things technology that led to a career in IT. Will thought nothing of taking apart a computer or phone to only rebuild it into something better. As much as he loved technology, nothing compared to the love he had for his beautiful daughter Ceres. He would often talk about how she was the best thing he ever did in his life and his pure, unconditional love for her shone through in every conversation. Everything he did in life was for her.

Will was preceded in death by his brother Daniel Schroeder and mother Nancy Miltier. He is survived by his father Evan (Judy) Schroeder, daughter Ceres Dewey, siblings Chad (Margaret) Schroeder, Michael (Amber) Schroeder, Jimmie Miltier, Michelle Kennedy, Charles Weekly and aunt Kim (Sam) Homer. Will was a very proud uncle to Ava and Mason and fur-dad to both Max and Lucy and dear cousin, friend and colleague to many. His death will leave a void in all of our hearts.

A visitation and funeral service are scheduled for Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Strang Funeral Chapel & Crematorium 410 E. Belvidere Rd. Grayslake, IL 60030 from 2:00pm until 6:00pm with the service commencing at 6:00pm.  Interment will be held privately.  For more information log onto www.strangfuneral.org or contact (847)223-8122.
