John Kenneth Schauer, Jr., age 86, of North Fort Myers, passed away on January 2, 2025, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. John was born on August 21, 1938, in Chicago, Illinois, to John and Elizabeth Schauer.

After proudly serving as a Military Police Officer in the Army, John was honorably discharged in 1968. He briefly attended Northern Michigan University before beginning a career in the brewing industry. John worked for Schlitz, Stroh’s, and Anheuser-Busch, retiring in 2000.

Throughout his life, John enjoyed a variety of activities including bowling, golf, darts, and, most of all, boating. Whether at Pewaukee Lake, Pier 11, or Lake Fairways, John always had a knack for making friends and turning them into family. Not only did his friends enjoy his company all of their pets did too.

John will be fondly remembered for his kindness, generosity, and his love of happy hour. He is survived by his sister, Candi Zurn, his former spouse, Joan Schauer, his two daughters, Renee Morris (Sherman) and Kristen Klas (Brian), as well as his three beloved grandchildren, Cole Teuton, Connor Morris, and Vivian Klas.

A celebration of John’s life will be held at a later date. If you would like to celebrate John’s life, please have a drink in his honor.

John’s memory will forever be cherished by all who knew him.
