Donald Joseph Schick
June 15, 1945 — July 15, 2024
Donald Joseph Schick, 79, of North Syracuse, went to be with Jesus on July 15, 2024.
He passed peacefully with his family by his side after a long illness. Donald was born in Syracuse, New York on June 15, 1945 to Horace and Marjorie Schick. Don retired from Crucible Steel in Syracuse.
He loved all things sports, including basketball, baseball, and football he was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed tending his vegetable garden and camping in the Adirondacks with his family in the Fall.
Above all, Don was a man of God and had a special relationship with Jesus Christ. He had a passion for sharing the gospel with youth and those struggling with addiction. He was known for his sense of humor and had a way of making people laugh. Spending quality time with his wife, children and grandchildren and creating lifelong memories, was his greatest gift.
He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Don leaves us all with this; 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; Old things have passed away; Behold, all things have become new."
Don was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sally Marie Schick and parents, Horace and Marjorie Schick.
He is survived by his children, Barbara Hickman, Donnie Schick, Jr., Jennifer (Patrick) Getzfread and Daniel (Sarah) Schick; siblings, H. Leonard Schick and William E. Schick; niece Becki and nephews, Kevin, Colin and Dylan; and grandchildren, Jessica, Joshua, John William, Allison, Jacob, Patrick, Olivia, Julia, Lilian, Katelyn, Andrew and Ella.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
