SCHEER, Jan

It is with profound sadness, the family announces the sudden passing of Jan on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 in his 68th year. Beloved husband of Olga. Devoted Father of Matthew and Andrew, and Godfather of Charles. Cherished son-in-law of Claudio and Delfina and brother-in-law, Remo. Special nephew of the late Tony (Sue) of Utica Michigan, Late Luigi (Anna Maria), Elda (Larry) and Ivana of Windsor and Jack (late Hetty) of Brantford.

Jan is predeceased by his mother and father, Gerdina and Jan Sr. as well as brothers, Martin and Gordon. Retired dedicated 38 year employee of ArcelorMittal Dofasco. Jan will be remembered as a skilled tradesman and meticulous craftsman with a strong work ethic. But, most of all, he will be remembered for selflessly taking care of all family and friends he held dear in his life, including little Patches, his best friend.
