Ralph Charles Francis Schade, 56, of Winnemucca, born to Henry and Beatrice Schade on June 10, 1955, blessed us all with his beautiful presence and left us, peacefully, to be with his Lord on Tuesday, May 29, 2012.
He is survived by the love of his life, Sofia Schade and two beautiful children, Wendy Saenz and Viola Schade and his three grandchildren born to Wendy and Martin Saenz, Sabrina, Ethan and Samantha.
He was married to Sofia for 33 years. Ralph and Sofia knew when they met that they were soul mates. They saw the world through the same eyes. They celebrated each other's love every Sunday with picnics in their home. They enjoyed cooking, hosting friends and family with barbeques, always making sure everyone was happy and taken care of. We can imagine Ralph will be having picnics in heaven, as he watches over Sofia, his children and grandchildren, until they meet again.
Ralph is also survived by his brothers: Cris Schade, Jan Schade, wife Vickie, John Schade, wife Angenita, Anthony Schade, wife Linda, and sisters: Elaine King and Chali Middleton, husband, Allan and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and many wonderful friends.
As Ralph leaves us to celebrate his life, we reflect on his kind soul, his beautiful smile, his sweet voice and his enthusiasm for life. Ralph enjoyed fishing, laughing, and spending time with his younger brother Tony. Ralph's last wishes were to make sure that the business continued on as a memoriam of his life.
His love and beautiful memories will live forever in our hearts, but especially in the hearts of his wife Sofia and his brother and best friend Tony. Although gone, Ralph is never far from us, his memory will live through all of those who knew him and loved him, because to know him was to love him.
There will be no memorial, per Ralph's wishes.
