Retired United States Army Master Sergeant, Robert Eugene SCHMIDT, 89, a long-time Ogden, Utah resident, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at Legacy House of South Ogden.
Bob was born in Blackburn, MO on August 6, 1931 to Reinhold Carl and Cornelia Lovercamp Schmidt.
He grew up in the Marshall area and graduated from Marshal High School, Class of 1949, and further pursued his education with an award of an Associates Degree from Columbia College in 1975.
Bob served a career in the Army, both active duty and National Guard, serving honorably a total of 29 years, retiring from Fort Knox, KY in 1980. His career included multiple overseas tours in the Far East and Europe.

Besides being a loving and devoted father, Bob will be remembered for his passion for basketball. Although he lettered in football, basketball, and baseball in high school, basketball was always his favorite. He was a season ticket holder to the Utah Jazz and watched every game.
