Gregory Stewart Schrodt, 53, of Berthoud CO passed away on December 8, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Macarena; 3 step children, Joaquin, Sophie and Amanda; his mother, Linda; sister, Ann (Dan) Hill; aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. He is preceded in death by his father, Stewart, and his grandparents.
Gregory was born in Murphysboro, IL and his parents moved to Springfield, IL a year later. Springfield was his home until he grew up and developed an interest in scuba diving. He obtained a certification to repair diving tank regulators and moved to Houston, TX, where he lived for 10 yrs.
Gregory eventually wanted to relocate and found Lyons, CO, living first in Pinewood Springs and subsequently in Lyons. He loved the small town artsy feel of Lyons and truly felt he belonged there.
The thought of working at the Lyons Fire Dept was something he wanted, starting first as a volunteer and moving up through the ranks to become Captain. This was a career he loved for the past 10 yrs. He was loved by this community just as much as he loved them.
During this time he met Macarena Anguita and her children, whom he loved. Their love of music, food, and fun artwork brought them together. Among friends and family, they were married on May 17, 2019 in Lyons. Gregory loved the outdoors, cooking, hiking, biking, and learning how to fix things. Macarena and Gregory traveled together to Montana where they enjoyed time at Flathead lake where they had planned to retire together and live near the lake. His ashes will be spread at the lake by his family in the summer.
Gregory loved his family most of all, and was dedicated to teaching the girls life skills. They have fond memories of Gregory teaching them how to drive, cook, change tires, ride bikes, organization, and much more. They loved going to concerts together and shared their love for country music, in particular, Taylor Swift.
Gregory loved his cats, Monty, Odie, Koko, and Lola. His phone was full of kitty pictures that he shared with all of those who asked about his kitties
A celebration of life will be held 2:00pm, January 6th at Wildflower Pavilion at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO.
Olinger Highland Mortuary in Thornton, CO, is in charge of arrangements.
