Harry Scott Schorneck

Sunrise: Sept 18, 1960 – Sunset: Sept 28, 2021

It is with great sadness we advise that Harry Schorneck passed away surrounded by love of family at Vancouver General Hospital on September 28, 2021. He was born to his Late father Hartmut Schorneck Sr. & mother Sharon (nee: Jacobs) on September 18, 1960 at Vancouver, BC. Harry descends from both Germany & Canada and was especially proud of his Squamish cultural heritage.

Harry grew up in Vancouver and Tsawwassen. He attended South Delta Senior Secondary School and graduated in 1978 with honours alongside his twin brother Hartmut Felix Schorneck Jr. He attended UBC where he studied arts, philosophy & humanities. Harry wrote about life, philosophical, political and indigenous experiences and issues he’d also write to the local newspapers and give his opinions; and he would be published. He worked as a longshoreman of the ILWU local 500 in 1977; he drove a cab in Banff, Ontario & Victoria up and to the 90’s when he returned home to the Vancouver area. Harry will be remembered as one who persisted and always made the best of each-and-every situation, for his gentle smile and great sense of humour with his huge laugh.

He will dearly be missed by his loving mother Sharon Mary (nee: Jacobs) Schorneck; twin brother Hartmut Schorneck Jr. (Angie); sister Erika Schorneck-Clark (Cameron); nieces and nephews Kyla Peters (Greg), Jenna Vocal (Myke), Hartmut Schorneck III (Mary), Jody Schorneck, Duncan Clark and Heather Clark; great grand nieces and nephews Mia Peters, Myka Vocal, Evelyn Vocal, Olivia Schorneck; and many, many loving relatives and dear friends.

A Celebration of Life was held at Chief Joe Mathias Centre on Oct 20, 2021
