Kyle T. Schwanz's Obituary
Kyle T. Schwanz, 35, of Omro, WI, passed away peacefully on January 24, 2022 after a
long hard battle with covid pneumonia.
Kyle was born on February 9, 1986 to Paula Schwanz. He was raised in Wisconsin
Rapids, WI. After his graduation from Lincoln High School in 2004 he went on to earn
his Technical degree from Fox Valley Tech in 2005 from Oshkosh, WI. Kyle was
employed at Amcor at the time of his passing.
In 2007 Kyle made a trip back to his hometown to visit Audrey Cramer, a high school
friend. Little did they know that the visit would lead to them both finding their soulmate
and the love of their lives! Kyle and Audrey were married on May 30, 2015. Together
they have raised their dogs Diamond and Hitch.
Kyle was an avid outdoorsman and loved to spend time in the woods, on the water, or
the ice, depending on the season. He never missed a hunting season in Wisconsin and
applied for every special hunt there was. He planned yearly ice fishing trips with the
guys to North Dakota every spring. This last year was a special trip with just Grandpa.
Together they created the most memorable and cherished trip out there with cookies in
tow from Grandma’s kitchen.
Everything Kyle did in his life he did it with 110% his own style. Kyle was the life of the
party with everything he did, every moment in his short time here with us he lived life to
the fullest. There was never a dull moment with Kyle Schwanz around!

Golke (Courtney Reeves); his sister Cassie Golke; his step father Jim Golke, his
