Millstadt- Theodore Roy Schlemmer, 64, of Millstadt, passed away at 7:47 AM, Sunday, October 3, 2021 at his home. Ted was born on July 6, 1957, in Belleville to Clyde E. and Alice Alma (Stumpf) Schlemmer. He shared 26 years with Deborah Schlemmer (Segi). They were married in August of 2010, in Belleville, IL. Ted was a hardworking man, a jack of all trades, and wore many hats as a welder, mechanic, truck driver and tow truck driver. He had a knack for turning the perfect yard sale find into a good profit with a quick cleaning, fresh coat of paint, and a little elbow grease. He was an avid collector of Chevy trucks and other antiques and enjoyed spoiling his beloved grandchildren most of all. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors riding his Harley and spending time out at the family farm. He will be dearly missed. Survivors include his wife- Deborah K. Schlemmer of Millstadt, son- Erik (Eva) Schlemmer-Moskodauz of Columbia, daughter- Courtney (Carlo) Schlemmer of New Athens, grandchildren- Keagen and Sebastian Cole and Baby Vitali on the way, step daughters- Nicole (Matthew) Stumpf and Lindsey (Sean) Keefe, step son- Michael (Elizabeth) Mueth all of Millstadt, step grandchildren- Brynlee and Hayden Stumpf, Grace and Eden Mueth and Morgan and Colton Keefe.

He is survived by many nieces and nephews and beloved pets- “Ziggy” and “Sadie”. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother- Clyde Karl Schlemmer. His wish was to be cremated and a family service celebrating his life will be held at a later date. Memorial arrangements were entrusted to Leesman Funeral Home of Columbia.
