Mark Jay Schneemilch, age 69, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 7, 2025.
Mark was born on July 25, 1955, in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the son of Gene and Virginia Schneemilch. After graduating from Saline High School in 1973, he continued his education at Ferris State University. Mark went on to build a career he was proud of, spending over 16 years serving as a commercial appraiser for Kalamazoo County.
While Mark was dedicated to his work, his greatest joys in life came from the people and moments that mattered most to him. He loved to travel, explore new places, and never passed up a good round of golf. A lifelong sports fan, he enjoyed playing fantasy football and fondly remembered his days running competitively in high school and college.
More than anything, Mark cherished his family. He found his greatest happiness in supporting his granddaughters, Emersyn and Evelyn, in all of their interests and activities. Whether he was cheering from the sidelines or spending time with them in everyday moments, his love and pride for his granddaughters was endless.
Mark was known by all who knew him for his exceptional sense of humor and his kind, easygoing nature. He was always quick with a joke or a lighthearted comment. His "go with the flow" attitude and ability to find joy in simple things made him a constant source of comfort, laughter, and warmth to his family and friends.
He is survived by his daughter, Elisabeth (TJ) Crawforth; his granddaughters, Emersyn and Evelyn Crawforth; his sisters, Christy (Ray) Schneemilch and Jean (Rob) Schneemilch-Irvine; his niece, Katie (Bryan) Carthew; and his nephew, Nicholas Marecle. Mark leaves behind many memories that will be forever cherished by those who loved him.
Mark's legacy is one of laughter, kindness, and unwavering love for his family. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered

Cloudy , with a high of 80 and low of 61 degrees. Cloudy during the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
No questions about the lack of inspections is alarming
Not to worry. I’m sure Ali will share her extensive knowledge of this subject (or any other subject for that matter) and will remind us that the city can do no wrong and that this situation is not due to negligence of any kind by the city!
Sorry you feel only those looking to condemn others and view situations in the most negative light possible even absent facts should be heard from.
And yet we need a lazy river, gathering places and other unnecessary things??? The city can’t supply us with clean water and now maybe no water at all. How does this even make any sense? City Government continues to fail Saline taxpayers! Maybe we need to hire more consultants and spend even more money 🤪.
Not a great situation and not mad at the City. City administrators have done their job. Well 7 was introduced and under construction to meet the needs of the City.
You obviously think the city bears no responsibility ever for anything! That’s ok. You can continue to point fingers, deny accountability and make excuses but what I know is that when I pay my water bill it’s made out to “The City of Saline” so as far as I’m concerned the buck ultimately stops there!
So has the rec center been included in reducing water usage? How about the 4 car wash businesses?
I would like to hear more about that point. Seems very valid . I assume they are clear to use as much as they wish while we are told to use less.
The rec center sent out emails asking members to take either brief showers or wait until they get home.
