Raymond J. Schreckenghost's Obituary
On April 15, 2026, Raymond J. Schreckenghost passed away in Gardnerville, Nevada. He is survived by his beloved wife of 75 years, Shirley; five children; 13 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
He was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 25, 1930. The family moved to Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, while he was still a child. As an adult, he drove commercial trucks for 20 years before relocating again, this time to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1969.
In Alaska, he worked at the Anchorage International Airport, eventually rising to the role of Supervisor of Building Maintenance. He retired in 1988 and moved once again, this time to Gardnerville, Nevada.
A man of many talents, his interests included woodworking, remodeling, and spending time with his extended family—especially his many grandchildren.
He lived a long and full life and will be missed by the many people who loved him dearly.
Rest in peace.
