Steven Schenewerk, who is best known for his stunning portrayal as Macbeth in the Shakespearean classic of the same name, tragically died on September 28 in a terrible auto accident. He died at age 20.
Steven was college student who was still working on his general classes when his life was cut short. While his focus was still undecided at the time of his death it was largely though that he would have attempted to get make a career in sales. Steven’s accomplishments were rather limited to his relaxed attitude regarding his future. He was known to just relax and live day to day with little regrets.
Steven was described as clever, witty and always having a remark on any topic.
Steven has survived by his parents, Jeana and Brain Callis, and his brother, Joshua. While the date for the wake has not been set yet his family asks that you do not send flowers as Steven has stated in the past that he did not want a “grand funeral” and his family wants to respect his wishes.

Steven,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice obituary. I enjoyed reading your lead, it was very unusual and witty. I also liked your closing paragraph, it is nice to add the personal touch regarding your last wishes.
Wasn't it funny in writing these that we actually had to think about how we'd like our loved ones to mourn. Hard to think about when you're 20 right? Was MacBeth a high school thing, a community thing, or bigger? I'm curious now.
ReplyDeleteSteven,
ReplyDeleteYour obituary made me smile and giggle. Maybe not the appropriate response, but I can tell you had fun with it and your personality comes through. Now that I re-read mine, it feel stiff as I had trouble with this. I have suffered a lot of loss in life, literally, and this felt like a morbid assignment. So was refreshing to read yours, as it felt like a true celebration of a life.
I love your opening paragraph. I read obituaries regularly (yes, I am getting old & horribly morbid), and that first sentence made me want to read on.
ReplyDeleteThis one was hard for me because I hate writing about myself
