John Charles Schubert

John Charles Schubert, of Willis, Texas, cherished husband and father, departed for his heavenly home on January 5, 2019, shortly before his 85th birthday. John’s family invites you to join them in a service to honor his life on Thursday, January 10, 2019, at 1:00pm at Conroe Bible Church in Conroe, Texas. John was born February 4, 1934, in Houston, Texas. He was the oldest of 5 children born to Opal and John Henry Schubert. When his parent’s early death left John and his siblings to forge a life for themselves, John quickly became the “patriarch” of the Schubert clan, and remained so until his own recent departure. John made his living as a skilled carpenter, whose handiwork can be seen from Galveston to Willis. He graduated with a degree in history from the University of Houston, played baseball and golf, dabbled in the stock market and car sales in retirement, and was an avid outdoorsman. John and his brothers and their children (and some treasured friends) spent many an hour in pursuit of their passion for hunting. Ever an optimist, John loved life, his children and family, and most of all his wife, Mary. He and Mary often jokingly said that it took both of them to make one person, but even a quick glimpse of their life together made it clear how devoted they were to each other. John’s love for Mary was only surpassed by his love for God and Church. John had been called to preach the gospel as a young adult and served in many church pulpits. He remained active in ministry all his life, never tiring of studying The Word and sharing the scriptures through both preaching and teaching. John led the Senior Sunday School Class of Conroe Bible Church for 38 years. John was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Edward Schubert. He is survived by his faithful and loving wife, Mary; his brother Robert Schubert and wife Myra; his sister Elaine Becker and husband Don; his sister Vera Clark; and his sister-in-law Joyce Schubert, wife of Edward. John’s children survive him as well. They are daughter Shann Schubert and husband Darrah Dunn; daughter Rhonda Arquette and husband Dale; and son Wesley Schubert and wife Stephanie. John’s 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews, are all a reflection of John’s legacy of love and service. John lived his life as a demonstration of his faith and commitment to God’s grace. His family will miss him and his clearly articulated John Schubert mannerisms and opinions, but know that he has been welcomed by a host of angels rejoicing in his homecoming. Visitation with the family will be Wednesday, January 9, 2019, from 6-8 pm at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home in Willis, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made in John’s honor to Conroe Bible Church of Conroe, Texas. You are invited to leave a written condolence on our website at www.shmfh.com.
