He was born on Nov. 5, 1947, in Madison, the son of Charles and Matilda (Frey) Schepp. Michael was united in marriage to Diane on May 16, 1970, in Madison. He was a meticulous, talented cabinet maker for several local companies. He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, traveling and airplanes.

I am very sorry for the recent loss of your loved one, Michael George Schepp. I have a brief encouraging message I would like to share with you from God's Word, the Bible. The Bible can be a great source of both comfort & hope during this most difficult time in your lives. For an example, at Revelation 21:3-5 it assures us that the day is soon coming when our most loving Heavenly Father is going to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and that even pain & death will be no more. I hope after reading this it will be of some comfort to each one of you. If later you would like to learn more from the Bible about why we die or why does a loving God allow so much suffering & injustice, please feel free to go to the website: www.jw.org to find very satisfying answers.

Mike and I were in the same class at La Follette High School. I didn't know him well, but am really saddened by this news. I know his life was too short, and I send my sympathies and deepest condolences to his wonderful family. - Janet Warzyn

I'm so at a loss for words right now. I was so hoping for a miracle for Mike. My heart goes out to all Mike's family and friends, of which I consider myself. Shawn, Mary, Diane, Amy and family, please know that we are praying for your comfort and strength to carry on. Lean on Jesus. We'll miss seeing Mike at the family gatherings, his sweet smile and genuine disposition. Love to you all. The Andersons: Mike, Patty, Kyle, Cody and Lily

I grew up with Mike and can recall serving mass with him many times. Sadly, after we graduated from LaFollette Highschool I don't think our paths crossed again. I have fond memories of our times together and know that he will be missed. No one has better friends anytime in life than they did when they were young. Rest in peace, my friend.
