Garnell Schack Obituary (1970 - 2026)

Garnell Lee Schack, born March 12, 1970, in Lincoln, Nebraska, was a beacon of light in an often confusing world of technology. He was a computer wizard who dedicated his life to bringing people closer through the power of technology. In the words of Steve Jobs, 'Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.' Garnell was a testament to this belief. In his lifetime, Garnell never believed in barriers. He was a determined, passionate, and hardworking individual who saw every challenge as an opportunity. As a computer tech, he was always eager to solve the most complex problems, and he did so with a smile. His love for his work was evident in the joy he derived from it, a joy he shared generously with everyone around him. His dedication to his craft set him apart and he was a beloved figure in the community. Despite passing on February 22, 2026, Garnell's spirit lives on through his mother, Doris Schack, sister Janeen Schack, his many friends, and the countless lives he touched through his work. He was preceded in death by his father, Karis Schack. His legacy is one of innovation, resilience, and kindness - a testament to the man he was. As we remember Garnell, let us not only mourn his loss but celebrate his life and the joy he brought to us all. As Albert Einstein once said, 'The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.'
