Kevin Schmitt

January 24, 2023

Kevin Schmitt, age 68 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 after a brief and valiant battle with cancer. Kevin grew up in Paramus, NJ and graduated from Paramus High School with the class of 1973. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from William Paterson College. He began his professional career in the accounting department at St. Mary Hospital in Hoboken, and had worked at several area companies including Progresso Foods and Dantech. He retired in 2019 as the CFO of Zeiser, Inc. in
W. Caldwell.

Kevin had been a loyal Yankees and Giants fan since early childhood and watched countless games on TV with his dad throughout the years. He was an avid golfer and was considering moving to South Carolina in his retirement so he could golf year-round. He also enjoyed going hiking and taking long walks around his neighborhood in Wayne, and he took great care to eat a healthy diet. When he baked his zucchini bread, or banana bread, or other tasty treats, he used only the most wholesome ingredients. He seemingly made all the right choices at leading a healthy life.

He was a kind soul and will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

Kevin is survived by his sister, Donna Schmitt of Wayne, and several cousins. He was predeceased by both of his parents; Shirley and Frank Schmitt.

Friends may visit with the family at the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023 from 2-5 PM. A funeral service will be held at 5 PM on Saturday, immediately following the visiting hours.
