Today we honor Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Evan Fredrick Schneider, who made the ultimate sacrifice on August 26, 2008, when his patrol car was hit head-on by a drunk driver near Columbia Falls.
Trooper Schneider lived a life of selfless service, joining the Marines and then later the Montana Highway Patrol, which he served for over 4 years.
Trooper Schneider embodied what it means to be a Montana Highway Patrol Trooper. He was a loving husband, a dedicated family man, a trusted coworker, and someone whom the community admired.
Trooper Schneider was survived by his wife Carrie, his brother Jim, and his parents Gordon Schneider and Becky Sturdevant.
May Trooper Schneider’s memory forever be a blessing.
