Mark Daniel Schnell, 51, of Rochester passed away peacefully of natural causes on November 28, 2018 at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus.
Mark was born on August 17, 1967 in Rochester to Daniel and Diane Schnell. He graduated from Mayo High School in 1985. He attended University of Wisconsin Steven’s Point for two years.

Offering my condolence to the family and friends of Mark Schnell. No doubt Mark will be sadly missed yet fondly remembered.
As you cherish the many memories, reflect on the time when sickness, death & sorrow will be conditions of the past! (Revelation 21:3,4; 1Corinthians 15: 26) This is what our loving God Jehovah has promised & Jesus Christ himself guaranteed the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19)
May God’s word & the prayers of others provide you comfort at this time & each day to come, as we await the fulfillment of his promises!
Mark,
I sit here today still in total disbelief of your passing. From our days at Kellogg and then graduating at Mayo (Class of 85'), thank you for bringing so much laughter into every day life. You made friends with so many people because you simply loved life. I found it fitting that you had a camp site at Jellystone in Warrens, WI. "The happiest place on earth". That was you. Thank you for your high school friendship. It was great to circle back around when our son's played football together at Century for a couple years. May you forever Rest in Peace Mark and thank you for being you. God Bless you and your family. Peace my friend!
My condolences to the Schnell family.
It's been a long time since seeing Mark. His impression will be everlasting.
God Bless
