Death Notices/obituaries SCHINAGL Franz Joseph Mark

Oct. 23, 1964 - Apr. 23, 2021

It is with sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Franz Schinagl, at the age of 56, after a brief illness with cancer. Leaving to mourn with fond and cherished memories are his loving parents Franz and Beatrice Schinagl; his beloved partner Rhonda Reddy and her children Ashley (Blair) and Kassie (Johnny); his pride and joy beloved son Carter Schinagl (Amanda); brother Scott Schinagl (Tina); sisters Lorraine Hodgson (Mark) and Linda Boland (Kevin). As well as nephews, Michael, Matthew, and David Hodgson and Jordan Boland as well as a wide circle of many friends. He will be missed by his fur companions Bunker and Fallon (Fi Fi). Franz was a well-known, dedicated, and hard-working businessman in the community. It was his pursuit of entrepreneurship that constitutes his life’s legacy, as owner/operator of Supreme Auto Sales for over 25 years alongside his best friend and brother, Scott. Franz was surrounded by employees who shared in his passion and commitment to exceptional customer service. In his spare time, he loved golfing, hunting, fishing, and vacationing in Largo, Florida. Franz shared a special bond with his son, Carter. They took time to nurture their relationship, and particularly loved to spend time together on the golf course. Franz was immensely proud of Carter’s accomplishments and strength of character, describing his son as an “impressive and strong man.” Franz will be missed more than words can express. He is a soul gone way too soon. His sudden passing leaves an unimaginably large void in our lives. Cremation has taken place.
