John Michael "Yeti" Schriever
1972 - 2020

It is with profound sadness that the family of Lieutenant Colonel John Michael "Yeti" Schriever announce that he passed away on December 17, 2020, doing what he loved, flying. He was born on September 7, 1972 in Columbus, Ohio to John "George" and Barbara Schriever. After graduating from Abilene Cooper HS, Mike attended Texas A&M University. From there, he became a proud alumnus of the Air Force Academy.

Mike's career in the Air Force started with pilot training at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX. From there, he went to Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ, and flew A-10s. He was stationed to Osan AFB, Korea, before returning to Davis-Monthan AFB. Mike was transferred to Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, TX, as a Flight Instructor for the T-38s. It was also where he met Rebecca "Becca" McBride. In 2004, he transitioned to the Air Force Reserves and joined the A-10s in 303d Squadron, at Whiteman AFB, Knob Noster, MO. He received many military honors and was stationed all over the world, including many tours in Afghanistan. On July 23, 2010, Mike and Rebecca "Becca" McBride were married in Kansas City, KS. In 2014 he was also hired as a commercial airline pilot for Delta Airlines.

Mike will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Rebecca "Becca" Schriever; children: Alex, Julie, and Jake; mother, Barbara Schriever; brother, Doug and wife, Kelly; niece and nephew, Becky and Luke; and uncles, aunts, cousins, and extended family.

He was preceded by his father, John "George" Schriever; grandparents, Andrew and Daisy Elizabeth "Bette" Koy; and grandparents: John Frederick and Rebecca Schriever. Mike was well known for his loud and boisterous personality, loyalty, quick wit, generosity, patriotism, and epic story telling. His charisma was magnetic and made him seem larger than life. He made lifelong friendships with people from all walks of life. He loved being around people and left his mark on every single person who met him.

A man of many talents and interests, Mike loved his Dallas Cowboys, Aggies, rock and roll, movies, airplanes, dirt bikes, BBQ, welding, singing and entertaining others, travel, music, wakeboarding, mountain bikes, guitars, video games, and all things technology, just to name a few.

Mike packed a lot of living in 48 years. The best parts of him will always remain within the good memories and love by his family and friends.

A Celebration of Mike's Life will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2021, at 2:00p p.m., at the Cresson Volunteer Fire Department, 111 Concorde Circle, Cresson, Texas.
