It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Blaine (Shui) George Schuweiler, who left us peacefully after a short but courageous battle with cancer on April 25, 2025. Blaine was born on June 22, 1951, the second of five children to Vic and Muriel Schuweiler.

On July 31, 1976, Blaine married the love of his life, Jo Ann. Together, they built a beautiful family and shared countless memories. Blaine was a devoted father to his daughter Krista, with whom he shared a special bond. He was a proud grandfather to Adison, born in 2001, and Ava, born in 2008. Blaine cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, always beaming with pride.
Professionally, Blaine worked at the credit union in the 1980s before joining Assiniboia Agencies, where he remained until his retirement in 2008.

An avid golfer, Blaine celebrated his first hole-in-one in 2023, followed by a second just two weeks later. He and Jo Ann enjoyed traveling the world, embarking on a river cruise, and touring Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Scotland. Their adventures also included family trips to the Bahamas and Disney, creating lasting memories with Krista, her husband Shane, and their children. Blaine and Jo Ann spent many happy times in Arizona, where they welcomed family visits and created wonderful memories together. Blaine always made sure everyone had a great time during their stays.
