Jerome Benedict Schoen was born July 29, 1960 to Jerome Joseph and Corinne (Leith) Schoen in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.  He was baptized and confirmed at St. Cornelia’s Episcopal Church on the Lower Sioux.  Jerome attended Morton High School and later took classes to acquire his CDL in Rosemount, MN.  He loved being a truck driver and living life on the road.  To pass the time he enjoyed listening to music, his favorites included classic country and Elvis. On January 8, 2003 he was united in marriage to Olivia Resendez in Las Vegas.  When he wasn’t trucking, you could often find him fishing or out on the golf course.  He enjoyed trips to Menards and playing slots at the casino.  Jerome loved spending time with his family at barbeques and gatherings.  He especially cherished his time with his grandchildren.  Jerome was a very generous man and would do anything for anyone.  The family would like to extend a special thank you to CentraCare-Redwood Area Hospice and nurse Karley.
