David A. Schreiner

David "Dave" A. Schreiner, 58, Wausau, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, June 2, 2015. He was born May 21, 1957 in Wausau, the son of Andrew and Luella (Janke) Schreiner of Athens. On June 18, 1977, he married Janice Literski at Holy Family Catholic Church, Poniatowski. She survives. After high school, Dave became self-employed in the logging business for 15 years and later worked as an agent for Cellcom. He went on to follow his dream of building an excavating business called Schreiner Construction, LLC where he could live out his passion of helping people with their projects and spending time with his son who also works for the business. Dave enjoyed learning and thrived on creative projects that challenged him to think outside the box. Dave was a very kind, generous and caring individual who loved spending time with his family. He was always willing to help others out and lend an ear when needed. For these and many other reasons, he will be missed.
