It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of JR Schleuger, a beloved husband, father, and respected member of the trucking community, who passed away peacefully early this morning after a courageous battle with cancer. JR was 41 years old and is survived by his wife, Chelcee, their young daughters, and an extended family who will forever hold him in their hearts.
JR Schleuger was known for his incredible strength, both on and off the road. As a devoted husband and father, he cherished his family above all else, and his love for them was evident in everything he did. Despite facing an aggressive and challenging battle with cancer, JR continued to show resilience and courage, inspiring those around him with his unwavering determination and positive outlook. His family, friends, and the community watched in awe as he fought with grace, never letting his illness define him.
Beyond his personal life, JR was a valued member of the trucking community, where his contributions, work ethic, and larger-than-life personality earned him the respect and admiration of everyone who knew him. Whether through his role at Lifetime Nut Covers or through his relationships with fellow drivers, JR built lasting connections and became a fixture in the tight-knit world of trucking. He was the kind of person who could light up a room with his infectious energy, and his heart for others made him a friend to all.
His passing leaves a significant void, not only in his family’s lives but in the hearts of his colleagues, friends, and all who had the privilege of working with him. The trucking industry, which has always been a community bound by shared experience, will undoubtedly feel his absence, but it will also remember him for the legacy of kindness, generosity, and strength he left behind.
As we remember JR, we extend our deepest condolences to Chelcee, their daughters, and all of his family and friends. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. While JR may no longer be with us, his memory, his spirit, and the impact he made on all of us will live on forever.
Rest in peace, JR Schleuger. Your presence, your heart, and your contributions will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
