Wallace Abrego Schodts Sr.

Wallace proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in Japan in 1964. After his military service, he worked as an Aerospace Engineer and retired after 50 years in the aerospace industry.

He was also the band leader of La Fuerza and Los Cruizers— a gifted bass player who wrote, composed, and recorded many albums. Music was his heartbeat. He was also a proud Dallas Cowboys fan and enjoyed watching them play every season.

He is survived by his children: Wallace Jr., Louanda, and Yvonne;

ten grandchildren: Michael, Stephanie, Rayna, Cierra, Miranda, Jazmine, Maggi, Jennifer, Alexxis, and Xavier; and fifteen great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his son, Michael “Mikey” Schodts, and his parents, Miguel and Maria Schodts.

Wallace will be remembered for his love of music and the heart he had for many.

A Rosary will start at 9:30 AM with a Mass at 10:00 AM at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Marathon,TX. The committal will follow at Marathon Texas Cemetery.
