I am so sorry to find out that Dr. Schroeder passed away.  I looked up his number to recommend him to somebody and saw his obituary.  I am in shock.  He took out both of my sons wisdom teeth and also helped my husband.  He was one of the best.  He will be greatly missed!  My condolences to his family!

May the memories of Mark's selfless dedication to others be a beam of light to others and a comfort to those who love him.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Schroeder's family. I had the pleasure of meeting him 3 years ago to for wisdom teeth extractions and was actually about to call the office to set up another procedure. So sad to hear of his passing, but may he rest in the arms of the Lord.

I was in disbelieve when I learnt about him passing away. It is sad to lose an excellent professional and charming person. I just saw him twice and that was enough to trust him as a Dr. My husband has the same feeling. R.I.P (tears) :(

I was shocked to learn about Dr Shroeder's death. He was such a good doctor and very professional. I recommended him for a friend a few days ago not knowing he is late. What a great loss to his patients, family and Houston community. He will be greatly missed. May his soul rest in perfect peace. - Rachel his patient's mom.

I am so shocked to hear of Dr. Schroeder's passing.  He was handsome, efficient, caring, gentle man.  He was a talented surgeon.  He fixed a front tooth knocked out at 14, when I was 43.  I am so grateful to him - people don't even know I have a front tooth implant.  Perfection.  I was referring him and found out of his too soon passing.

Mark was a respected kind surgeon who took care of my daughters wisdom teeth. My heart goes out to his family and friend at this time of sorrow. he was such a great loss to Houston community. He will be missed and continue living in our thought and  heart of his loved ones.

Houston community has lost a great Dr, he will be missed but will be remembered in our heart and thought. My heart goes out to his family at this time of sorrow. May he rest in peace and live on  through the heart of his loved ones.My deepest sympathy to his entire family and staff.

Dear Schroeder Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mark.  He was a wonderful man and a good friend.  He lived a great life and   I think of him often.  May God bless you.  You are all in my prsyers.

Our family sends our love and condolences to Marks parents and children.
Mark is a very talented, bright and kind man.  We first got to know him as an oral surgeon.  He has taken care of all our children.  He and Andy coached many young girls sports against each other for years and had nothing but respect for him.  We have lost a great man but Heaven has gained one.

Dr. Schroeder removed my wisdom teeth many years ago.  My fear of ANYTHING dental related was through the roof - but, he was instrumental in restoring my faith in finding a great dentist and helping me overcome my fear.  Such a sad loss for the Houston community.  Praying for his family.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Schroeder family and his staff. May the wonderful memories you have help see you through this difficult time.

Our Deepest condolences for all the family, 
We are truly sorry for your Loss. He will be Missed.

I was extremely saddened to hear about the unexpected, sudden passing of Dr. Schroeder. I am one of his patients, he was my oral surgeon for over eight years, he performed several dental implants for me. I was always feeling safe and secure in his hands, I was never afraid to sit in his chair. The results of his work are just outstanding. I will forever remember his beautiful smile every time I look in the mirror at my own smile.

May God rest you in peace, Dr. Schroeder, you will be sorely missed.

I was stunned to hear of Mark's passing—and I am so sorry for your loss. I was not able to make it to Houston for the Memorial Service, but my thoughts and prayers have been with Lisa, the girls, and the entire Schroeder family.

So sorry that we have lost such a vibrant young member of the Houston dental community.  We can only take comfort in the knowledge that God, our Heavenly Father is in control of all things and is a loving, all knowing, and all powerful God.  Mark, rest peacefully in His Arms as you await a joyous reunion someday with your loved ones who are left behind.  You will be sorely missed.

May the good Lord wrap his loving arms around you and your family and help guide you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words cannot tell you the depth of my sorrow at the loss of Mark. He was a great friend and the memories I have shared over the years are many. He was a dear friend and one that will not be replaced.My deepest condolences to the family.

I only knew Dr. Schroeder as my oral surgeon, and he did a great job.  More importantly he was caring and genuinely concerned. I am so sad to hear of his passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, his family, for your great loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Mark and I were friends at MHS.

To the entire family, condolences from Karen & Byron Hood.

I met Mark when we were in 4th grade at Frostwood Elementary School.  He was one tough hombre, especially on the Grid Iron.  I didn't get to play with him on a peewee football team because he was much bigger than the average kid.  But I knew someday we would play on the same team, and at that time, he would be a formidable linebacker that not too many running backs could score on him.  Mike Luck was one those running backs.  The results by playing on the same team with Mark: 8th grade Memorial Jr. High Football Championship team, and again on the State Finalist football team at Memorial High School.    

His position of choice, linebacker.  And in practice, being a running back, it wasn't too much fun to be tackled by him.  So in our sr. year in high school, I so excited he became our full back. No more getting crushed by him in practice.  Kidding aside, it was a good move.  When we needed tough yards, he got it.  He always like to give pain to the opponent.  It's ironic that he became Dentist, not to mention being a loving dad to two beautiful daughters.  Deep down he was a gentle giant, a true sweetheart.

The last time I spoke with Mark, it was at our 20th Memorial High School reunion.  He looked great.  It's so hard to believe he is gone.  My 14 year old son said to me the other day, you build strong bonds with teammates you battle against in a physical sport, and it looks like you become great friends for a long time.  That's so true.  Even though I haven't seen Mark much over the years, but when we did, he always greeted me with open arms, not to tackle me but to give me a big hug of true friend, and I am honored that I got to know him.  

My heart weeps for him, and I will miss his laugh.  After being tackled so many times by Mark, as big as he was, he made me have courage to face my fears and to run as hard as I could to be tackled by him.  I knew if I could take his punishing wrath, I could do anything. Not just on the football field but in life. I thank him for that.  He will be missed.  May God bless you Mark, your family and friends in these time of sorrow.

Your friend,
Paul Morales

Dr. Schroeder was so skilled , kind, and friendly! He was a man of few words, but he was so nice and polite. I am glad I had the chance to be treated by him. My thought and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.

Dr. And Mrs. Schroeder, I was a colleague and friend of Mark's and have met you both on occasion in my office.  I was shocked and saddened by Mark's passing and can only offer you my most sincere condolences at this time of mutual sorrow.

Dear Leona and RJ. Don and I are so sad to hear of your loss. We love you and send our prayers for your family.

Please accept my deepest sympathy over Mark's passing.  Mark was my classmate from elementary school through high school graduation, and touched everyone that he came in contact with kindness.

He will be greatly missed by all his 1980 Memorial High School classmates..........

I met Mark at Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association. At the time he was coaching and I was an umpire. Mark loved coaching and watching his daughters perform. He was a true gentlemen both on and off the field. I had the utmost respect for Mark. Bill Crouch

We are very sad over the loss of Mark – so unexpected; Mark's passing has weighed heavily on my family and me.  We have two daughters the same ages as Sarah and Sydney, and we've spent countless hours sitting in the stands and cheering with Mark at volleyball, basketball, and softball games over the last decade.  Our hearts grieve for the Schroeder Family, and especially for Sarah and Sydney.

The Scofield Family

Dear Mr. And  Mrs. Schroeder,  I am so sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I grew up down the street from you guys on Boheme. I am sending you and the girls my deepest sympathy.

We are so sorry for your loss. I remember Mark from high school and what a great athlete he was. We were fortunate to be neighbors as adults and our children were able to become friends and he was able to share his love of sports with my daughter as a coach. He was taken way to young but we rejoice in the fact that he is In God's house. Special prayers of comfort and healing to his sweet daughters and the entire Schroeder family.
Love, The Coster Family

What a wonderful family to know growing up. We are very sad for your loss.

Leona and RJ, I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing.  Rachel and I are praying for God to provide the added strength for your family to cope with your loss.  

Randy Palmer

Dear Schroeder family,
I have known and worked with Mark for 20 years. I first met Mark when I started working with Jeff Osborne and continued referring to Mark all these years in my own practice.  
Mark was a great oral surgeon but when we talked I learned that he was even a greater husband and father! He always spoke of his family in ways only a loving father and husband would.
I will surely miss his expertise in taking care of my patients but mostly, I will miss our conversations about being a husband and fatherhood!
Matthew 25:21
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort you in this time of grief and mourning.

I am so sad to learn tonight that Mark has passed away.  Pat and I lost Wes when he was 23, and I know the sorrow that both of you and all your family are going through. There is no greater sorrow than losing a child. God has a plan for all of us, and I know that he will comfort you and all your loved ones.  The Schroeders were a big joyful part of our life when we lived in Houston. I love all of you.
