10 Aug 2024Tammy, I’m so sorry and heart broken. Micah was a top-notch Marine and god-loving person. Now I understand your passage of Micah is “gone”, not just an overnight but rest of your life. You will be in great grieving until he welcomes you (his mother) to heaven with the Lord. I pray for you, Steele, and Brecken.
Mother of SSGT MICAH SCHNAYERSON
10 Aug 2024Thank you, Janet! I am so very thankful that you and Tom came to Micah’s boot camp graduation! You both had a very special relationship with Micah! I know Tom is with my baby boy in heaven! Tom probably welcomed him in heaven and said to him…. “Welcome lad Micah”!

24 Aug 2024Schnayerson, you were a pivotal point in my Marine Corps career… coming from a volatile position to an NCO who led Marines with compassion and understanding of their trials was honestly crazy. You were a very motivated and hard charged Marine and I loved you for that. Amongst you being so motivated, I was very surprised at your will to learn things in the construction shop from me. You had let your rank go to learn from a junior Marine who had previous life experience. That… and specifically that… showed me you were willing to learn from someone who may not be your rank but has more knowledge about things than you do, which is few and far between in the Marine Corps. I will forever love you to death which has unfortunately come to you before we all foresaw yet… you’re forever in my dreams watching rain pour down on the motor pool… I love you brother and i’ll always see you in the raindrops
