Bill Van Schuyver passed away on Thursday, June 10, 2021 at his home in
Omaha, Nebraska. Bill was born on June 26, 1961 to Aud and Betty (Mason)
Van Schuyver in Perryton, Texas.
Bill grew up in Plainville, Kansas where he attended Plainville High
School and graduated with the class of 1979. He furthered his education
at Fort Hays State and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business
Administration with the class of 1983. He was a shining example of what
hard work and perseverance can do. Bill started as a part-timer at Pizza
Hut and stayed with the company for 30 years climbing the ranks. This
humble man went from delivering pizzas in an apron at the local Pizza
Hut to making executive decisions within the company in an office in
Chicago. His attitude toward his employees, fellow colleagues, friends,
and family was a testament to his character. He respected everyone, he
showed up for his family no matter what or when, and he was a friend to
all. Bill was gifted with a beautiful voice and loved to sing in the
choir at the Nazarene Church or for his friends’ weddings and even some
funerals. He also loved sports - especially Nebraska Husker football.
Bill will be remembered for his love for God, his family, and
friends. May we be reminded each day to treat those around us with grace
and a giving heart to honor the legacy of a man who did nothing but
give, love, and cherish each day we are given.
He is survived by his siblings, Dinah Van Schuyver and Dave (Mary)
Van Schuyver of Plainville; nieces and nephews, Mike (Adriene) Helker,
Rachel (Mark) Hackman, Morgan Van Schuyver, Amanda (Herb) Newman, Ryan
Van Schuyver, Todd Van Schuyver, Carrie Van Schuyver; and many
great-nieces and nephews and great-great nieces and nephews.
Bill is preceded in death by his parents, Aud and Betty Van Schuyver.
