Allen Roy “Bucky” Schuerman, 89, of Dewitt, passed away in his home on Oct. 6, 2026. He was born to Lawrence and Adela (Klostermeier) Schuerman on May 16, 1937, at his home in DeWitt.
On May 20, 1956, he married the love of his life, Patty Jane Butterfield of Beatrice, and shared three sons.
Bucky was a hardworking man who was never afraid to roll up his sleeves. His strong work ethic was evident in his life. Farming was at the heart of who Bucky was. Over the years, alongside farming, he held a variety of jobs, including construction, welding, working at the window factory, and Petersen’s Vice Grip factory. He was well known throughout the community for his tree-cutting business, where his hard work, skill, and willingness to help others, earned him the respect of many.
Alongside his wife, Patty, he was the heart and soul of their family. His presence could fill a room, and there was rarely a quiet moment when Bucky was around. He always had a great story to tell, or a joke to share, that brought many smiles and lots of laughter. His absence will leave a space that cannot be filled, and he will be deeply missed.
Allen is survived by his sons, Bruce Schuerman and Byron (Georgia) Schuerman; six grandchildren, Adella (Tom) Roger, Amy (Sean) Schipporeit, Brad (Jenna) Schuerman, Janelle (Jesse) Vice, Lindsey (Sam) Xayaphonesongkham, and Josh Schuerman; 12 great-grandchildren; and sister, LaVae’ Schuerman.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Patty Schuerman; son, Boyd Schuerman; granddaughter, Jerrica Schuerman; parents, Lawrence and Adela Schuerman; siblings, Floyd Schuerman, Verla (Joe) Tyser, Howard Schuerman, and Donna (Dale) Rezney.
