Herbert Schnyder, Gretna, LA – Community Honors Beloved Friend

Herbert Schnyder, fondly known as "Herby Derby," passed away recently in a tragic accident. At 57 years old, Herbert, ever the adventurer, fell from a tree—an unexpected and heart-wrenching event that has left those who knew him deeply saddened. Herbert was known for his vibrant personality and unrelenting spirit. No task was too big for him, and he was always ready to lend a hand to friends and loved ones, often without asking for anything in return.

Despite his age, Herbert’s energy and hustle were unmatched. Whether it was climbing trees, riding bikes, or helping out a friend, he approached life with a tireless enthusiasm. Those who knew him well knew that trying to tell Herbert what he couldn’t do was nearly impossible—he lived life on his own terms, always moving forward with determination and kindness.

Jenna August, a close friend of Herbert who met him just over a year ago, has organized a fundraiser in his honor. Despite her own challenges as a single mother, Jenna is leading an effort to raise money to celebrate the life of her dear friend. The fundraiser, titled "Celebrate the Life of Herby Derby," seeks to provide support to his loved ones as they remember and honor his memory.

Herbert’s passing leaves a void that his friends and community are already feeling, but they are determined to cherish the memories they shared with him. His legacy of selflessness, hard work, and friendship will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

We extend our deepest condolences to Herbert Schnyder’s friends and family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
