(From the Findlay Police Department)

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of one of our own, Officer John Schimmoeller, who dedicated 29 years of distinguished service to our department and the Findlay community. His dedication, strength, and compassion made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Officer Schimmoeller was a respected member of our department – a dedicated public servant, a trusted colleague, and a steady presence throughout our ranks. His contributions over nearly three decades reflect a deep commitment to duty, integrity, and the well-being of others. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

During this time of mourning, our thoughts are with Officer Schimmoeller’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. We respectfully ask the community to join us in honoring his memory and keeping those closest to him in your thoughts.

We are reminded that behind the badge are individuals who carry the weight of this work every day. As we honor Officer Schimmoeller’s life and legacy, we also recommit ourselves to looking after one another and ensuring that every member of our department knows they are never alone.

Officer Schimmoeller, thank you for your service. You will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Brother. We’ll take it from here.
