Douglas "Doug" Alan Schuldt

Douglas “Doug” Alan Schuldt, age 67, of Lawrence, NE passed away peacefully on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Grand Island Regional Hospital with his children at his bedside. Doug was born on December 6, 1957, in Sioux City, IA to Orville and Henrietta (Thompson) Schuldt. He grew up and attended school in South Sioux City, NE. He began his career with the Burlington Northern Railroad at the age of 18, and it would span over 42 years. Doug retired in 2017. During his career on the railroad, he made many lifelong friends over the years and gained the nickname “Digger”. On February 6, 1982, Doug was united in marriage to LeCinda “Cindy” Bisson, and to this union children Amanda and Adam were born. The couple later divorced. On April 23, 1994, he was united in marriage to Jan Zoet. Doug enjoyed visiting with family and friends, fishing in Minnesota, playing cards (especially Cribbage), picking his lucky numbers on Keno, hunting (pheasant, deer, and morel mushrooms), and riding his bicycle. When it was time to just kick back and relax, he could be found watching Gunsmoke, Bonanza, the Price is Right, or Nebraska football during the season, all while enjoying a cold bottle of Budweiser. Those left to cherish his memory include his children, Amanda (Nick) Swearingen of Sioux City, IA and Adam (Melissa) Schuldt of Grand Island, NE; stepchildren, Heather Bagshaw of Omaha, NE and Heidi Bakker of Sioux City, IA; grandchildren, Zachery, Isaac, and Noah Swearingen of Sioux City, IA and Jaxson and Jordan Schuldt of Grand Island, NE; step grandchildren, Britney Bagshaw and Brianna (Simon) Henning of Omaha, NE, and Jaydon, Hannah, Micah, and Elijah Suarez of Sioux City, IA; brother, Ron (Ginny) Schuldt of Littleton, CO and sister, Marcia (Mike) Harrington of Garrison, MN. Doug was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Jan; former spouse, Cindy; brothers, Les and Dave; and niece Amber.
