PORT HURON, MI — Carl Morris Schoenberg, 76, of Fort Gratiot, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

He was born November 9, 1945 in Port Huron to the late Morris and Henrietta Schoenberg. He married Sharon K. Wellman on September 14, 1967 in Pontiac, Michigan.

Carl was a 1963 graduate of Port Huron High School and received his journeyman’s card in tool & die design from Wirtz Manufacturing. He then continued his education and earned his bachelor’s degree in business from Baker College. Carl was employed as a manufacturing/quality engineer for most of his working career. In addition, he continued his love of learning by teaching at RESA, Macomb Community College, SC4 and Baker College.

Carl enjoyed many interesting hobbies throughout his life such as coaching at Port Huron Minor Hockey and Fort Gratiot Little League.
