He graduated from New Palestine High School in 2009, and attended Bethel College in Mishawaka, IN. He played soccer while studying at both schools.
He worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs in administration; however, his passion was for Indiana sports.

He is survived by his parents, Randy and Beth Schwier; siblings, Jackson, Tucker, Ezra, Daisy and Lilly; and grandmothers, Kay Clary of Indianapolis, and Delores Schwier of Fountaintown.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Robert Clary and Byron Schwier.
