Piano Guys co-founder jon schmidt’s daughter died on a hiking trip in Oregon
Jon Schmidt, the co-founder of the local singing group The Piano Guys, is in shock after his daughter, Annie, was found dead on a hiking trail in Oregon. In October, her body was found under a cliff with a rope hanging from it. Her body was found nearly a month later, but Jon Schmidt, who is also a member of the band, decided to post a video to YouTube to honor his daughter. He described her death with words and the people who helped him in the aftermath.
Annie Schmidt’s body was found on a trail in Oregon after she went missing for several weeks. Police say that she was found dead of blunt force head injuries. The Piano Guys co-founder told his fans on Facebook that he is “deeply sorry” for his daughter’s death and apologized for making a mistake that could have led to such tragedy.
The YouTube videos of The Piano Guys show the musicians playing in unusual settings. They perform in a desert, a 1,000-foot cliff, an ice cave, and at the Iguazu Falls. Originally, Schmidt’s goal was to create a video that would generate publicity for his store. It was an idea that has been fruitful.
Annie Schmidt was last seen on Oct. 16 by her roommate. She was hiking at the Tooth Rock Trailhead in Oregon when she disappeared. Her mother flew into town to attend a mother-daughter camping trip with her daughter. Her roommate had not seen Annie since Sunday. On Oct. 21, her car was found near the Bonneville Dam in the Columbia River Gorge. It looked as if it had been broken into, though it is not yet known what was stolen.
Annie Schmidt, the daughter of Piano Guys co-founder Jon Schmidt, died on a hiking trip in Oregon last month. After going for a solo hike through the Columbia Gorge, she was discovered in the Oregon Mountains. Jon Schmidt confirmed that the death was accidental. And while the investigation continues, the family’s thoughts are in mourning. The family and the entire company is struggling to cope with the loss of their beloved daughter.
The tragic news came to Jon Schmidt on Monday. Annie was supposed to go on a camping trip with her friend. When they stepped out of the airport, however, they noticed that Annie had not answered her cell phone. Despite the phone’s pinging signal, the search team found Annie’s car but could not find her. As a result, the family and co-founder Jon Schmidt were devastated to learn of the tragedy.
Schmidt’s German heritage
The first document showing Schmidt’s German heritage was an 1878 photo of Anna, who is holding her granddaughter Donna Hawes. Her parents, Johann and Anna Schmidt, were both German immigrants, and the photo was taken in Portland, Maine in about 1927. In addition to Schmidt’s family, many of the other local residents of Germanic heritage were also prominent in the city. Johann Schmidt was born in the colony of Brunnental, which was a part of the Russian empire, and his parents came from Dietel.
In the early 19th century, immigrants bearing the name Schmidt settled in Pennsylvania and New York. In 1920, New York had the largest Schmidt population. This included celebrated mathematicians, such as Erhard Schmidt, who was born in Estonia and made important contributions to modern mathematics. Another famous person bearing the name Schmidt was novelist Arno, who was born in Hamburg and became one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Schmidt’s German heritage is reflected in the name of the novelist whose works include the infamous ‘Crash’.
The name Schmidt is common throughout Germany and has at least one hundred thousand entries in German telephone directories. It is also common in the United States, with more than three percent of Schmidt bearers residing in the southern and eastern parts of the country. Though Schmidt is a common surname in Germany, it is not associated with any coat of arms. Usually, coats of arms are granted to those with uninterrupted male lines. This makes Schmidt the most common name in Germany.
In addition to the Schmidt brewery in San Francisco, Peter Schmidt Jr., who is the grandson of the original founders of the brewery, attended the event from Seattle. He grew up in the Schmidt home and also began his own business building boats. The family has locations in San Francisco, Seattle, and near Santiago, Chile. In addition to these, the Schmidt family operates several businesses. The Schmidt name is synonymous with quality, service, and unsurpassed banquet facilities.
A third source of information is the Schmidt FamilyTree DNA Project. This website describes how Schmidt’s DNA tests have helped researchers determine the paternal lines of the family. DNA analysis is an integral part of Schmidt genealogy. DNA test results are available for free at SmithConnections Northeastern FamilyTree DNA Group, as well as many databases and links to Schmidt genealogy. The Schmidt family tree DNA project was launched to establish a common DNA profile of the Schmidt family.
The Schmidt family moved to Portland in 1830. Johann Schmidt was the brother of Philip Schmidt, who died in 1865 in an accident involving a sewer. Philip’s death left his wife and six children. In response, the Schmidt family was advised by school officials to change their surname to Smith. The Schmidts eventually settled in the neighborhood of NE Grand Avenue, where they lived until their son was born on December 3, 1911.
Grief journey
A local music group, The Piano Guys, has posted a video of their new song. Jon Schmidt lost his daughter, Annie, last year while on a hike in Oregon. It took nearly a month to find her body in the heavy brush, just 200 feet from a cliff. Though the Schmidts’ daughter was well-known to the world, many didn’t know that they were grieving the loss of a child. But as he shares in his video, he is able to express his feelings and the pain of loss in a powerful way.
Although Jon didn’t initially aim to be a musician, he loved playing music. He even produced a concert on his own, and around 1,000 people came to hear him. Interestingly, this concert was not a fundraiser for a charity. Jon and his wife, Michelle, had been rereading a passage of scripture to cope with their situation. This passage promises that God will make you much more than you can ever imagine. Jon and his wife have often referred to this scripture when life has become difficult.
Jon Schmidt was born to German Immigrant parents. He received a classical education that shaped his natural talent. At the age of 11, Jon began composing and teaching music. He also began his solo career at an early age. Jon Schmidt was already composing at an early age, when most people are getting their driver’s license. His success as a solo artist led him to record four albums that reached the number one spot on the classical music charts.
