Maurice Christopher Schaechterle

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Maurice

Christopher Schaechterle who left us too soon on November 3rd 2025, at the age of 19.

Maurice, affectionately known as "Mo," or “Mojo”, was born in Kemmerer Wyoming on April 25

2006,and raised in Wyoming. While he later moved with his family to Las Vegas, NV, where he

graduated from Delta Academy, his heart often remained in Wyoming with his beloved great-

grandparents, who played a central role in shaping his life. Maurice was the funniest boy with a

heart of gold, whose easy laugh and quick wit could light up the darkest room. Maurice loved to

rap, and he was very good and funny at it, often freestyling rhymes that left his listeners

laughing and impressed. Though he faced his own share of troubles and challenges, his spirit

was unbreakable. Anyone who met or knew Maurice always had one thing to say about him: he

was caring. He cared so much for his siblings. He loved his brother and sister so much, he

would do anything for them—whether it was cheering them up with a joke or standing up for

them when needed. Maurice was also very smart, he loved to take apart anything and

everything just to figure out how it worked, and then put it back together again. He loved driving

his car, often reminiscing about his trips from Vegas to Wyoming. Maurice was serving up smiles

and food at Taco Time in Kemmerer, Wyoming, and later at Wendy’s in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Where there was Maurice, there was often his cousins London and Taylor who were

inseparable, and if they were together, you could be sure they were always up to something—

usually involving laughter, mischief, and unforgettable adventures. Maurice found his truest joy

in the great outdoors of Wyoming. He was happiest fishing, hunting, camping and riding his dirt

bike or atv. He was greeted at the gates of Heaven by his grandma Angela Reese, his father

Maurice Oliver Watts 3rd, and his great grandfather Gene Schaechterle. Maurice leaves behind

his loving Mom Sasha Niau and partner ( Demetrius) Las Vegas nv. Step dad Kimo Niau of

Overton nv., Great grandmother Sylvia Schaechterle, Diamondville Wyo., Sister and Brother

Arianna and Zayvn Niau, Uncle Mat Thompson (Kaylena), Aunt Tiffany Trembath (Dalton), Aunt

Nicole Peterson (Kim), Uncle Cory Schaechterle (Kathy), Uncle Dan Schaechterle (Michelle)

and numerous other aunts uncles and cousins. He taught us that a good life isn't measured by

its length, but by the depth of love we give and receive. While the loss is immeasurable, his

kindness, his humor, his brilliance, and his smile will live on in our memories forever.
