Schneider’s ‘Unimaginable Sorrow’
Schneider later took to Facebook once again to open up about the grief that he is feeling right now.
“This is a time of unimaginable sorrow for me,” he wrote. “Grief is much too small a word. I’ve heard [it] said that ‘with great love comes great sorrow.’ I had no idea what that meant until now. Alicia was the fuel that ran my biggest dreams. The inspiration behind every creative thought. The very fabric of my soul. The glue that held me together. I miss her more than any words could possibly describe.”
“Pain is too small a word. Grief is too small a word. Love itself is too small a word,” he continued, going on to ask fans and friends to “pray for the strength of myself and my beautiful family to endure these most trying of times.”
“Should you see me out there somewhere on the stage or in line at a coffee shop please don’t ask me how I am,” he stated. “The answer is ‘broken’ and it’s currently too difficult for me fathom and certainly to painful to verbalize.”
“Bare with me down this rutted and treacherous road I never dreamed I’d have to travel. Be patient with my unimaginable process,” Schneider concluded. “Thank you Lord for sharing the gift of Alicia with me. I‘ll never be the same and I know that, somehow, we are still and will always be the ‘Team To Beat.'”

Allain ‘Was A Force’
