Filmmaker and music producer Alicia Allain Schneider was described as "a proud mom and smile to her husband" in the moving obituary. She lived in Holden and was a product of Brusly, Louisiana.

The grieving husband shared that it's impossible to describe losing her. "I miss her more than any words could possibly describe," he wrote. "Pain is too small a word. Grief is too small a word. Love itself is too small a word."

"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 said. "The answer is 'broken' and it’s currently too difficult for me (to) fathom and certainly to painful to verbalize," he added.

John then went on to thank people for all their tireless support to him in this difficult time, adding that he encourages people to help by sharing memories of his wife. "Thank you for your thoughts, concerns and prayers," he said. "Continue to post the glorious photos you captured of my Smile and I changing our world and sometimes yours, one kiss at a time because those images help."

"Continue to pray for the strength of myself and my beautiful family to endure these most trying of times," he wrote. "She loved you all and spoke of how dedicated and loyal you have been all these years and I love you right along with her," he said. "Bare with me down this rutted and treacherous road I never dreamed I’d have to travel. Be patient with my unimaginable process."

"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," he concluded his moving tribute to his wife and his fans.
