On April 6, 2015, Schneider had lost his acting mentor and decades-long friend, James Best, to pneumonia. Prior to Best's death, Schneider released a statement: "I laughed and learned more from Jimmie in one hour, than from anyone else in a whole year. Give Uncle Jesse my love when you see him dear friend," he also added, "(Best) would say, ‘sure thing, which eye?’ I’m forever thankful to have cut my teeth in the company of such a fine man."
