John Schuette Obituary
69, of Massillon, went home to be with the Lord, on June 13, 2020 after a brief battle with cancer. He was born on October 28, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois, to the late John and Helen (Sullivan) Schuette. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and saw the end of the Cold War. John worked at the Stark County District Library as the supervisor of maintenance and retired after 10 years of service. He was also a long time member of Massillon Baptist Temple.
John will be deeply missed by his wife Blanche (Watkins) Schuette; step-children Brian Solinger, Christine (Greg) Howell and Tracy (Miguel) Riccio; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
The family will have a private graveside service at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery where full military honors will be rendered. The family would also like to give special thanks to Aultman Compassionate Care for their kind hearts and helping hands during John's stay. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Massillon Baptist College, 1219 Overlook Ave SW, Massillon, OH 44647.

John and I had many conversations about the facilities of SCDL. He was practical, intelligent, and pragmatic. I appreciated his perspective and advice. John was a really good man.

My husband and I worked with John for several years at the Stark County District Library. He was a fabulous co-worker and wonderful man -- never hesitating to help me when I needed something. I feel honored to have spent time with him. So sorry for your loss.
