Sean Robert Schultz
Mr. Schultz, age 40, of Charlotte, president and founder of Youth Harbor, collapsed and died suddenly from a massive heart attack on Monday, September 14, 2009, while coaching his son's little league team.
He was born June 24, 1969, in Wayne, Michigan, to Bob and Jane Schultz. He graduated from South Lyon High School in 1987. Sean was the youngest of three sons.
Sean was an entrepreneur and moved to Atlanta with his best friend Phillip Ramos, III, to find their fortunes. Not long after, they moved to Charlotte to start their own successful carpet cleaning business.
In 1999, Sean married Kaaren Mires in a little chapel on Lake Wylie, South Carolina, where they owned and operated The BirdHouse Co. A year later they welcomed their son Benjamin into their lives and their world was complete.
Sean was the past president of the Charlotte Jaycees, past president of the Queen City Jaycees, a lifetime member in the NCJC Cardinal Corps, and a lifetime member of the USJCI Senate. He was also a member of the York Rite and Charles M. Setzer Lodge #693 and the Oasis Shrine. Sean was the founder of a local children's charity, Youth Harbor. He was a proud and dedicated coach for many years with Myers Park Trinity Little League. Sean Schultz was the best husband, father, brother, friend, son, coach, outdoorsman, and fisherman a person would ever hope to have the chance of knowing in their lifetime! He was truly selfless and cared more about other people than himself. He was our hero...
Sean is survived by his wife, Kaaren and his young son Ben; his mother and father, Jane and Bob Schultz; his brother, Steven, his wife Heather, and their daughter Liberty; his brother, Scott, his wife Becky, and their son Jackson; his nephew Justin, and his nieces Ashlee and Brittany. Other family and relatives and many, many friends further survive him.
