Lantana, Texas - Darren Kevin Schultz, 51, of Lantana, Texas, passed away Wednesday, November 18, 2020, after succumbing to injuries sustained in a car accident.
Darren was a 1988 graduate of Trinity High School in Euless, TX. He was highly recruited by college football programs across the country, as a blue chip quarterback. Family was always a priority with Darren, and he elected to stay close to family and accept a full scholarship to Texas Christian University.
After graduating from TCU in 1993, with a B.S. in Criminal Justice, Darren started a career in juvenile corrections, but quickly moved into the commercial landscape business, where he formed long-term relationships with clients and made ever-lasting friends. Darren was well-known throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area for his knowledge of the business and serving his customers with attention to detail.
Darren was a loyal friend, always available to help a friend in need; He was a committed father, sacrificing in so many ways for his daughters; He was dedicated to his family, calling siblings and parents almost daily, sometimes multiple times per day. Darren loved life and loved people. He treated his daughters' friends as his own and became known as the fun, favorite dad.
Darren is preceded in death by his twin brother Aaron Keith Schultz, and Darren is survived by his beautiful "princess" and athletic daughter McKenzie Schultz, stepdaughter Kiersten Jensen (husband Jeff Jensen) and children McKinley, Jaxen, and Joshua Wells, stepdaughter Madison Burks and husband Brandon Burks, stepdaughter Megan James, as well as his loving mother and father, Barbara and Larry Schultz, his sister and her husband, Shannon and Carl Stidston, his brother, wife and child, Eric, Jana, and Parker Schultz, and nephew Hayden Schultz.
Services will be held at Knotting Hill Place, 2621 W Eldorado Pkwy, Little Elm, TX 75068, on Monday, November 23, 2020, at 2 p.m. A reception will immediately follow the memorial services at the same venue.

Darren was an individual who prided himself on being the best on whatever he touched. My condolences go out to his friends, family, and whomever had the honor have lasting memories with Darren. For me, my first memory I have to share was in summer track in 1984-1985. I graduated with his brother Eric; a great quarterback himself. After I knew who he was (the pressure was on), I felt the need to show him what I can do. Why? Because is athletic dominates had already become known, and I did not want to be embarrassed. He was 13 and I was 15, and from that moment a friendship started. Times separates they who know of or had the pleasure of knowing, but memories last for a life time. That legacy of knowing Darren picked at up at TCU. As I am graduating from TCU, Darren is walking through the door. I lettered in Track, and he lettered in Football. Here is to all the Alumni's form TCU and Trinity High School. Keep your memories of Darren by your side, and pray for his family that better times are ahead. As Darren was always a winner, and he would he touch to be winners. Stand above as he watches below and carry that esteemed legacy close. I will miss you Darren.

Darren was one of the best athletes I have ever seen. He had the ability to make physical tasks like passing, running, and playing look easy. He was a very good man. My condolences to his entire family.

We are thankful our daughter, Jordan, met McKenzie, through volleyball, that they formed a lasting friendship, and that we got to know Darren. He was a great dad, genuinely caring and enjoyable. Our prayers are with your family!
