Ronald Schutz Obituary

Ronald "Ron" C. Schutz, age 79, of Madison, Wisconsin, passed away on August 9, 2025, finding peace after a difficult struggle with Parkinson's Disease. He was surrounded by close friends, family, and under the care of the wonderful staff at Oak Park Place and Agrace Hospice.

He was born September 27, 1945, in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. He was preceded in death by parents Joseph and Hilda Schutz, and adopted child Andrew (Andrea) Schutz. Survived by sister Yvonne (Thomas) Foster; brother Larry and spouse JoEllen Schutz; son David Schutz and daughter-in-law Jennifer Taylor; daughter Sara, son-in-law Guy Kitchell, and grandson Ferris Wolf; partner Linda Hall and her two sons, Muir Mulholland and spouse Erin, and Aza Muzorewa; adopted daughters Annika Schutz, Deborah Schutz, and Elizabeth Lieberman; as well as many family members, close friends, and colleagues.

Ron enjoyed dancing, canoeing, camping, and traveling with family and friends, but most of all he enjoyed bringing people together. His passing leaves a deep void for those who loved him, yet the subtle wisdom, dry wit, and moments of youthful wonder he shared will linger in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A memorial service will be held on his birthday, Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., at Madison Friends Meetinghouse, 1704 Roberts Court, Madison, WI 53711. Snacks and drinks will be provided. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Ron's final resting place, where he was an early pioneer in its creation: The Farley Center Natural Path Sanctuary http://farleycenter.net/ or https://www.facebook.com/FarleyCntr/.
