AJ (Albert James) Schut, age 54, of Middleville, passed away at his home on January 19, 2026, after a long battle with cancer, surrounded by his wife and children.

AJ was preceded in death by his father, James Schut; stepfather, Robert Johnson; grandparents, Albert and Geraldine Swiger. He is survived by his wife, Amy Schut; his children: Brett Schut, Kendall (Blake), Hickman, David (Kaylee) Swainston, Alexandria (Chad) Swainston; grandchildren: Ava, Harvey, Jackson, Emaree, Alice, Claire, Liam, Grace, Brantley. He is also survived by his mother Pamela Johnson.

AJ was a devoted husband and father who cherished time spent with his family. He loved camping, fishing, hunting, and going to the races. AJ was a hardworking man who created Skyline Gutter Systems in 2004. His dedication and integrity, and strong work ethic earned him several friendships that he held very dear. His wife, Amy, will be continuing his legacy by carrying on the business.

More recently, AJ joined a men's group where he strengthened his relationship with his Heavenly father and formed meaningful connections with the men in his group. These friendships brought him great comfort and fulfillment.
