Arthur R. Schulenburg, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully at his residence in New Baltimore, MI, on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the age of 81, after a prolonged illness. Arthur was born on June 28, 1944, in South Haven, Michigan, to his late parents Arthur W. and Mignonne (VanAmber) Schulenburg.

Arthur is survived by his devoted wife of 52 wonderful years, Christine A. (Hayes) Schulenburg, his children Corey Landon and Kimberly, as well as cherished grandchildren Rachel and Emily. He was predeceased by his son, Benjamin Schulenburg, and grandson, Bryan Landon. Dear brother-in-law to Sr. Linda Hayes, John (Priscilla), and Stephen Hayes, Arthur was predeceased by his brother Arthur W. Schulenburg and in-laws Richard (Katherine), Denis, and Jane Hayes. He leaves behind a legacy through his many nieces, nephews, and numerous friends who were touched by his warmth and kindness.

A proud graduate of Western Michigan College, Arthur embraced a fulfilling career as an editor and served his country honorably as a member of the United States Army. In his personal life, he was deeply involved with the Life in Christ Fellowship, where he formed lasting friendships and shared his faith.

Arthur had an adventurous spirit, reveling in the joys of travel and camping with his family and friends. He had an enduring passion for photography, capturing the beauty of the world and the precious moments in life.
