David Schultz Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 27, 2026.
David Schultz of Lakewood, Colorado passed away peacefully in hospice care on March 4, 2026 after a long and valiant battle with COPD.

Dave was born on August 6, 1953 to David and Ann Schultz. Dave graduated from Urbana High School in 1971. He attended the Columbus School of Art and graduated from Dayton Art Institute. He moved to Evergreen, Colorado in the late 1970's, combining his skills as a housepainter and his love of art into a successful career as a much sought after interior finisher.

Dave was very active, skiing, biking, hiking, boating, playing softball, making music, creating art and traveling whenever he could. His greatest joy was his children.

Dave is survived by his son David (Tori) and two grandchildren, his daughter Lizzy (Vitor), his sister Susan (Tom), brother Bob (Karen) and sister Sara (Don), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He spoke often of friendships from Urbana that he had kept through the years. He is greatly missed.

A celebration of Dave's life will be held in the summer. For more information, write [email protected].
