Steven J. Schultz

Steven J. Schultz, age 67, passed away peacefully on Friday morning, November 17, 2023 in his residence at Close to Home Assisted Living Riegel in Bay City. The son of the late Gerald and Patricia (Musinski) Schultz, he was born on September 2, 1956 in Bay City. He graduated in 1974 from T.L. Handy High School and went on to proudly serve his country with the U.S. Marine Corps. Steven wore many hats during his life – store clerk, taxi driver, Santa Claus, etc., but to his family he was best known as Uncle Buck the Babysitter. And he enjoyed sports, especially the Lions and Red Wings.
Steven is survived by two brothers and two sisters, Michael (Karen) Schultz, Dale (Theresa) Schultz, Lori (Harold) Donaldson and Connie (Jerry) Keel; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by a sister, Christine Hahn in 2012; and a brother, Paul Schultz in 2021.
Steven's family would like to express their thanks to the dedicated staff at Close to Home for all of the care and compassion they gave him over the years.
