Kenneth Schuldt Obituary

SHREVEPORT, LA - Mr. Kenneth Harold Schuldt, 63, lost a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on Saturday, September 4, 2010. Born 6/18/47, Ken grew up in Beecher, Illinois, attended Beecher High School, and Indiana Institute of Technology. He enlisted and served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps, 26 months of which were spent in combat zones in Vietnam. After military service, he settled in New Orleans, working for Union Carbide. Eventually his work as a salesman of durable medical equipment took him to Detroit, Michigan, then Jackson, Mississippi, and ultimately to Shreveport. He worked for several medical companies including Richardson Vicks, Baker, and Sanofi. Tiring of travel, he accepted a position with Nolan Industrial Battery Company, where he worked for 13 years as branch manager in Shreveport. Ken was an avid golfer and a rabid LSU and Saints fan. He loved tailgate parties with the family and was thrilled to see his teams win recent championships. Ken was a member of Broadmoor United Methodist Church, had previously been a board member of the Elks Club, and an officer in the Broadmoor Golf Association.
Preceding him in death were his father, Harold Schuldt; in-laws, Christine and M. C. Walker; and brother-in-law, Marvin Nice. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Doris Walker Schuldt (Shreveport); son, Scott Schuldt and wife Jennifer (Little Rock); daughter Christy Chance and husband Dr. Joshua Chance; and grandchildren, Lucas, Alex, and Chloe Chance (Little Rock). Additional survivors include his mother, Marie Schuldt (Illinois); brother, Allen Schuldt and wife Judy, (Baton Rouge); sister, Doris Nice (Wisconsin); sister-in-law, Mary Walker (Shreveport); two nieces, and three nephews. Also mourning his loss is his faithful golden retriever, Maggie, whose visits brightened Ken's last days.
Memorial services for Ken will be held at 2:30 P.M., Saturday, Sept. 11, at Broadmoor United Methodist Church with visitation at 1:30. Ken requested that memorials be made to First Tee of Northwest Louisiana or St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Ken's family,
I'm so sorry for your loss.I bet you have wonderful memories to honor him. I was in the class of '65 with Ken, and I spoke with him a couple of years ago trying to convince him to come to the class reunion. It felt good to hear him and that wonderful laugh of his--I'll also remember his great smile, mischief-making, and sense of humor. It always felt good to be around him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Kenneth Harold Schuldt our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Ken. And to Ken it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Vietnam War while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. Ken, we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,341 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Ken’s family and loved ones.
