Hello Jeff ,
It's been quite awhile since I've sent a message to you letting you know that you're still in my heart everyday. I've been thinking a lot about you as I continue my journey of healing , I haven't been quite the same without you being in my life . You were the best friend that Ive ever been blessed to have had in my life . I still miss you as much today as I ever have ..., it's like time has just stood still since the day of your passing . I fell to my knees when I heard the news of your passing away , when I was helped back to my feet it seems that half of me still remains on my knees while the rest of me is still trying to find a way to make it through this life without you . Now here we are in 2025 and we've got St Patricks day looming on the horizon . I still don't drink alcohol but I'll certainly have a Mountain Dew in your honor .
I still love and miss you brother

Hello there my dear friend Jeff. I'm sorry that it has been so long since I've last written you. I'm hopeful that you have been able to find peace in heaven with our Lord jesus Christ as I'm confident that you have .
It seems that lifes curves have continued since your passing and without your assistance , your guidance and understanding that I've become overwhelmed a bit to the point that I am now reaching out for God myself for help so that I MAY be able to finish my life in a manner that is acceptable to both himself and with you . I've got a wonderful girlfriend and her name is Elizabeth , she's alot like you Jeff but also different and unique in her own ways which is why I love her as much as I do . She too is teàching me , even when I manage to upset her which you and both know I've got an unbelievable knack of doing , she manages to hang in there with me...guiding me , encouraging me and loving me all the while.
As I'm sure that you're already aware my life has been becoming unmanageable but I'm still here trying too afraid to fail God , you , Elizabeth and myself ...I'm on my knees asking for help Jeff and I pray that he is hearing me which I BELIEVE HE IS because of how odd it was the way that I was able to find you here again after losing you for so long . I miss you Jeff.

I wanted to leave you a few lines today Jeff letting you know that you are still in my heart and my mind , i knew when you left i would never find another friend like you again , and guess what ? just as usual, i was right again . I still miss you everday and wish you were here , its like my life became stale and is just sitting still , i have a difficult time trying to keep myself together some days but i always try to keep my head up and continue to move forward just the way you would want me to do for myself,you taught me well and for that i am grateful, its a very difficult world without you here Jeff , i miss the hell out of you chach !love and miss you Jeff

Hello to my Irish friend , wanted to say Happy St.Patricks Day...you know i find it to be an odd coincidence that there is actually a day thats named after a saint and has the same name that you wear too , i have only one word to describe how you have always appeared to me , ok two...lol, one is "selfless"... you never seem to put yourself in front of others , you always have had this special gift of listening and offering a helping hand , thank you , ....and the other word i use to describe you is "Saint" , you are the type of soul that could only 'DO GOOD",you would never hurt another soul , not deliberately anyways...lol, . The bottom line is you are just a great guy who is all heart , and i thank you for being you , just you, you dont need smoke , lights and noise to make your presence felt , people who know you understand exactly what im saying Jeff , and we all love and miss your laugh and your smiling face everyday, i can still hear your laugh buddy , i will never forget that laugh of yours , but i will always miss it , take care my friend and i will be writing to you much more , thank you for lending an ear , love ya "Chachi"

Cheryl, Kevin, and Laura,
I was heartbroken to hear of Jeff's passing. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a son and brother. I've enjoyed keeping up with everyone through your annual Christmas letter. Sounds like his life was very full even though it was cut too short. May you cherish many happy memories.
Love,

Dear Schultz Family,
We are so very sorry to hear this news. Patty discovered Jeff's obituary notice in the paper and called today to let me know about it. We will always remember fun times spent with Jeff and your family - working at the State Fair, Saints Roller Rink, church at St. Rose, hours of video games and movies at your house and so many more things. Jeff was always smiling and such a great kid. We wish you peace, love and support through this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

I worked with Jeff at the family's State Fair hamburger stand for a few years. Jeff helped make the long hours and hot days pass a lot quicker. He played around, but also kept us from getting too far out of line.
I can only imagine the thousands of people who are happier for having spent time with Jeff.
July 22, 2009
My deepest sympathy to Jeff's Family, Friends, old teammates. I got to know Jeff through the wonderful game of baseball over the past 14 years or so. I think the best compliment you can give a baseball player is by saying, he was a great teammate. Not only a good baseball player, but a great teammate. He was a old school player that had the respect of his teammates and competitors. I am happy he got to play another game with the River Rats this summer and make one last trip down to the Plum City Tourney. God just gained a heck of a 2nd basemen. RIP #24

Dear Schultz Family and Friends,
We will greatly miss Jeff. We will miss him for the exuberant energy he had for the things he did and the fun he had with the people around him. We had the pleasure of getting to know Jeff through work at first and then as friends. He could make you laugh and smile during frustrating working moments and help us to make it through the day - he understood! He would always strike up a conversation and make you nod your head in agreement! He is a one of a kind friend that will be greatly missed.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family and friends of Jeff.

Dear the Schultz family and Jeff's many friends:
I lived in the same house with Jeff for over ten years. He was like a stepfather to me. Simply put, he was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was ridiculously kind, his sense of humor was classic, and he had a gigantic heart. I am absolutely heartbroken.
Jeff's family and friends should feel comfort in knowing that the world is a better place because Jeff graced it with his presence. He will be sorely missed.
With all my love,
Sean

We were stunned and greatly saddened to hear of Jeff's demise. We knew him over the years through his friendship with our son, Chris. And even though we moved back to Michigan we would see him almost every time we visited Chris and our granddaughter. In fact, he was at her birthday party in February. Chris said that he hoped that he and Jeff would come here to visit us and play some golf later this summer. We were looking forward to it. We can only imagine how horrific an event this must be for his family if it were our son instead. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. He was a fine young man and while he may be gone he will never be forgotten.

Dear Laura, Cheryl and family,
We were so sorry to learn of Jeff's death. We are keeping you close in our thoughts and pray that God gives you peace and joy as you remember Jeff with love.
Psalm 139:13-16 (New International Version)
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Schultz Family, Hudson River Rats, Friends and Family who all loved Jeff.
In the short time that we were friends, Jeff was a great guy who never said a harsh word about anyone. He always had a smile to share and an extended hand to shake and greet.
We will all miss his wonderful sense of humor and his generous helping hand. He will be missed on the sidelines of the baseball fields and across the green of the poker table.
Plum City Tourney nights will not be the same without his witty humor to accompany the chorus of cheers across the park.
Friend, rest in peace, you shall be missed by all.

Friends and Family of Jeff,
I am still struggling to grasp the fact that I will never hear Jeff laugh again. Its not fair, he is too young and too wonderful and my stomach turns knowing that he is gone.
I think it is safe to say that I would not be who I am today, and my life would not be what it is had I not known him. He will be missed every day and never forgotten.
I beleive he will be getting all the sleep that he had been putting off for 38 years. ;)
Love you all, and my thoughts are with everyone through this impossible time.

Dear Schultz Family and Friends,
Jeff will be greatly missed by his classmates. His smile and laughter were so contageous and he always tried to have the last word, and he usually made it a funny word...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these hard times.
