He was born on August 28th, 1940 to the late Lyle Everett Schultz, and Jeannette Margaret (Quinn) Schultz, in Chicago, Illinois. Lyle lived a full life. He learned many trades/skills.

He had a wicked sense of humor that put a sparkle in his eye and loved a good steak. Lyle was survived by his daughter Heather Ann and her husband, Jamie Mattison, his son Lyle John, his wife Jacki and grandsons, Lyle Brian and Lane Scott Schultz. Lyle’s daughter would like to especially thank the amazing staff at Fresh River Healthcare for all the special care they provided him over the last year. The care and compassion were exceptional.
