Craig Martin Schultz, aged 74, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2025, at his home in Maryland Heights.

Craig’s academic accomplishments laid the foundation for a successful career in engineering. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla, later enhancing his education with an MBA from Washington University in St Louis. As a proud member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, Craig formed lasting friendships and sustained professional relationships that enriched his personal and professional life.

A dedicated family man, Craig cherished his loved ones and was especially fond of his grandchildren, Drew and Tyler. Craig’s love and commitment were apparent in the heartwarming stories shared by his friends and family, reflecting his role as a caring and thoughtful grandfather, father, son, and brother. His wife and the love of his life, Sandra Elkins Schultz, predeceased him in 2020. His legacy is carried forward by his daughters, Debbie Schultz and Jennifer (Doug) Patchin. Craig is survived by his mother, Ida Motchan, his sisters, Sandy (Peter) Cowhey and Donna (the late Patrick) Hanley, his sister-in-law Phyllis (Craig) Appel, and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. Craig was preceded in death by his father, Louis “Bob” Schultz.

Craig’s life was a testament to the values he held dear: love for family and passion for his work. He left a lasting impression on all who were fortunate to know him. Though he is no longer with us, the memories and love he shared will continue to inspire his family and friends for generations to come.
