David Earl Schultz
June 18, 1949 – Jan. 16, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – David was born June 18, 1949, in Lakeport, Calif., to parents, Patricia Lee McIntire and Elbert Earl Scroggins.

When his father passed away, David was adopted by Robert Schultz. Partially raised on the McIntire Ranch, he would help his grandparents work on he ranch he dearly loved.

In David's pre-teen years he was very active in 4-H. He raised steers from the Holdenried Ranch, but his favorite 4-H project was his pig, Gaylord.

David attended Clear Lake High School and graduated in 1967. Soon after, David joined the Navy and served in San Diego.

After the Navy, he moved to Sonoma County and worked Sonoma County Social Services where he met and married Carmen Schultz, a colleague, and embraced her daughter, Julia Arteaga as his own. They had two other children, Christopher and Sarah Schultz.

He and his family moved from Rohnert Park to Lakeport where he worked for Unocal at the Geysers.

He was a loving, doting father and family was his No. 1 priority. He was very much involved in all his children's activities and school work. He took his family on yearly camping trips to Rice Creek, snow skiing in Tahoe, and coached his children's soccer, baseball, and football teams.

David was an athletic man, an avid golfer and generally loved all sports, but especially relished baseball as he coached and played in adult leagues.

Politically astute, David appreciated political discussions and was a trivia buff; ask him any question and he had an answer.

David was truly an incredible man; his witty humorous personality was loved by and will truly be missed.

He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Carmen Schultz; daughter, Julia Arteaga (Marc Carithers); two grandchildren, Maya Carithers and Philodice Schultz; his sisters, Linda (Mike) Fullerton, and Jackie (Teddy) Rodrigues; also, nieces and nephews.

Jimbo loved motorcycles, muscle cars, the 49ers, NASCAR’s Tony Stewart, fishing, camping and playing any type of cards from poker to pinochle. He would spend hours in his pontoon boat enjoying the serenity and beauty of Clear Lake. He also loved the beauty of Yosemite and especially Kauai, where he hoped to retire someday.

Following the service there will have a potluck get together at the Lakeport Yacht Club, 15 5th St. (at Library Park). All are welcome.

He was a big man with a big voice, big laugh and a big heart.

He will surely be missed.
