William Schuttler Jr.
August 28, 1935 – May 8, 2026
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of William Schuttler Jr., who peacefully departed this world on May 8, 2026, at his cherished home. Born on August 28, 1935, in the historic town of West Point, NY, William was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to many. His life, spanning 90 enriching years, was marked by unwavering dedication to family, country, and community.
William was the cherished son of the late Minnie and William Schuttler. He grew up in a close-knit family alongside his siblings, Helen Prince, David Schuttler, and Kenneth Schuttler, who all predeceased him. A proud graduate of Walden, NY, William built a life grounded in principles of integrity and compassion.
In 1958, William embarked on a lifelong journey of love and partnership, marrying Beverly Tears on November 29. Their union was a testament to enduring love, spanning an incredible 67 years. Together, they raised three wonderful children, Donna Roat, Alan Schuttler, and Lynda Sachs, instilling in them the values of kindness, perseverance, and respect.
William served his country with honor as a veteran of the United States Army, a role that shaped his character and instilled a sense of duty and service. His professional life was equally distinguished, serving as a Sales Manager for Tarkett, where his dedication and leadership left a lasting impression on colleagues and clients alike.
Family was the cornerstone of William's life. He was a loving grandfather to six grandchildren: Trisha Siebert, Tiffany McKenzie, Eric Heilker, Olivia Schuttler, Ryan Schuttler, and Bryan Sachs. Each of them was a source of immense pride and joy, and he cherished every moment spent in their company, often sharing stories of his own childhood adventures and life lessons.
William's legacy is one of love, strength, and resilience. He leaves behind a family united by the values he lived by and a community enriched by his kindness and generosity. His gentle spirit and warm heart will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
As we celebrate William's remarkable life, we find comfort in the memories he leaves behind and the love that continues to bind his family together. In honoring his life, we carry forward his legacy of compassion, commitment, and unwavering love.
A private funeral service to celebrate William's life will be held with family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in William's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting his generous spirit and lifelong commitment to helping others.
May William Schuttler Jr. rest in eternal peace, forever cherished in our hearts.
