Gerald F. "Jerry" Schultz

January 6, 1928 — November 21, 2015

Gerald F. (Jerry) Schultz, age 87, a lifelong resident of Ten Mile Lake, Dalton, died Saturday, November 21, 2015, at the Fergus Falls Veteran’s Administration Home of complications from Parkinson’s Disease.

Jerry was born January 6, 1928, at Prohosky Camp (now known as Ten Mile Lake Resort). He was the second son of Nellie and Fred Schultz. Jerry attended country school District 1456 at Ten Mile Lake, and graduated from Fergus Falls High School. He was in the Army National Guard during the Korean War.

On November 28, 1953, Jerry was married to Shirley M. Montz at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Kansas City, MO. Jerry and his brother Bob ran Ten Mile Lake Resort and Steakhouse, continuing the family tradition, which began in 1906. Jerry was an avid hunter, pilot, businessman, and well-loved father and grandfather.

Jerry was preceded in death by his son, Patrick Schultz; his parents, Nellie and Fred Schultz; a brother, Bob Schultz; and sister-in-law Ann.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Shirley; children, Susan (Jeff) Heyen of Eden Prairie, MN, and their daughters, Taylor (Leigh) Tinmouth and Mallory; Lisa (Mark) Deutschman of Maple Grove, MN, and their daughters, Megan (Jon Howard) Deutschman, Kelly and Cait; Michael (Linda) Schultz of Ten Mile Lake, and their daughters, Courtney and Sydney; daughter-in-law, Lisa (Kevin) Schultz-Fred, and her children, Ben (Celeste) Schultz, Jenna (Matt) Pence and Jared (Rachel) Schultz; great grandchildren, Nathalie and Noah Schultz and Lincoln and Kaelyn Pence. Jerry is also survived by four nephews and two nieces. The family would also like to acknowledge Jerry’s life-long devoted friend Jim Madison.

The family would like to thank the staff of the Fergus Falls Veteran’s Home. The care they showed Jerry over the past six years, and especially these last few weeks, is greatly appreciated.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the American Parkinson’s Disease Association (APDA).
