Steven Hudson Schultz Sr., a devoted family man, retired serviceman, and beloved member of the community, passed away on December 15, 2023, in Columbus, Ohio. Born on February 22, 1965, in Columbus, he was the son of Eugene Swanson and Betty Ann Schultz.

Steven proudly served and retired after 24 years from U.S. Marines and the U.S. Army National Guard . He fearlessly served his country during Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom, demonstrating unwavering dedication and bravery throughout his military career.

Outside of his military service, Steven was an active member of the World Conqueror’s Through Jesus Christ Church, finding solace and strength in his faith. His commitment to his church community was evident in his passionate involvement and continuous support.

Driven by his love for cars, Steven pursued his passion by establishing Godwin Logistics LLC, a car dealership where he poured his heart and soul into providing quality and reliable vehicles to his customers. His enthusiasm for his work was contagious, and his integrity earned him the respect of colleagues and clients alike.

Above all else, Steven cherished his family. He was a loving and devoted husband to his wife Bridget Schultz, and a caring and nurturing father to his two sons, Steven Schultz Jr. and Derek Townes. He reveled in the joy of being a grandfather to his three grandchildren, Carson Townes, Kennedy Townes, and Nariah Townes.

Steven leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion. His gentle demeanor and towering presence earned him the affectionate label of a “gentle giant” among those who knew him. His absence will be deeply felt by his surviving siblings, brothers Aaron Schultz and Royal Schultz, sister Monretia Crawford, as well as his extended family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Annette Swanson.
