Timothy William Schutz

Timothy William Schutz, 61 of Longwood Florida went home to be with the Lord on Friday, February 2nd after battling esophageal cancer and lung complications. Tim’s faith in Christ was very important to him and it carried him through the health challenges he faced with a remarkably positive spirit.

Tim was born on November 1, 1962, to Elaine and Noel Schutz in Bloomington, Indiana. After Tim graduated from King George High School in 1981, he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at the University of Central Florida. Go Knights!

After graduation, Tim went on to become a licensed Professional Engineer. He worked for several firms in Central Florida before opening his own firm about 15 years ago. Driving around the Orlando area you can see many projects that Tim was the civil engineer for, and he would love to show others his work. Developments he partnered on included subdivisions, custom homes, churches, and philanthropic organizations.

Tim married his wife Sue at Cypress Grove Park in Orlando on September 14, 2002. They went on to have 3 children, Caleb, Corban, and Cohen. Tim’s boys were the highlight of his life, and you couldn’t have asked for a prouder father. He loved to attend all of their activities, help them with school, and encourage them.

The family loved to travel together and enjoyed many happy times on Disney cruises and traveling other parts of the world. Tim loved nature, especially the mountains. He achieved his lifelong dream of going to Alaska with his family a few years ago and saw lots of bears, which was a highlight! He also whisked Sue off to Hawaii (her favorite) for one of their last big trips together as a family.

Tim leaves behind his mother. Elaine Osborne, and siblings, aunts and cousins, Phil, Pat, Noel, Nathan, Ross, Glenda, David, Lora, John, Isela, Christopher, Katrina, Gabriella, Rachel, Karch, Juliette, David, Michelle, Cody, Diane. On his wife’s side Tim leaves behind siblings and their children Lynn, Gary, Sara, Mark, Greg, David, Trevor, Katelyn, Jason, Quinn, Rosalie, Jennifer, Joel, Paul, Scott, Mike, Twila, Dean, Carol, Tommy, Joey, Lillian, Nick, Alex, and Julia.
