Schultz, Scott Duncan
Scott Duncan Schultz, 24, died suddenly on July 30, 2012, in Studio City, Calif.
Scott was born June 14 (Flag Day), 1988, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Dr. Carl Schultz and Dana Schubert Schultz, all from Cedar Rapids. Scott is survived by his parents; a brother and his wife, David and Kerri Schultz Everett of Washington; aunt, Susan Schultz Milden and Dr. Gary Milden of Cedar Rapids; and cousins, Dr. Katie Milden Schroder and her husband, John Schroder and Molly Milden, all from Cedar Rapids.
Scott is also survived by uncles, Rick and Brad Schubert and aunt Jill Schubert and cousins Libby O'Connell and Sally Bauer, all from Minneapolis.
Scott leaves behind his college sweetheart, Michelle Arguelles of San Francisco. Scott was making plans to move to San Francisco this month to be closer to Michelle.
Scott was preceded in death by his grandparents, Tatsie and Dutch Schultz and Betty and Bob Schubert.
Scott lived in Dubuque and Bettendorf, before moving with his family to Sanibel, Fla., in kindergarten. He attended Canterbury High School in Fort Myers and graduated last year from Boston College. Scott was an avid reader and gifted writer. He would buy a Harry Potter book at midnight and have it finished by noon. As senior class president, instead of reading a graduation speech he wrote a poem. He wrote and produced a film at Boston which took first place in competition. He also played clarinet in his high school band. He had a passion for roller coasters and Disney parks. Scott had a quick wit and would often do eccentric things to the amusement of his colleagues, such as dressing up with a friend as the Broke Back Cowboys to attend a high school Sadie Hawkins dance.
Seldom has a life so short yielded so much joy.
A celebration of Scott's life will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 7, at the Cedar Memorial Park Chapel of Memories with Celebrant Julie Freese of Cedar Memorial officiating. Burial will be in Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery, next to his grandmother. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home.
Friends may, if they wish, donate to Cedar Valley Humane Society in Scott's memory.
