children, several pets, exchange students, and were devoted
foster parents. JJ spent his career in the hospitality
business and was well respected and loved by his work
family. He always had a "people first" philosophy because he
knew when he took care of his work team, they would take
care of the customers. JJ was an amazing artist and enjoyed

kids, custom doodled name tags for employees, or a drawing
on a progress report instead of signature, his art brought
happiness to everyone around him. JJ enjoyed fantasy
football, Magic the Gathering and any random board game he
could get his hands on. All of this came second to spending
time with his family. He was sure to be found at every

concert. He enjoyed being Saturday morning short order cook
for his family. JJ is survived by his wife Heather Schutza,
their four beautiful children, and his mother Patricia
Schutza. A private memorial was held by family. |
