It has been over a month, but I wanted to say something and share some memories that have been on my mind recently. 
I reflect on the past month and I continue to be shocked with the reality that he has passed. Every day I am reminded of him, and I see so many things that are associated with him. I find myself wanting to call or text him just to talk about my day.
My dad was such an amazing father. He was so caring, kind and just wanted to help in any situation. I always felt so loved by him by his acts of service. His love for me and my sister was so strong and he never failed to show it. One moment that I will always remember is when Jordan and I went to the hospital that Tuesday evening to visit him. The second he saw us walking in the room, his face lit up with joy and I could tell he was so happy to see us. Even in his lowest moments he continued to show his love for us. 
My dad was very hard-working, and he taught me at a young age to work hard whether it be job related, through school, or in life in general. That is something I will always take with me. I have so many great childhood memories with him that I cherish. My favorite childhood memory is whenever I would get out of the bath or shower as a kid and my hair was wet, I would always ask my dad to “comb my hair like a boy.” I still to this day have no idea why I thought this was so cool, but my dad would take his comb and brush my wet hair all the way back, and I thought I looked like a cool boy. In reality, I probably looked like I had a weird mullet, but my dad still happily did it every time I asked. We would go on Home Depot trips, go shooting at the shooting range, he came to every basketball, volleyball or softball game, and he always cured my sad days with jokes and laughter. He was an amazing and supportive father and  will always be my role model. I know he is watching us in Heaven and probably laughing with Jesus. May you rest in eternal peace of Heaven forever. I love you, Dad. 

Mike did a lot of work on repairs. In our home in addition to installing other safety features in our home!  Thanks Mike! We will miss him and his happy go lucky attitude!  RIP Mike until we see you again!!!! Keep the angels happy!!!!!

Mike and I knew each other from the time we were born. His family lived a couple of miles away on their family farm, and we would occasionally run into each other with our fathers while running errands at the co-op, or assisting with various farming tasks. Because we went to school together from the time we were in kindergarten until we graduated from High School, we could bicker like siblings. It was impossible to stay mad at him, because he had such a ready smile and a playful outlook on life. He seemed shy at times, but that was because he was observing and waiting for the right time to get that punchline in! 

I'll never be able to repay the Schartz family for being my saviors after church...Twice, they made room for me in their cars after our two overloaded drivers left without me. I was always jealous of Mike because he got to have a little sister, and was also #8 in their sibling brood. I didn't understand why I couldn't get a sweet younger sibling like Christine (until much later, of course!). 

Lorene was my mom's best friend, and have this image of her meeting Mike on the other side with a loaf of homemade bread and a hug after he's had a chance to greet his dad. His smile is now bright enough to light all of heaven. Be well, my friend. Thanks for all of the laughs!

I can not describe how I feel in only a few words.  I am deeply saddened and my heart aches. We have had so much fun together
over the years. You always made me laugh as well as the rest of the
family. You were someone I could always talk to and you would 
listen. There are so many things I will miss about you. 
You will be deeply missed by us all and we all loved you so much,
I know Phil, Kaitlyn and Travis feel the same way.
I love you, your sister  Juanita

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mike. I have many wonderful memories and will cherish them always.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all. 

I have known Mike Schartz  and his family for a long time. I am so sad to hear about his death. My deepest sympathy to all of you and I will keep you all  in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss. We just met Mike recently when he moved in across  the street from us. He seem like such a great guy. He was always  waving when he would see us. We always talked when we were both outside. Even though we did't know him  very well he will be missed. So very sorry.

so sorry for your loss     Jane Grandy and Phil  Garcia


I am both shocked and saddened to hear of Michael’s death.  My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

I met Mike when he started dating my long time friend Lori.  He was a really good guy and a great father!  I will always remember him joking around and smiling.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  God bless.  So much love.

Our family met Mike and his family when Taylor started travel softball at the age of 10. For years, the girls traveled and played together, while the parents spent lots of time watching and talking. Mike had such great personality and we always had plenty to talk about. He and my husband Mike actually found that they had attended the same college at the same time. I remember his wonderful, fun smile. 

Mike and I met via my grandpa who was one of his high school teachers. He was a great friend and one of the funniest guys I ever knew. Unfortunately we lost touch after I graduated from K-State and moved back home to AZ.  I am shocked and saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his brothers Joe, Stephen and David as well as the rest of the family. I dont know if their parents are still living but thinking of them as well. Would love to hear from Joe in the future. azschraeder@cox.net

We were so sad to hear about Mike and want to offer up our prayers and support for all of you.  He was such a great friend and was always first to offer help for anyone in need.  One great memory that stands out was his introduction of the pickle pop in the St. Peter concession stand - who could ever top  that!  We love you all and you will be in our prayers always.

I will forever remember Mike as the sweet, silly, kind, and generous boy he was in high school.  His bright smile not only lit up his entire face, but lifted the spirits of all around him.  You are gone too soon Michael.  

I am proud and honored to say that Mike was my friend for almost 50 years.

The hole in my heart is large.

I will miss him every day.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Mike was a life long friend and I know he will be missed by many.
