TIMOTHY H. SCHULZ, 62, of Ogallala, passed away on August 5, 2024, at the Methodist Hospital of Omaha.
Tim was born January 4, 1962, in Sidney, Nebraska, to Henry and Louise (Pieper) Schulz. He graduated from Ogallala High School. He briefly attended UNL, where he studied engineering.
On October 23, 1982, Tim married Mindy Mueller at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Ogallala. The couple made their home in Ogallala and were blessed with two girls: Timarie and Tiffany.
Tim worked as a truck driver and mover for Chief Transfer and Storage for a number of years. The company was owned by his parents, and Tim appreciated the time he spent with them over the years. In 2002, Tim became disabled, and his health necessitated a change of pace.
Tim loved his family and grandchildren immensely. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt and fish with his dogs. He had a gentle heart and a great love of animals. He had a particular soft spot for dogs and always kept one or two hunting dogs. Tim also had many horses over the years and loved to spend time riding. He enjoyed swimming, boating, and skiing and always treasured his time spent at the lake, whether for the weekend or just sneaking away for part of the day to go windsurfing.
Tim was a member of St. Luke's Catholic Church, where he had served as a lector and was a member of the Knights of Columbus before his health issues.
Tim was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mindy, in 2019; his parents and parents-in-law; brother-in-law Jonathan Proudfit; sister-in-law Barb Mueller; and niece, Jessica Eidem.
Survivors include his daughters, Timarie (Ryan) Tushner of Fremont and Tiffany Schulz (Adam Heiden) of Lincoln; grandchildren Tanner, Timberlin, Teakyn, and Tyla Tushner; siblings, Liz (Steve) Johnson of Burwell, Barb Schulz of Omaha, and Ernie (Kelly) Schulz of Ozark, MO; along with several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
