Support Michael's Family Through This Tragedy

Help Us Honor Michael’s Life and Support His Family

It is with broken hearts that we share the loss of Michael Schulze, a beloved son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend. Michael passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 18th, 2025, at the young age of 21. He was more than a cousin to me—he was like a sibling, and his absence has left an indescribable void in our lives.

Michael was the embodiment of kindness and joy. He loved animals and books, and his genuine nature touched the hearts of everyone who knew him. His spirit was one of warmth and happiness, and he was truly an angel on this earth. He made everyone around him feel seen and loved, and his infectious smile could brighten the darkest of days.

As we prepare to lay Michael to rest, we are faced with the unexpected costs of his funeral and the challenges that come with this profound loss. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help cover these expenses and provide some support to his parents, Rose and Rick, during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and allow us to honor Michael’s memory in the way he deserves.

Michael’s life, though short, was full of love, laughter, and genuine goodness. We want to celebrate his life and legacy and ensure that his family feels supported as they navigate this heartbreaking moment.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this painful time. We are forever grateful for Michael and the impact he made on all of us.
