James Edward “Jim” Schutt,
Saginaw, Michigan.
Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend passed away on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at HealthSource Saginaw. Age 73 years. The son of the late Clarence and Mildred (Stein) Schutt was born on October 9, 1949 in Bay City, Michigan. He married Kathleen Seager Sonnenberg on June 19, 1993. He was previously married to Cheryl Kleekamp. He was a graduate from T.L. Handy High School, Delta College and Western Michigan University. Jim worked for over 40 years in the electrical business in Michigan and North Carolina including the Square D Company and Rockwell Automation. He was a hard worker and a dedicated family man. He was a member of the Tri-City Carvers Club. Jim enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, stained glass art work, and woodcarving. Jim made several glass and wood pieces for family and friends. Jim will be remembered for his loving and caring spirit, his generosity, quick wit and humor. He could easily recall many historical facts and trivia. Jim cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
