BROOKS MICHAEL SCHULTZ

Brooks Michael Schultz, age 18, of Berlin, died as a result of a traffic accident on Friday, July 7, 2023. He was born December 17, 2004, in Oshkosh, the son of Darrin and Melynda Eichstedt Schultz. Brooks was a 2023 graduate of Berlin High School. To know Brooks, was to love Brooks. He could light up a room with his dimple smiles. He truly cared for others. He was a great son, grandson, friend, and brother to Brodie and Brynleigh. Brooks worked since he was 15, starting at Crossroads Market, Surface and Surroundings, and finally Kinas Excavating, where his goal was to become a heavy equipment operator. No doubt he would have. Brooks enjoyed participating in sports throughout his years in school. His favorite pastimes were waterfowl hunting, snowboarding, and running his boat up and down the Fox, wake boarding with friends. But Brooks’ true love was spending time with his girlfriend (best friend) Molly. Brooks impacted so many, in a short time. He will be missed every minute of every day. Brooks was a member of All Saints Catholic Parish in Berlin. He is survived by his parents, Darrin and Melynda Schultz; siblings, Brodie and Brynleigh Schultz; girlfriend and best friend, Molly Shearer; maternal grandparents, Michael (Maureen) Eichstedt; paternal grandfather, Duane Schultz; Godparents, Chad (Jessica) Martin; aunts and uncles, Annette (Tim) LaSure, Toni (Victor) Petit, Monika (Tim) Bori, Lance (Heather) Schultz, Mike (Wendy) Eichstedt, Matt (Tara) Eichstedt and Marissa Eichstedt; several cousins and friends; and two “fur brothers”, Burk and Briggs. Brooks was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Barbara Schultz; and “fur brother”, Bo. A gathering of family and friends will be held on Tuesday, July 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Barbola Funeral Chapel in Berlin. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:30 p.m., at All Saints Catholic Parish, Father John Silva officiating. Inurnment will be in St. Michael Catholic Cemetery in Berlin.
