Schultz
Joseph Thomas "Joe"
On September 10, 2018
Died at his St. Paul home, age 27. Joe, as he was known by most, was the son of Thomas and Julie Schultz of Lakeland. He was born in Stillwater, MN and attended school there, graduating from New Heights Academy in 2010. Following graduation, he worked in retail and in customer service at Midwest One Bank in North Hudson and at Comcast in St. Paul.
Joe was a man of eclectic tastes who was an avid reader. He was student of movie genres and enjoyed trying to figure out what a film director was thinking. He was an avid gamer and held regular game nights at his home. He also enjoyed all types of music and was accomplished at karaoke with his friends. And as he did every year, he recently enjoyed attending the Renaissance Fair in full costume, wearing the cape his mother, Julie, made for him. Joe was extremely proud of his Irish heritage and often used his Grandma Helen's maiden name; he was proud to have been a McNamara. Joe had a special place in his heart for all animals especially for his beloved dog, Simon. Joe will remain in the hearts of his parents; his sister, Mindy (Mike) Egger of St. Paul and their son, Malcolm, who had a special bond with his Uncle Joe. He is also survived by his grandparents, Delmer and LaVonne Knefelkamp of Stillwater; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many devoted friends. He is preceded by his grandparents, Amos and Helen Schultz of Stillwater; uncles, Michael and Amos "Buckwheat" Schultz. In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred by the family and will be donated to a charity in Joe's memory.
