Malcolm Anthony "Tony" Shultz

Malcolm Anthony “Tony” Shultz, 84, formerly of Kewanna, passed away at 9:22 p.m. on Friday, October 9, 2026, at Lutheran Hospital, Ft. Wayne

Born on September 4, 1942, in Peru, Indiana, he was the son of Ernest P. And Mauna F. (Piatt) Shultz.

Tony attended Jefferson Township High School. He married Connie Pugh in 1960 before being drafted into the United States Army where he served in Vietnam. He was a timber buyer most of his life and had a great love for cars, especially several special Chevrolets that he enjoyed working on and showing off. He loved going to car shows and tractor pulls where he was able to spend quality time with his sons over the years. Tony also enjoyed being outside as much as possible: working in the woods as a timber buyer, sitting in the glider on the porch, or working in his yard-making sure to keep the grass meticulously trimmed.

Survivors include three sons, Chris (Anita) Shultz, Marion; Mark Shultz (Heather Travis), Huntington; and Evan (Paige) Shultz, Arcola, Illinois; grandchildren, Drew (Ashley) Shultz, Kelsey (Dustin) Scheiber, Trey Shultz, Peyton Shultz, Nala Wilford, Kolsen Shultz, and Quindalynn Shultz ; bonus grandchildren, Lacey (Nick) Guhl, and Olivia (Jonas) Smart; five great-grandchildren, Hunter Shultz, Felix Scheiber, Clarity Guhl, Finnick Guhl, and Harvey Smart; one sister, Penny Stapleton, Peru; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers, Edward Shultz, Eldon George Shultz, Donald Shultz, and Marion Shultz; and six sisters, Sarah Mikesell, Lois Deford, Pauline Wahab, Alma Sease, Karla Wolfe, and Teresa Margaret Sixbey.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at McClain Funeral Home, Denver, Indiana. Burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery, Mexico, Indiana.
