Gary Michael Schulte's Obituary
Gary Michael Schulte passed away peacefully with family at his side on Saturday, December 2nd,
2023 in San Diego, CA.
Gary was born on July 27th, 1956 in Kansas City, KS to John “Jack” Melvin Schulte and Beverly
Toffman from Minnesota. In his early adulthood he traveled throughout the U.S. until arriving and
establishing himself in sunny San Diego, CA. Through some uphill battles, but never without heart
and perseverance, Gary received vocational training and established his career in medical billing. He
continued on a path of self-growth by learning to speak Spanish. He later met his wife, Adelaida R.
Schulte and they married on March 20th, 1999 and ultimately became a father to 4 children.
Gary will be remembered for his resiliency, as well as the loving, caring and silly parent that he was.
His family inherited a love for football and wrestling shows, and they will know that he is with them
every time they watch these programs on television. His places of joy - the beach, parks and the local
zoo will be visited with him in mind. Above all, “the boys”, Jeffrey and Daniel, his greatest joy's, will
keep his legacy alive.
Accompanied by the Lord, Gary will be free, rocking-out in heaven to tunes from the Rolling Stones,
Kiss and many other rock stars like himself. He will dance in the moonlight.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Glen.
He is survived by his wife Adelaida R. Schulte, his son’s Jeffrey M. Schulte and Daniel A. Schulte, as
well as his step-children Anthony Rojas and Jennifer G. Tello and his siblings Debbie Stanke, Shari
