Richard Waine Schutte, 66, of Stow, passed away at his home on December 4, 2024. He was born on August 24, 1958 to the late Harold J. Schutte and Emma Lou {Brock} Schutte. 

In addition to his parents, Rich was preceded in death by his wife Cheryl Kish-Schutte, sister Maribeth Smith and brother David Harold Schutte.

Rich was a proud United States Marine. He enjoyed going to air shows with family, fishing, riding his motorcycle, flying his drone and good (loud) music. More than anything, he loved making memories with his family, especially his grandkids. 

Rich was the rock of his family, loyal and steadfast. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.

Per Rich's wishes, cremation has taken place, and private services were held for his family. To share a memory of Rich or leave a special message for his family, visit the guest book below.
