Age 56, of Batavia, NY, died peacefully Thursday May 3, 2018 at the Batavia Healthcare Center after a courageous battle with Muscular Dystrophy. He was born in Batavia, June 1, 1961, a son of the late Kenneth Shultz and Sandra (Metz) Shultz-Pfeifer, also preceded in death by his brother, Jeffrey Lee Shultz.
Jeff loved and served honorably in the United States Marine Corp from 1979-1983. He was employed for the former O&K Trojan, Whiting Overhead Door and most recently as a Walmart greeter before his illness kept him from working.
