Wow. I met Jay at the Tinder Box in Rapid. He had an infectious personality that I very much enjoyed. How I am saddened to hear of his passing. Tonight I raise a glass and light a cigar for the man I spent part of this New Years with. Here's to you brother.

Dear Schultz Family, I was at a family function on the west coast when I heard about my friend Jay. I am extremely sad about his passing but heartened by the wonderful celebration of his life that I experienced online. Please known that Jay will always remain in my heart and prayers. Sincerely, Brian Fenske

Let's raise our glass and toast to Jay! We are truly saddened by the news of his passing. He was truly a good friend and a fine person with a big personality. Our sincere condolences to Jan, Joni, JJ and Lauren The Shilvock Family

Jay was one of my best friends through high school, which carried on not just through our youth, but managed to stay whole through the present day. His infectious laugh and ability to break the ice - regardless of the situation - is most remembered. My heart breaks with his passing. Jay and his family will be kept in my prayers. My deepest sympathy.

The only guy I ever knew who could tell a really good joke and got the accent exactly right

Jay is as a brother to me; my friend & lawyer. - First met summer '76 after high school, working @I-90 Tilford Info Center: Once time a man came in wearing a blue velvet jumpsuit, showing off his new-fangled digital black watch (face bigger than a 1/2 dollar w/gaudy red numbers), we... were... totally... amazed! As new-found friends, one weekend Jay had me over to his parent's home, before it was later destroyed by fire. - Over college breaks, we often ran into each other @TerryPeak, skiing just a few runs together. But life & times took us different directions. - 2006, my first day out as a Realtor, Jay received my first business card over lunch at Minerva's. - Years later & needing a lawyer, I was referred to Jay. Upon hearing my case, he took it all in & took it on with sincere, thoughtful, dedicated, professional care. - Summer of 2022, was our superb evening of dining, top-shelf scotch & Chicago concert. - And, just last week we had a phone call. I share this not to ramble on about my memories of Jay, because my times with him were few & far between. When a person was with Jay, Jay was always with you. Jay Shultz was a life experience that can never be forgotten. See you in heaven, my brother in Christ.

JJ and the rest of Jay's family - I'm so sorry to hear this news and for your loss. Jay was such a great guy. He always had the biggest smile. What other lawyers do you know who were happy all the time? I'll miss seeing him at ASDA conferences, and I'll miss seeing him when I'm in South Dakota. May he rest in peace. -Jordan Lipp

We are so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He had such a great smile and always fun to be around. I know how much he will be missed by us all!! Shane & Kim Viger

Condolences to the Schultz family and so sorry to hear of the family's sudden loss of Jay. He was always incredibly kind and full of happiness toward everyone every time you were around him. We won't forget that infectious smile, thank goodness it lives on in J.J. JR and LaNae Hamblet

My deepest sympathy to the Shultz family. I will always remember his friendly greetings and his big smile and contagious laugh! ❤️✝️ Dar Kolda

To the Jay Schultz Family, Jay was always so nice to us and always would come over and greet us so cheerfully when ever he saw us. God Bless, Les and Sue Larson

Jay was a wonderful person and friend. I will miss him very much. May God bless and comfort his family. Bob Fischer

The loss of a truly great friend. Always ready to help out or listen if that was all that was needed. We will not get that next trip down the Cheyenne with Jay but his memory will live on. With our deepest sympathy to Don, JJ and the rest of the family, God Bless.

We are so very sorry about Jay's passing. What a vibrant, fun guy...as he will always be remembered. Our deepest sympathy to the entire Shultz family. Jim and Judy Frost

The world dimmed a little with Jay's passing. My memories of hot tubs and cigars with Jay will always be cherished. Jay was a true gentleman. Phi Alpha, brother.

In reflection I cherish all the times we spent together. None more than when we were last together. We all laughed, reminiced and were excited about your upcoming holiday. I am so sorry I did not get to hear "all the details" on your return. I'm sure Paris will never be the same since you left.... Look forward to seeing your one and only "knee dance" again when we meet on the other side. You now join two other great Sig Alphs, Paul and Brad..... Phi Alpha, my Brother! Brett

Wow Very sorry to hear about Jay We played tennis together years ago at arrowhead Always great to see him Hugs to his family ✌️

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jay. He was a wonderful man who touched the lives of so many. His love for life was evident and he always brought the laughter. Our family will miss him dearly. I am sending love and prayers for peace to you JJ, Lauren, Jan, and Joni. I hope you find comfort in the memories you shared with him and in the strength of your extended family. Please know that you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Jay was a nice guy and a good lawyer. Whoever wrote his obituary did a good job of capturing his personality. May he Rest In Peace.
