Henry V. Schwartz II, age 60, of Sturgis, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior early Saturday morning, February 4, 2023 at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born July 21, 1962 in Sturgis, son of the late Henry and Pauline N. (Eichorn) Schwartz.
Henry resided nearly his entire life in Sturgis and was a graduate of Centreville High School with the class of 1980.
On April 11, 1981 he married Kendra Wickey at the Locust Grove Mennonite Church in Burr Oak.
Henry was a true entrepreneur being involved in numerous business ventures. He was highly involved in real estate, buying, selling, and renting homes and apartment buildings.
His faith in Jesus Christ was paramount in his life. He was an ordained Pastor in the Church of God and was always willing to serve in most any capacity he was able, but his favorite service was teaching Sunday school. He and Kendra were recently attending Grace Christian Fellowship Church in Sturgis.
Henry had a love for most any game played around a table with his family.
