James “Jim” Andrew Shultz

James “Jim” Shultz, 68, of Burlington, KY, entered eternal life on Thursday, December 7, 2017 at St. Elizabeth Grant Hospital in Williamstown, KY. He was a man who continued to be on the path to improving himself thru his faith in Jesus Christ. When asked how he was doing by anyone, he’d always respond with, “better than I deserve”. Earlier in his life, he was very much a private person, but in recent years he had become much more social, to a point where he’d talk to anyone, anywhere about his faith. His passion was the ministry of Answers in Genesis and his love was volunteering at the Creation Museum. He was a loving father to his sons and a caring husband to his wife, Eileen. Recently, he also was blessed with becoming a grandfather to Lily, whom he loved dearly and often FaceTimed by phone. His love of cooking, photography and music were passed down to his sons, Christian and Ken. He was preceded in death by his parents Eugene A. and Lucille Shultz, Jr. as well as his brother Robert Shultz. Jim will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 44 years, Eileen Shultz; their sons: Christian Shultz and Ken (Saintia) Shultz; granddaughter Lily; brother David (Mary) Shultz; niece Carol (Shawn) Terkhorn and family; as well as many other family members and friends. Visitation will be held at Linnemann Funeral Home and Event Center on Wednesday, December 13, 2017 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A private family graveside service will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2017 with interment to follow at Burlington, Cemetery.
