May 6, 1987 – June 8, 2025
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Mark Aaron Schulz on June 8, 2025, at the age of 38.
Mark was a son, brother, father, uncle, nephew, and friend whose presence could light up a room and whose laughter brought comfort to many. He is survived by his loving partner Ashley Ellenor and her daughter Sophia, his father, Mark Schulz Sr.; his aunt Wanda Cole; his beloved sons, Bentley and Dominic; his sister, Stephanie Schulz-Kehler; his brother-in-law, Shelby Kehler; nieces Brooke Malberg and Hazel Kehler; nephews Levi Kehler, Tice Kehler, and Ash Kehler; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends whose lives were touched by his generous spirit and big heart.
Mark was a good guy with a kind soul — always lending a helping hand and an ear to listen. He loved to tease those he cared about, and his infectious laugh and smile could brighten even the darkest day.
He loved working up in the bush, tinkering on vehicles, going mud bogging, and hunting with his dad. Some of his happiest times were simply spent hanging out with his nieces and nephews, who adored their fun-loving uncle. Above all, he loved his sons deeply; they were his pride and joy.
Though his life held its share of struggles, Mark never stopped caring for others and making people feel loved. His family takes comfort in knowing he is now at peace, reunited with loved ones who went before him.
A gathering for friends and family will be held on Saturday, July 19th at 1:00pm in the
Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, to honour Mark’s life and share memories together.
The service will be live streamed from https://ipcamlive.com/5f98c1fdc1e47 The PIN is 1993
In lieu of flowers, please consider an act of kindness in Mark’s memory — reach out to someone in need, share a laugh, or simply remind a loved one they are not alone.
He will be forever loved and deeply missed.

A Bird’s Blessing
May you fly on the wings of morning,
where the forest whispers your name.
May the wind carry your laughter
through the treetops and the rain.
May every bird remind us
you’re free, unbound by pain —
soaring high above our sorrow,
until we meet again.

Condolences to Mark’s family and friends. I taught Mark in kindergarten and remember him as a busy happy 5 year old. His mom was a frequent parent helper. I have fond memories of both Mark and his mom. So very sorry Mark died so young.
Mark Schulz was such a caring man. He loved his Family more than anything. I have known Mark for 25 years and always had a smile on his face with love in his heart. Mark will be greatly missed by all and will live on through so many people. Mark will always be looking over his beautiful children who he loved more than anything watching them grow and guiding them listening aswell as living on through them.
Mark and Ashley were very good friends of mine and my ex-partner Joel’s! Mark was such a kind, caring and loving soul for the ones he cared about ❤️ Mark always had my back, never picked sides between me n Joel, always gave me a shoulder to cry on when I needed to vent or to just let things out! He would always give me n Joel couple’s counselling (which he was really good at and always gave really good advice and solutions…….then he would laugh n say, only if I could follow my own advice lol .
Mark lived with me n Joel for a few months n I always enjoyed his company, filled with so much laughter and sometimes there was sadness but we always supported one another! I always felt safe when he was around, especially when Joel wasn’t there n I trusted him, and truly respected him!. I am so blessed that I met him and Ash as they have the were very supportive and REAL!
I just cantvget passed the fact that he called me and Facebook messaged me two days before he passed and I missed his call n I didn’t see his FB message until it was too late only if I would have answered…..maybe he just needed a listening ear, maybe he would still be wit huh us
