Clarence (Gene) Schuett

Gene Schuett, 83, of Port Hope, passed away Sunday, June 8, 2025 at McLaren Bay Region in Bay City. He was born on May 28, 1942 in Detroit to the late Clarence and Elizabeth (Cameron) Schuett. Gene and Judy Harrison were united in marriage on November 5, 1962 in Union Lake, Michigan. Gene was a member of Our Lady of Lake Huron Catholic Church, The Knights of Columbus, Friends of the Port Hope Depot and the Port Hope Area Historical Society. He served on the Port Hope Zoning Committee and the Village Council. He was a member of AA for the last 36 years in good standing and he established The Port Hope Chill Zone. Gene’s career started in the insurance business, but later he found his true calling in selling sporting goods. A life long lover of sports, Gene’s passion for the game - whether on the field, on the court or in the stands - was a defining part of his life and a legacy that will live on in the countless lives he touched. From his earliest days, Gene was a natural athlete excelling in multiple sports, earning recognition, not just for his talent, but for his teamwork, determination and sportsmanship. Throughout adulthood he remained deeply involved in his local sports community. He officiated many sports and coached little league, doing so with encouragement and heart. He believed in the power of sports to teach, connect and inspire. Gene will be remembered for his sense of humor, his generous heart, the joy he brought to others, his dedication to his community and the love he gave so freely to his family and friends. Gene is survived by his wife Judy Schuett; children: Todd (Pat) Schuett, Jody (Wilson) Rugel, Janel Marvel and Swiss daughter Isabelle Antille; grandchildren: Michelle, Anthony, Cameron, Mariah, Mitchell, Declan, Clare; great grandchildren: Olivia, Mariana, Eleanor, Julia, Liam, Cameron, Evonna; his siblings: John (Judie) Schuett, Bonney Hillen, brother-in-law Bob Harrison, sister-in-law Chris McMahon, several nieces and nephews and close friends Tony and Brian Gephart.
