LAKEPORT, Calif. – Clinton George Heuring, born July 13, 1929, in Colorado Springs, Colo., died on March 11, 2016, in Lakeport.

He was a hardworking, honest man. He served his country with the US Army, in El Paso, Texas, during the Korean Conflict.

Throughout his life, he raised bees, rode motorcycles, raced cars, refurbished antique vehicles, went to the theater and enjoyed classical music. He was interested in German history and liked reading.

He collected fine wine, and for years visited many wineries, especially in California – but he also enjoyed a cold beer after a hard day at work.

He picked up antiques, loved his pets and had a free roaming pigeon in the house for years.

In 1966, he met and married the love of his life – Jean, with her two daughters, Kathy and Maureen.

He was a fine carpenter; as well as a home builder. He did it all – framing, electric, plumbing, dry wall and paint.

He always took care of his own cars and trucks. He loved to travel, driving his Jaguar XKE all over the back roads of America. He loved people, had lots of friends, he loved to laugh.

Twenty some years ago, he found true joy and happiness in a walnut orchard here in Lakeport. He quickly developed a circle of friends with neighbors nearby. At the end, it was those friendships, and his kids, that he was most proud of.

He was always there to help. He was a loyal friend, a good provider and he cherished his family, in his own way.

He is survived by his younger brother, John Clark Heuring; his children, Karen (Olszewski), Kathleen (Freepartner), Kenny Heuring and Dawn (Wendland), along with his step-daughters, Kathleen Gauss and Maureen Linden; eight grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren.

He will rest next to his wife, Jean, who precede him in death.

Graveside services will take place at 11 a.m. Friday, March 18, at Hartley Cemetery. Friends and family will hold a gathering at noon at the Scotts Valley Women’s Clubhouse.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Sit down on the couch with a drink this evening for a story. It’s about a guy who left us before he planned to, but he went exactly as he would have wished – fast, and with a bit of surprise. We weren’t ready and we will miss him dearly.

He lived many lives in his 69 years.

Born in Sonora to Donna and Lee Schultz, then raised in Vallecito, Calif, he and his brother Ron were raised as small town boys, close to extended family.

He went to college at Sacramento State and had his first career in marine biology with the Department of Fish and Game.

With abalone shells strewn far and wide, he had his daughters, Heidi and Andrea, with his first wife Linda.

During this period of his life, you would have learned from him that just because the water was sharky, it didn’t mean you couldn’t dive it.

He found adventure and peace under the ocean waves. With the chilly winters on the coast, he was known to clear the garage and fire up a heater so his little girls could roller skate.

After his first marriage ended, he met his life partner and second wife, Jan, and his children by choice, Shaun and Shalon.

He took up the art of blended family water skiing, fitting six people into the cab of a truck while towing a boat, and spending long hours treading water in a lake while the kids learned to ski.

He also decided that diving was for sport, not money, and he made several career changes through his life, showing that when it’s time to do something different, you just do it, because life is too short.

He was good at everything he did. In retirement, he dabbled in small projects such as operating a vineyard with some friends, building a swimming pool and starting a dialysis center, just because the coast didn’t have one.

He drove just about everywhere he went simply to avoid an airplane. He often wore slippers as shoes, and pulled it off with remarkable style. He had great calves, a sassy sense of humor, and a strong investment in helping the people in his life.

He stayed in touch with family and friends from his home town, from Mendocino and Fort Bragg, and from his new home in Lake County.

He was so very proud of his grandchildren, Kaleb, Griffin, Anika, Cody, Amy and Hayden, who all share glimmers of his personality. He was rarely without his pup, Missy, by his side.

In the evenings, he finished the day with a drink on the couch – sometimes he was quiet, and sometimes he liked to talk. Other times he snored.

When thinking of the things that Steve Schultz cared about – the ocean, wildlife, people who worked hard and had less than they deserved, please consider making a donation in his honor to organizations that support these causes.

A celebration of life will he held at Narley Dude Ranch and Equestrian Center at 4965 Steelhead Drive, Kelseyville, at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 19.

Please come and honor Steve's memories, share stories and spend some time toasting a man who will be missed by many.
