Reign Francis Schulte

It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our precious son, Reign Francis Schulte, who left this world far too soon. 

Reign was born on March 2, 2024, to Shawn and Anna Schulte, and big brother Roman.  Reign passed peacefully on December 8, 2024 in the loving arms of his mother. 

Reign’s life was a true miracle. He was born 10 weeks early weighing 1lb 13oz. He spent 185 days at St. Louis Children’s Hospital before making his much-anticipated homecoming to family and friends. 

Reign’s bright brown eyes and infectious smile brought warmth to everyone who met him. His giggles, his snuggles, his curious nature, and the way his tiny hands reached out for the world will forever be remembered. He had a spirit that was pure and full of wonder, bringing joy to family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to share a moment with him. 

Though his life was brief, he taught us the true meaning of love, patience, and the importance of cherishing every precious moment.

Reign is survived by his loving parents, Shawn and Anna, his doting brother Roman, his Grandparents, Virgil and Carol Schulte, John Cox and Nancy Tennison. Uncles, Aunts and Cousins, Erik, Lori, Valori and Eli Eslinger and Walker, Sarah, Lydia and Eli Wilhoit. 

Reign is preceded in death by his great grandparents Norbert and Anna Schulte, August “Gus” and Anna Mae Maire, Ralph Basnett, Francis Cox Jr. and Mary Ellen Wunsch, Herbert and Norma Tennison.

Though Reign’s time here was too short, his memory will forever be a light that guides us. We find comfort knowing that he knew nothing but unconditional love during his time on earth.

Rest peacefully, our sweet boy. You are in God’s arms now, and we will carry you with us, always.
