Schulze, Shawn Micheal
Shawn M. Schulze, 49, of Colchester, CT beloved husband, and father passed away suddenly on May 2, 2025. Born May 7, 1975, in Hartford, Shawn lived for his three children Evelyn, Nathaniel and Mackenzie in addition to his devoted wife Robyn Sleath.
Shawn was a winner in life, facing challenges with incredible strength and resilience. Triumphantly he defeated childhood cancer. Doctors believed it would be insurmountable and it would prevent him from having children.
A true friend to many, Shawn possessed a loyal heart and a selfless nature, always prioritizing the needs of others. A dedicated and hardworking employee of Travelers for over 26 years, earning the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Family was paramount to Shawn. He was a supportive, caring, and brilliant father, guiding his children with love and wisdom.
He was also a cherished son to his mother, Marie Lodge, a beloved brother to Mark Lodge and sister to Michelle Schultz, and a fun-loving uncle to all his nieces and nephews. Shawn's legacy of love, loyalty, and strength will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be severely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Shawn was a beacon of quiet strength and unwavering support. His dedication was unmatched, and his confidence inspired those around him. He never hesitated to help—always ready, always kind. We miss you and pray for peace and comfort for the entire family. - Godwin Charles
I was saddened to hear of Shawn's passing. He was a wonderful guy who brought joy and positivity to our workplace. He had a nice sense of humor on our long conference calls and was a joy to talk to. Sending the family love and strength as you navigate through this heartbreaking time.
I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Shawn. I kept thinking about it as it was just a dream. In our time working together in IT Systems Support, Shawn wasn’t just a smart and dependable teammate — he was the kind of person who made everything a little better just by being there. Whether he was solving a tough technical issue or cracking a perfectly timed joke, Shawn brought both brilliance and lightness into every room.
What I’ll always remember most is how genuinely caring and generous he was. He never hesitated to help, to listen, or to lift someone’s spirits. He had that rare gift of making people feel seen and supported — and he did it effortlessly.

I was very lucky to have worked with Shawn.
He brought a keen intelligence, insight, and calmness to the problems and projects he worked on.
With Shawn on the call, the rest of us on the conference call just relaxed a little, which helped all of us troubleshoot.
I will miss his wry wit, too.
My Condolences to Robyn, Evelyn, Nathaniel, Mackenzie, Marie, Mark and Michelle.
Rest in Peace, Shawn.
Shawn, you will be missed . You were one of the first few people when I immigrated to USA and started on a new project at Travelers and you were a big supporter and a guide in my initial days . Sending prayers to Shawn’s family.
