Danny Charles Schartz

Danny Schartz, 70, of Pantego, Texas, passed away Friday, September 4, 2020 peacefully at his home - surrounded by loved ones. Danny was born November 25, 1949 in Great Bend, Kansas to Chuck and Georgia Schartz.
He graduated from Diamond Hill Jarvis High School in Ft Worth, Texas. In 1976 Danny was deployed with the United States Army to Vietnam. Upon returning home Danny graduated from UTA in 1977 with a degree in Sociology. On May 26, 1979, Danny married the love of his life, Pamela Abono. The couple recently celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary. Danny was a star athlete who excelled in many sports - most notably baseball. Upon returning home from Vietnam he found himself at a Pro League tryout for the Cincinnati Reds. He was passionate about music and even made trips to Nashville to pitch songs, written by friends, to publishing companies. Danny was known as a soft-spoken man who always encouraged others to “Love One Another” even in the midst of disagreements. He didn’t “sweat the small stuff “and lived as an example others could look up to. Danny’s life was transformed by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and sought daily to show this love to others by his actions and encouragement. He was truly a reflection of the Father’s love for his children. Love for his friends, family, colleagues and even strangers was evident throughout his life. He was always slow to speak and quick to listen: these are just a few threads of the legacy he has left.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chuck and Georgia Schartz.

SURVIVORS: Danny is survived by his wife, Pamela Schartz; his sons Jordan Schartz, Matthew Schartz and wife Jessica, twin daughters, Summer Carter and husband Markus, and Danielle Jenkins and husband Jonathan and Grandson Jake. He is also survived by his siblings: Sandra Little, Robert Schartz, Debra Ney and Pam Pitts.
