John J. Schuetz

John J. Schuetz, age 85, of Pine Bluff, Ark., passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022, in the company of his loving daughters, Heidi and Linda. He was born September 6, 1937, in Katharina, Banat, Yugoslavia, and immigrated to the US in 1952. John worked as a plant manager for Illinois Tool Works and was an avid real estate investor. He had an admirable work ethic, but always made time for activities he enjoyed.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Johann Schuetz and Anna Furman; brother, Alfred Fuhrmann; brother-in-law Michael Weissmann and the love of his life, Valerie Schuetz. He is survived by his two daughters: Heidi Epperson and her husband Jim of Rogers, and Linda Smith of Hot Springs. John is also survived by his sister Anna Weissmann and sister-in-law Elena Fuhrmann, both of Illinois; his brother Eric Fuhrmann and wife Jean, of Michigan; and by his beloved granddaughters Emma, Sophie, Sarah, Caroline, and Kate.
