In Loving Memory of Terry Schultz

In Loving Memory of Terry Schultz

Avon — With profound sorrow, we remember and honor the life of Terry Schultz, 64, whose life was tragically lost in a devastating crash at noon today in Avon. What unfolded in a matter of seconds has left a lasting impact on family, friends, and the entire community who now mourn the sudden loss of a man deeply loved and respected.

According to the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department, multiple eyewitnesses reported that a Freightliner semi-truck with a trailer was traveling eastbound on US 36 when it ran a red light at the intersection of CR 525E. The semi struck a northbound Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Terry. The force of the collision pushed his vehicle across the grass median, where it then collided with a stationary Chrysler Sebring in the westbound left-turn lane. Terry was pronounced dead at the scene.

Crash reconstruction specialists remain at the intersection conducting a detailed investigation, and portions of the roadway are partially closed as authorities continue their work. While officials focus on understanding the exact circumstances, the community focuses on grieving a life that meant far more than the tragedy that ended it.

Terry Schultz was 64 years old — an age that reflects decades of living, loving, and building meaningful relationships. He was not simply a driver involved in a crash; he was a husband, a father, perhaps a grandfather, a neighbor, and a friend. His life was woven into the fabric of his community through shared moments, conversations, laughter, and acts of kindness that often go unseen but are never forgotten.

Those who knew Terry remember his steady presence and the wisdom that comes from years of experience. He was someone people could rely on — dependable, caring, and grounded. Whether through his work, his friendships, or his role within his family, Terry made a difference in quiet but lasting ways. His passing leaves an emptiness that cannot be measured, a silence where his voice once offered comfort and familiarity.

In the midst of heartbreak, the Avon community stands together, offering support to Terry’s loved ones. Tragedies like this remind us how fragile life truly is — how an ordinary day can shift in an instant. They also remind us to hold tight to the people we cherish, to express love openly, and to never take a single moment for granted.

Though Terry’s life was cut short far too suddenly, his legacy lives on in the memories he created and the love he shared. His story does not end at an intersection; it continues in the hearts of those who carry him with them each day.

May his family find strength in one another during this unimaginable time.

May friends honor his memory by sharing stories and keeping his spirit alive.

And may Terry Schultz rest in eternal peace — forever remembered, forever loved.
