I had the great honor of knowing Deanna at Wind River. I graduated with her and she was a great person back then. I have many wonderful memories of Deanna. It seems that not much has changed. My condolences go out to the family of this wonderful lady. She will be deeply missed.

Dear Brian and Family,
Scott and I want to extend our condolences and send you our sympathy. We are deeply saddened of the death of Deanna. You and the family are much in our hearts and prayers these days. Deanna's beautiful and quick smile was a blessing to so many.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Hank and Ruth Kusel

Deanna was one of my favorite students at Wind River. She was positive, supportive, and had a ready smile for everyone she met. I saw her on Tuesday at the Ranger, and she stopped a moment and visited with me. I was deeply saddened to hear of her death two days later. When an individual spreads so much happiness, the void that remains when they depart seems endless.

The hole that she leaves in your lives will be difficult to fill, but please remember her smile, her laughter, and all of the wonderful memories that you shared with her. The Lord blessed all who knew Deanna. Now, let Him help you through the difficult days ahead.

Deepest sympathy,

Nancy Stearns
Deanna's English teacher at Wind River

Mr. Shultz,

It really bothers me that something like this can happen to such a good, kind hearted person like you. I've really been praying for you, your kids, and family. You're just such a respected person and I hate to see someone like you dealing with such a horrible loss. You'll further be in my prayers and thoughts.

Brian my heart and soul goes out to you and the kids right now, You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Brian,

I am thinking of you and praying for your family. If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate.

To Deanna Diane Shultz Family,
I had known Deanna when we were in grade school. She was a very special friend, I had grown up with her from the first grade to the eigth grade. We had not seen each other much after that but when we ran into each other in stores, she was always so pleasant and nice. The last time I saw her was last year in August during the fair in Riverton. She looked so happy with her family. I just wanted to say how sorry I was to read in the paper of your loss. She will be missed a lot. She had a lot of friends out here on the Wind River Indian Reservation. God Bless You All.

Brian, we were very sorry to hear about your loss. Heartfelt thoughts and deepest sympathy from Marc, Lana, Easton, and Luke Dolan.

Brian and Family,

Words cannot describe our heartfelt thoughts to all of you during this time. We will always remember Deanna as a happy, fun loving person. I wish I could be there, but know that we are thinking of you and your family.

Brian and Family,

Our hearts are heavy with the loss you have endured. We send our prayers and love during this difficult time. Please know that all of your friends are with you to help strengthen and encourage you and your family!

You do not know me, but I knew Deanna as a little girl. I left wyoming before she grew up but have seen pictures etc thru a mutual friend. I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm also grieving so much for the Hyatt family and the pain that they are in right now. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers!!

To Deanna's Family;
Words do not come easy at a time like this. Deanna was a great person who had a great sense of humor. No matter what the situation was, she always seemed to have a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed by all of the people who's lives she touched.

Brian, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I just wanted to let you know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. From an old friend, Stacey Link (Bakker)

Brian and kids,
Please know that you are in our thoughts. It is hard to imagine what is going on in someone's head at the time of a suicide. I have thought endlessly about this over the weekend and still have a hard time grasping the fact that she is not going to be around anymore.Deanna was a very special person. I admired her for many years. First as a star-struck little Wind River Cougar. She was the hero of lots of us little kids at Wind River. She was nice to everyone, even little kids who would go watch her games. After that I knew her from Smiths. She was friendly and helpful, always asking about the kids, my mom, etc... She was one of the only checkers that would go get her own price check. I'd see her take off running through the store to find a price instead of waiting for someone else to find the price for her. Such energy! Deanna's smile would light up the room. Her sunny attitude was contagious. Even if I was in a bad mood when I went into the store, after seeing her I would feel better. When she was pregnant with Kylan she was so excited and after he was born we would compare notes on our boys. She loved those kids so much. When the kids started baseball, there you both were. The Shultz' and their lateness was legendary in Riverton. Maybe it was from all those years on the rez? Who knows, but we knew we could start once you guys got there with your two little look alike kiddos. I remember talking to Deanna when she was going to work for the Ranger. She was excited, but I'm sure that many people missed seeing her at Smith's, I know I did. But I still would see her around, driving, busy as usual. I admire you both for the time you put into coaching and being part of the community. Shultz team will go down in Riverton history as citizens who deeply care about the kids of Riverton.
Brian, I do not know what you and Deanna were going through before this happened. It is not the public's business. Just know that there are many many people who grieve Deanna's passing and remember the good that she brought to many lives. I hope your kids will grow up knowing she loved them and was in a dark place to even consider leaving them. Keep each other close, surround yourself with positive people and your pain will eventually ease to a dull ache. No one will forget Deanna, but more importantly, we will not forget those she left behind, mainly you and the kids. Although Deanna is no longer here physically, her spririt will remain in the community by the lives she touched. Her thoughtful ways were seen by each and every person she came in contact with. Please know that we pray your pain will ease and you will remember the good times you had with her.
Fondly,
Tania and Brian Dion

Deanna was loved by many people, and we all will remember her forever. Jeannie Portlock

Dear Brian, Jacee and Kylan,

Cody and I, along with Brady and Baylor, would like to send our thoughts, prayers and love to you and your family. I first met Deanna when we attended Central Wyoming College together. We kept in touch after Cody and I left Riverton and moved to Cheyenne but really reconnected with her and your family after moving back to Riverton. She was one of the most bubbly people we had ever met. She was very proud of you and your children, that was always evident by what she said and the excitement she brought when she was saying it.

She is missed and will always be missed by those whose lives she touched.

With our love and prayers,

Cody, Robyn, Brady and Baylor Beers

Brian, Jacee, Kylan, and Family,

To the Shultz and Hyatt Families:

My heart aches dearly for you. I have loved and adored Deanna for many years. My twin, Cate and I became fast friends with Deanna when we moved out to Boulder Flat. Although we moved from Boulder Flat at a very young age, we always remained in touch with this indisputably enjoyable personality. So many memories flood my mind but one that I will cherish always, is Deanna playing the part of “The Hobo” in the Stars of Tomorrow with Cate and I. We were approximately 6 years old and of course, we took first place in that skit! What a gift we each were given to have known such a precious individual. May you be comforted today and each day reflecting on the gift of your beautiful memories of Deanna. You are not alone and my thoughts and sincere prayers are with you at this time and always.

God Bless,
Christy Kimber (Hessling)

To Deanna's family and friends:

We just heard of Deanna's sudden passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the precious memories that you have of her bring you comfort and peace.

To the Dear Hyatt and Shultz Families,

Each of us are saddened by the loss of our Dear Deanna! Words cannot express how deep a Love and concern we have for each of you, during this heartfelt time of grief. I was blessed to grow up on Boulder Flats, when Deanna and her familly moved across the road. We, ( my twin sister Christy, Deanna and I )became instant friends. We attended Mill Creek School and were never lacking for something to do, as she was a very vibrant, kind young lady. Deanna carried all of those wonderful traits into her adult life as well. She will always hold a very special place in my heart. The precious memories that I have been blessed with, have now become a gift from God. I am reminded of a scripture verse that I pray will encourage each of you.

" I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

With Much Sympathy, Cate Wyrick (Hessling)

I have only the happiest of memories. Thank you for sharing her with us for too brief a time.

Carolyn Tyler with the Riverton Ranger

Mr Shultz
Im sorry to hear about your wife. You and your kids are in my prayers. Tyler Pena

Henri Nouwen:
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.Let those who love you help. Look your children in their eyes and there you will see Deanna and all the love, joy, beauty and greatness of the world.

BRIAN SHULTZ AND FAMILLY;

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW OUR HOUSEHOLD HAS YOUR FAMILY IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE ARE VERY SORRY.

PAUL, BARBARA, COLTON, KAYLA, AND CODIE POLLARD

To the Hyatt Family,
I always remember Deanna having a smile on her face. She was such a sweet and sincere person that everyone will miss.
Every time my wife and I talked to Deanna we always would compliment on what a fine person she was. We were blessed to have known her.
Please know that we share in your grief and have you and Deanna in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts an prayers are with you. I went to high school with Deanna and we always had a lot of fun. She was a great campain manager for me when I ran for student body president. I won! Volleyball, basketball and track wouldn't have been the same without her!! I know she will be greatly missed.

To Brian and Wally and Carole,
I hope you all know that everyone is thinking about you and wishing there was something we could do to help ease this pain you are suffering. You have wonderful friends in Riverton who will be there for you. Our thoughts are with you and those precious children. In friendship, Jerra and Ron Davis

Mr. Shultz, Jacee, and Kylan
On behalf of my kids Thomas, Aaron and Amanda Coldiron, and myself I want you to know that you are not alone at this time in your life. The first time I met Deanna was in the fall of 1985 when I attended Wind River.(as a fightened freshman)But she was always very happy,smiling, and outgoing. So high school didnt seem so bad. It was so nice to be able to see her at the kids school in Riverton off and on after so many years of wondering where she was. It was obivious, she has adorable children and a husband who I know my son apprecaites as a math teacher, and a person in general. My heart goes out to Jacee and Kylan, for I know what it feels like when a mother takes her life at their age. My dad then raised my sister and I. Regardless of the situations, it still hurts and the unknown is still there. Everyone asks why? I havent found an answer to why, but I have found how to be compassionate, and non judgemental, to everyones situations. And I pass this down on to my children. Deanna will be missed. Mr. Shultz, I have no doubt that you will be able to get through this most hardest time in your life, because you have two children, that believe it or not, will help you in their own ways.

In our thoughts
Paula(Pribbernow)Fegler..mother of Thomas,Aaron,and Amanda Coldiron

There are never the right words to express the sadness we feel for your loss. Deanna has left behind memories that will live in your mind forever. Please know, at this difficult time that you are not alone.

Brian and Family,

I've been searching for the right words or a profound statement to help you through this difficult time. At this time words are hard to find so instead I'll offer you my prayers. My prayer for you will be that in time you will find peace, and hope, and understanding. And on the days that are difficult you take rest in and find strength from those who care for you and are praying for you.

My sincere consolences.

Mr Shultz,

I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your wife. I have always respected and admired you and I am sorry for the pain you have to go through. Please know that I am thinking about you and wish I could do more to help you. You always were there to help me and I wish I could do more for you.

Dear Brian,

I am so sorry about Deanna. I always remember her with the greatest smile and always a happy story or event to tell about her children and family. I am very sorry for all the pain your are going through. My prayers are always with you. My very deepest sympathy, Sandy

I had the pleasure of coaching Deanna for her two years at Central Wyoming College. I remember her work ethic and down-to-earth ways. She only complained a little when she thought I asked too much of her. She was a lady and cowgirl (which takes a little juggling). She had a ready smile for friend and stranger alike. She was the type of person who put the team ahead of herself. And she really was smarter than a fifth-grader.
I am shocked by what happened and especially saddened for those closest to her. Words are important but they sure seem to fall short at times like these. To Brian and the kids: hug each other often, as though each hug were going to be the last one. Remember the good; keep it close to your heart and try to let it show in your face. Let the bad become nothing more than a dim memory and a place for the pain which must seem so constant now. Be each other's source of hope that the long lives you have ahead of you will be filled with love and peace of spirit. And remember that smile... And especially remember that smile...
God Bless you all.

Brian, Jacee and Kylan,
We want you to know that we will miss Deanna, we are thinking of you
daily. Our love and prayers are with you.
Bill and Darlene Carpenter

I (Darlene) lost my Mother the same way, I certainly understand the heartbreak you are going through. I have been through a lot of counseling over this. I would be happy to talk with you any time, if you would like.

Condolences to Brian & Children: We Thank God for meeting/speaking with Deanna for the precious time she was here. She will be sadly missed.
God Bless.

Brian, Kylan, and Jacee -

Please know that our hearts were broken when we heard about Deanna. She was an absolute treasure to everyone who knew her. We will continue to pray for all of you and just know that if there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know.

Vance, Tish, Kaylee, and Justice Spriggs
