Denny C Schuler

SUNRIVER - In Loving Memory

January 25, 1946-April 9, 2024

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Coach Denny Schuler, 78, of Sunriver, Oregon. Denny was born in Monroe, Washington to Robert and Gertrude Schuler. He grew up on a strawberry farm and graduated from Snohomish High School in 1964. Denny was honored to receive a scholarship to play football at the University of Oregon from 1964-1968. He cherished his friendships with his teammates, coaches and Sigma Phi Epsilon Brothers. Denny scored the first Oregon touchdown in Autzen Stadium in 1967 and always had a special place in his heart for his Oregon Ducks. His love of football led him to pursue a career in coaching, where he enjoyed 33 amazing years. He thought of himself as a teacher and took great pride in developing his players and watching them become successful on and off the field. Outside of football, Denny loved to run, golf, play pickleball, sail and travel with family and friends. He had a soft spot for animals and volunteered with many animal rescues over the years.

Denny is survived by his wife, Cindy Schuler, step-daughters; Heather Doan and Melissa Mack. Son-in-Law Kyle Doan; Granddaughters Hannah and Lauren Doan; Son-in-Law Isaiah Mack; Grandchildren Kaya, Sawyer and Capri Mack. He was predeceased by his half sister, Carolyn Boyes of Monroe, Washington. A Celebration to honor Denny will be held at 1pm, May 5, 2024 at the Great Hall in Sunriver, Oregon. Memorial donations may be made to the Humane Society of Central Oregon or Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
