James Henry Schacht

James Henry Schacht passed away unexpectedly on March 27, 2022 at the age of 71. Jim passed at home in Morgan Hill, California, with his loving wife Christina by his side.

Jim lived an extraordinary life, full of many adventures and memories. Jim had the biggest heart and his love for people could be seen in all aspects of his life. Jim was also well know for his sense of humor, always cracking jokes. Everyone that knew him loved him. Jim retired from Albertsons and spent his golden years working for Nabisco, golfing, traveling with his wife and having breakfast with friends. But the thing that was closest to his heart was his family. Jim would often say, "family is everything, without it, you have nothing."

A true testament of Jim's love, is the family he leaves behind his wife, Christina Schacht; his beautiful daughter, Ashlee Densmore and her husband Andrew of Sacramento, CA; three sons, Brian Schacht of Sacramento, CA, Michael Schacht of Martinez, CA, Justin Schacht and his wife Autumn of Huntsville, AL. Jim also leaves behind his two stepsons, Ryan Kacer and his wife Jeanette and Joseph Kacer and his wife Nydia, both from Morgan Hill, CA.

But Jim's true pride and joy were his 13 grandchildren: Madelyn, Blair, Alexis, Ethan, Mason, Jordan, Kameron, Ida Jane, Austin, Blake, Adrianna, Jacob and Joseph.

Jim also leaves behind his brother, Wesley Schacht and his family from Ohio; his niece, Robin Stackpoole and her family from Michigan. Jim was preceded in death by his parents and brother.

Please keep the Schacht family in your prayers as they mourn such a great loss. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please send donations to the American Heart Association in Jim's name, an organization that is near and dear to the Schacht family.
