Matthew Lewis Tutton, 30, passed away Friday, April 3, 2020 at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, IN following a brief illness. He was born in Munster, Indiana and is the son of Lewis and Terri (Leamer) Tutton. He attended Snider High School and Trine University. In his early years Matthew found his passion on a BMX bike, racing at tracks across the Midwest. In his teen years that passion turned to lacrosse, earning all-state honors in high school and playing into college. He had a lifelong love of art, but eventually found his ultimate calling in simply being a doting father, loving fiancé, protective big brother and extremely loyal friend.
Surviving are his parents; fiancée, Tessa Carpenter; daughter, Harley; siblings, Seth and Grace; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Carl and Beverly (White) Leamer and George and Jewel (Seiber) Tutton. Graveside services will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to Harley's educational fund in care of Lewis Tutton. Arrangements entrusted to D.O. McComb and Sons Covington Knolls Funeral Home.
