Robert David Lutz

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the peaceful passing of Robert David Lutz, age 65, at his home, surrounded by love, on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Born on May 18, 1961, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Rob lived a life full of adventure, kindness, and a spirit that will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Known fondly as Rob, he was the beloved husband of Irene, loving father of LeeAnn (John) Van Hoef, and proud grandfather of Andrew. He leaves behind his dear sisters, Mary (Clint) Houser and Carol (Thomas) Rossi. He was a cherished uncle to Danny, Kevin, and Lyndsey. Rob was preceded in death by his loving parents, Edward Sr. and Mary Lutz, and his brothers, Edward Jr. and Raymond, who have warmly welcomed him into their eternal embrace.

Rob was a man whose heart was as vast as the great outdoors he so loved. Whether fishing by the lake, hunting in the woods, or tending to his farm and tractors, he found solace and happiness in nature’s embrace. His love for handyman projects showcased his skill and ingenuity, while his fearless and outgoing personality drew people to him.

In his passing, Rob’s family extends their heartfelt gratitude to his caregivers and the kind friends and neighbors who provided unwavering support and compassion during his final days.

In loving memory of Rob, cards and condolences may be sent to his wife, Irene.
