Eldon was a lifelong member of St. Peter Lutheran Church-Fuelling.
He was a lifetime farmer, giving more than 60 years of his life to this occupation.
Eldon enjoyed politics, weather, "Times" and sports. He just enjoyed life to the fullest and had a very simple view of life: one day at a time.
Among survivors are his three sisters, Harriet (Jerome) Fuhrman of New Haven, Vivian (Gene) Thatcher of Willshire, Ohio, and Margene Fuelling of Decatur; one brother, Melvin "Bud" (Sharon) Fuelling of Decatur; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by one brother, Rolland "Mickey" Fuelling.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Peter Lutheran Church-Fuelling, with Pastor Leonard Tanksley officiating. Interment will follow in the St. Peter Lutheran Cemetery-Fuelling.
Visitation will be from 2-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at Zwick & Jahn Funeral Home-Decatur, and one hour prior to services Thursday in the church.
Preferred Memorials are to St. Peter Lutheran Church-Fuelling; Worship Anew; or Heart to Heart Hospice.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

June 3, 2019

Sorry to hear of Eldon's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
