Virgil M. "Hutch" Hutcheson

Hutch was a spiritual father to so many, many teens. There are no words to express or explain to anyone the affect Hutch and his Diakos had on all of our lives. Eternity was changed in those years and I am so grateful to have been a part of his life. His example in life was that He always propped up Jesus in front of himself, even in times of great grief. He lived a life so entwined with God that it was like a spiritual dance, you couldn't tell where God began and Hutch ended. I pray that...

My time with Hutch and the Diakos was short, but he left a lasting impression in my life. Miriam (Yaney) Andrade

I have got to say, I cant believe how hard this has hit me. I feel such an emptiness inside at the fact I cant just drop by and see my Papa. Although I truly believe and rejoice that he is with his Father in heaven and so many loved ones who went before him, there is a huge pain in my chest at the loss of such an amazing person. I miss all the trips with him guest pastoring, in which he would always find a Red Lion for Sunday breakfast and I miss just sitting and talking with him. What a...

I always loved it when we would be at a family dinner and after praying for the meal, still holding hands, we would "shake the love around." I love you and miss you Papa.

We can only say that you will be missed and are so very happy that you will no longer have pain but joy in seeing face to face the Lord you have served so well during life.

Hutch always had the biggest smile! He has blessed our lives, and I know that Heaven is a little brighter because he is there, now. Hugs to Bob, Cheryl, Becky and John and families.

I only met you a few times, when we were preparing for my dad's wedding (Frank and Bea Felch) over 20 years ago but I could tell how warm, compassionate and caring you were. Daddy and Bea always spoke very highly of you, and how much you cared for others. I know you are now at peace with your wife and family in heaven. My condolences to those you left behind here..........

Hutch personified Psalm 91 and the effect of his faith was exponential. He was the real deal, a real man of God, so patient with all of us (esp Cindy and me). I rejoice that he's with the Lord and all my Love goes out to his beautiful family.
