Michael Rutt Obituary
Michael Brian Rutt, 39, of Oviedo, FL, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Michael was dearly loved by his wife Katherine (Pare) Rutt and their children Preston, Meredith and Addison and their two Golden-doodles, Molly and Maggie. His wife and children were his entire world. He would do anything for them and enjoyed attending all events they were involved in. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle for him and his family was his number one priority. Michael was born in Ephrata, PA on November 10, 1977 and was looking forward to celebrating his 40th birthday with family and friends. He graduated from Ephrata Senior High School and continued on to receive his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from UMBC. He earned his Master's Degree in Software Engineering from Penn State Great Valley. He was employed by Lockheed Martin as a Software Architect. Family was everything to him. He was a devoted father, husband, son and brother. His personality was contagious and he knew how to make you laugh in any situation. He loved Apple products and was always one of the first to own the newest device. He was an entrepreneur whose passion was to explore new avenues of the technology world. Michael is also survived by his parents Jeff and Cindy (Hummer) Rutt of Ephrata PA, and his two sisters Karen (Rutt) wife of Ryan Martzall of Ephrata PA, and Amy (Rutt) wife of Kevin Martin of Lititz PA. In addition, he will also be lovingly remembered by his Nanny, aunts, nephews, cousin and many loyal family members and friends. We will dearly miss our best friend and protector. Please join us in celebrating his life. A viewing will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2017, from 10 AM to 12 PM at the Ephrata Church of the Brethren, 201 Crescent Avenue, Ephrata, followed by funeral services at 12 PM, with Pastor Rob Eshelman officiating. Interment will take place in the Lincoln Cemetery. Arrangements by Stradling Funeral Homes, Inc., Akron/Ephrata. Online condolences can be given at stradlingfuneralhome.com

The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand.
Be silent. Only the hand of God can remove the burdens of your heart.
