It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Arthur Robert Kessler Jr. on July 20th, 2024, at age 59. He was born to Arthur Robert Kessler Sr. and Sandra Gail Summers on June 16th, 1965, in St. Louis, MO. He was a resident of Noblesville, IN since July of 2014. He graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School in 1983. He married Deanna Rose Arnett on 12/12/2009, in Fishers, IN. Arthur (Art or Butch as his family called him) worked for Circle City Contractors as Lead Superintendent Safety Coordinator since 2020. He was very dedicated to his family and enjoyed his hobbies of boating, building/flying his remote-controlled drones and airplanes. He also enjoyed designing and printing several items on his 3D printer. One of his other loves was music. Over a period of many years, he gave his time to more than one Masonic organization. He is survived by his wife Deanna Rose Kessler; his older sister, Kim Rachelle Kessler; his younger sister, Andrea Kay Tohill-Kessler; his daughter, Alexandrea Ann Hutson (Eli) and three Grandchildren; his son, Clinton Robert Kessler; son, Uriah Barcus (Ashley): Lyndsay Polson (Zach) three Grandchildren; Jaylin Barcus (who called Art “ARCHER”); his niece, Jessica Gail Henson and two nephews, Kyle Grant Tohill (who called Art “BooBoo”) & Aaron Mason Tohill; He was very opinionated when it mattered to aid someone in need. When someone asked his opinion about something he was always honest, straight forward, and direct even though it might hurt their feelings. As he grew older, he realized what mattered to him most in life… the love he had for family and doing things that mattered the most to those around him. Close friends and family are invited to Flanner & Buchanan – Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, 9700 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis, 46250 for the viewing Wednesday July 24, from 4:00pm to 8:00pm with the Masonic Service at 7:00pm. The visitation on Thursday July 25th from 11:00 am to 12:00 Noon. Services will start at 12:00 Noon with graveside services following to reminisce and honor the life of Art! Words will never express the hole that he has left in all of our hearts and minds.
