Randy Luttman

Randy Luttman, 71, of Syracuse, Indiana, passed away peacefully in early October from kidney failure.

Born and raised in Syracuse, Randy was the eldest son of the late Pete and Waneta Luttman. He was a proud graduate of Wawasee High School, where he made close friendships that endured through the years.

As a young adult, Randy enjoyed water skiing, tennis, and golf, spending many happy days on the lakes and courts around Syracuse with friends and family.

Randy was preceded in death by his sister, Cinda Cochran, who passed away just a year earlier. He is survived by his two younger brothers, Michael and Craig Luttman, who always looked up to him with admiration and will always be indebted to him.

Though he never married and had no children, Randy’s life was full of meaning. He was a deeply faithful Christian, known for his strength, generosity, and sincerity. Never one for material things, he valued people over possessions and faith over fortune. Randy’s circle of lifelong friends and church family brought him great joy and companionship throughout his life.

Randy was also a wonderful uncle, known for his fun but no-nonsense approach with kids. He could be a little rough and a little strict, but the kids absolutely loved it. Whether he was teasing, teaching, or setting them straight with a grin, they hung on his every word and couldn’t wait to be around him.

A dedicated sports fan, Randy loved cheering on his favorite teams — the Indiana University Hoosiers, the Indiana Pacers, and the Indianapolis Colts. Whether it was game-day excitement or friendly debates about players and seasons past, Randy’s knowledge of the game was impressive and deeply rooted.

Randy will be remembered for his kind heart, sharp but clever humor, and his unwavering commitment to his faith and the values he lived by.
