William LUTZ Obituary

November 15, 1935 - October 17, 2024

Spokane - William "Bill" Stephen Lutz, a devoted father, grandfather, former pastor, and social worker, passed away on October 17, 2024, in Spokane, Washington. He was 88 years old.

A man of deep faith and compassion, Bill dedicated much of his life to serving others, both through his ministry and his work in social services. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to helping those in need left an indelible mark on the lives of many.

Bill was the beloved husband of Mary Lutz, who preceded him in death in 2015. He was the loving father of four sons: Jim (Cindy) Lutz, Tom Lutz, Chris (Lisa) Lutz, and Steve Lutz, who preceded him in death. He was also a proud grandfather to seven grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride.

His legacy of faith, service, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
