Kenny Dale Hutchinson, 73, of Bedford, more commonly known as "Hutch" , 73, passed away Monday, March 24, 2025, at 3:44 PM at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, after losing his battle to myasthenia gravis with complications. He was surrounded by his children, future daughter in-law, and his daughter's best friend.

Born February 8, 1952, he was the son of Kenneth Hutchinson and Phyllis (Chastain) Luttrell. He was raised by his grandparents, Clyde Earnest and Essie Elizabeth (Hoar) Hutchinson, until Clyde's passing in 1980. He then spent his young adulthood in Florida with his mother, where he got his first job bouncing. While in Florida, he gained experience in landscaping. This is where he earned the deep tan that he has so proudly kept his entire life. After enough of the Florida sun, he came back home to Indiana where he proudly worked for his dad, Kenneth, at the 7-UP Bottling Plant until it's closure.

Hutch graduated from Bedford High School in 1971, where he ran track. He loved sports throughout his life as well as playing, coaching and spectating with anyone who would join. He was a youth coach, specifically for his children, and a public volunteer whenever needed. He would give you the shoes off his feet if you needed them. He was a man of Christian faith with no home church, but would happily attend anywhere given an invitation.

He was married April 17, 1993, having two children: Amanda Elizabeth Hutchinson and Evan Kenny Hutchinson, before divorcing in 2004. He spent his many years after his divorce becoming a jack of all trades. This including buying, selling and trading collectables, as well as many small businesses including auctioneering (Hutch's Back 40), and having his own ice cream shop (Cone Heads in Mitchell, IN), to fund his many other dreams such as restoring his old car collection and making woodworks in his massive wood shop.

Surviving to cherish the memory of Kenny is his daughter, Amanda E. Hutchinson; son, Evan Kenny Hutchinson and Fiancée Shannon Fetterly-Phares; siblings, Kent Hutchinson, Kathy Hammel, Kurt (Debbie) Hutchinson and Kevin (Teresa) Hutchinson; along with numerous nieces, nephews  and several great nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Hutchinson and Phyllis Chastain; stepmother, Norma Jean (Turner) Hutchinson; and one half-brother, Terry "Chopper" Marsh.

Funeral services for Hutch will be held on Monday, March 31, 2025, at 1:00pm at the Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne-George Family Funeral Homes in Bedford with Clarence Brown officiating. Visitation will be from 10:00am to 1:00pm, also on Monday, at the Ferguson-Lee Chapel. Cremation will follow
