Matthew Alan LucasMatthew Alan Lucas, age 42, and a lifetime Warsaw resident, heartbreakingly passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020, just before 10 a.m. in his Warsaw residence.
The son of the late David Lucas and Diane Grindle Burr, he was born in Warsaw on Jan. 13, 1978. Matt, as most knew him, attended grade school in Atwood and graduated from Warsaw Community High School. He is remembered as laid back, loyal and kind-hearted.
Matt loved music of all kinds and liked working on cars which was fitting as he served in the United States Army as a heavy wheeled mechanic, serving mostly in Landstuhl, Germany. He enjoyed fishing and golf (which he was quite good at) and liked watching sports – especially the Chicago Bears. He attended Harrison Center Church with his family and was saved in faith through Jesus Christ.
More than anything, Matt loved his children, son, Jacob Lucas, of Bourbon (and his mother, Jennifer); and daughter, Makia Lucas, of Warsaw (and her mother, Jerika); – all of whom survive. Also surviving is his mother, Diane (husband, Bill) Burr, of Warsaw; brother, Michael (wife, Stacey) Lucas, of Rineyville, Ky.; sister, Cassie (fiancé, Jason Goble) Burr, of Slidell, La.; two nephews: Chase and Aaron; niece, Emma; aunt, Sue Ann Barker; uncle, Kim (wife, Linda) Grindle; and cousins, Rob Grindle, Lisa (husband, Blaine) Goon and Missy Kid.
He was preceded in passing by his father, David Lucas; and his grandparents.
A Life Celebration® is planned with Titus Funeral Home, 2000 E. Sheridan St., Warsaw, where friends may gather for visitation on Tuesday, Dec. 22 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Matt’s funeral service will begin at 1 p.m. with burial to follow in Oakwood Cemetery.
