Hayden Michael Fuhs, 23, of Montgomery, Indiana, went home to meet his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, surrounded by his loving family. While at the hospital he received the most compassionate and loving care from the 6th floor oncology nurses and staff.
He was born on September 13, 2002, in Washington, Indiana to Clint and Amber (Gish) Fuhs. He was one of four children. As a child he received The True Hero Award from the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. He was a 2021 Barr-Reeve High School Graduate. While attending school he was a member of Band, Pep Band, Beta Club, and The Daviess County CEO program. Hayden was a 10-year member of 4-H and served as a Junior Leader. Hayden had a passion for History and went on to study this at Indiana Wesleyan and Southern New Hampshire University. While at Indiana Wesleyan University he was a member of the Jazz Band. Hayden’s zest for life was contagious, and he often became the life of the party. He enjoyed trivia, fishing, outdoors, reading, writing, journaling, and playing board games with family and friends. Hayden was known for his quick wit and his ability to make people laugh.
Hayden was blessed to bring people together through his love of playing string instruments, with the guitar being his favorite. He was a natural at connecting and entertaining people with his music whether with friends, family get togethers, or throughout the Community.
Hayden had a heart for the Lord, always a willing vessel to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was an active member of Antioch Bible Church, where he served as assistant worship director. Hayden with his servant’s heart, engulfed the community with Christ’s love. As an expression of his faith, he participated in several mission trips with Providence Mennonite Church. Hayden generously shared his God given gifts and talents at every opportunity—singing in church, at local venues, at weddings, and for those who were sick or in need of comfort.
Hayden was an integral part of growing a young adult bible study group with many of his closest friends, which lead him to meet the love of his life, Anna Stoll.
He was employed at J&R Tool, Inc. in Loogootee, Indiana where he quickly became a valued and well-loved employee.
Hayden will be remembered for his faith, kindness, and the Joy he brought to others; he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Clint and Amber; siblings, Hannah (Caleb) Carrico, Harrison Fuhs, and Hadley Fuhs; nephew and niece, Jude and Daisy Carrico; fiancé, Anna Stoll; paternal grandparents, Mike and Patty Fuhs; maternal grandparents, David and Shari Gish; maternal great-grandmother, Sheila Chaney; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
