Timothy D. Fuhrmann, 41, of Fort Wayne, Indiana passed away early Saturday morning, November 7, 2026, at his residence following an unexpected medical event. He was born on November 26, 1984 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to Larry and Rae Lynne (Hormann) Fuhrmann.
A 2003 graduate of Bellmont High School, Tim honed his craft with Buchan Logging in New Haven before becoming the proud co-owner and operator of Triple S Logging in Decatur. An exceptional woodsman, he knew his timber and possessed the rare skill of making every tree fall exactly where it was needed. Tim was a faithful member of St. John Lutheran Church, Bingen, and a familiar face at the Poe Conservation Club, where he spent countless hours sharpening his marksmanship.
Beyond his work, Tim lived life with boundless energy, generosity, and an unmistakable sense of humor. He was a dedicated competitor in the 9 Mile Golf League for a decade, an avid drag racing fan who hadn’t missed an event in twenty years, and was always up for a lively game of cards, dice, or tavern trivia. For Tim, the Fourth of July was a year-round celebration fueled by his passion for fireworks. He had a sharp eye for a bargain—whether scouring online auctions for gems like his prized “Tim’s Table,” or finding a fixer-upper to restore and resell. Known for his colorful words of wisdom, his love for homemade Chex Mix and green bean casserole, and his habit of running on his own personal version of “Tim time,” he gave freely of his time, talents, and treasures, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, hard work, and deep love for those around him.
He is survived by parents, Larry and Rae Lynne Fuhrmann of Decatur, Indiana; brother, Matthew (Amy) Fuhrmann of Fort Wayne, Indiana; two sisters, Anna (Shannon) Selzer and Kathryn (Troy) Palacios both of Decatur, Indiana; girlfriend, Ashley Sabine of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and nephews and nieces, Mackenzie Selzer, Xavior Palacios, Elizabeth Selzer, Benjamin Selzer, and Olivia Palacios.
Funeral services for Tim will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, November 16, 2026, at St. John Lutheran Church, Bingen with Pastor Daniel Dahling officiating. Burial will follow at St. John Lutheran Cemetery, Bingen.
Friends and family will be received from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at Zwick & Jahn Funeral Home in Decatur and from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. on Monday prior to the service at the church.
