Mitchell Luethye

Mitchell LaMoine Luethye, affectionately known as “Mitch” and “Lutch”, 73, of Davenport, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at MercyOne Genesis in Davenport. A celebration of his life will be held from 2p.m. – 4p.m. on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at Rookies Sports Bar, 2818 N. Brady St, Davenport, Iowa.

Lutch was born August 17, 1951, born to parents Ruth (Petroski) Luethye and LaMoine Schneekloth. For 48 years he shared and cherished a lifelong partnership with Linda Mulligan. She preceded him in death on December 24, 2024.

He was proud to have worked as a Material Handler at the Rock Island Arsenal, JMTC, from which he retired. Lutch was a hard worker who earned several awards over the years recognizing his dedication to his team members and operations. He made many friendships over the years and enjoyed keeping in touch with his friends and coworkers.

Lutch appreciated good music, being a hobbyist, and was intentional to find the good in people and life. He was meticulous, perfectly organized and when it came to local trivia, he was your “lifeline” especially when it came to the city of Davenport.

Those left to honor his memory include his daughter, Amy Archer, of Davenport, and her children Brandon Jones, Brent Money, and Austin McDonald; bonus daughter Mandy (Steve) Brown of Lakewood Ranch, FL, and their children, Josh DeSoto, Sarah (Leo) Rodriguez, Jacob (Taegan) Brown, and Peter (fiancée Maddie) Brown; great-granddaughter Mollie Jones; and his dog Abby who was always by his side.

In addition to his wife Linda, he was preceded in death by his parents, sister Lorene Davis, brothers Melvin and Leonard L., and many extended family members.
