Christopher Hatton

Columbus

Christopher Allen Hatton, 37, of Columbus, died unexpectedly at 6:31 p.m. Monday, May 29, 2017, at St. Vincent Hospital-Indianapolis.

Christopher was a member of First Baptist Church and worked at Toyota as an Assistant Team Leader for many years. He loved spending time with family and friends. He was an avid golfer, taking up the sport at a very early age when his grandfather, “Big Daddy,” first put a club in his hands. Christopher also loved music of all genres, eventually becoming very good at playing the drums. While in high school, he learned the craft of welding. Using this skill, he not only made a career but also took pride in making a variety of art-inspired metalwork pieces for decoration and as gifts.

The funeral will be conducted at 10 a.m. Saturday at Barkes, Weaver & Glick Funeral Home on Washington Street with Dr. Daniel Cash officiating. Calling will be Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. until time of the service at the funeral home. Entombment will be at Garland Brook Mausoleum.
