Malcom W. Lehman

Malcom W. Lehman, 70, of Berne, Indiana passed away on June 19, 2020 at his residence surrounded by his family following a complicated illness.

He was born on January 14, 1950 in Decatur, Indiana to the late Peter P. Lehman and the late Lydia (Garber) Lehman.

Malcom retired following 34 years of exemplary service with UPS in Fort Wayne as a driver…a great source of pride for him. Following his retirement, he worked at Poplar Quik Stop in Berne for 12 years. He was a 1968 graduate of South Adams High School in Berne where he was the manager of the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Following his graduation, he graduated with an Associate Degree in Electronics from what is now known as Ivy Tech in Fort Wayne.

He was a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local #710.

Being involved with his family was very important to Malcom. He provided a safe haven for his children along with his grandchildren by supporting them in their activities throughout their lives. He was a constant supporter and critic in those activities. Camping was an important family gathering time for him. Many holidays and vacations were spent in campgrounds…with Malcom as the supervisor.

Survivors include his two sons, Jeff (Alyse) Lehman and Joseph Lehman both of Fort Wayne, Indiana; three daughters, Julie (Robert) Buuck of Decatur, Indiana, Jodi (Aaron) Sluder of Ossian, Indiana, and Jeanene Lehman of Fort Wayne, Indiana; three sisters, Carol Lehman of Berne, Indiana, Sandy (Charles) Fowler of Noblesville, Indiana, and Gail Lengerich of Berne, Indiana; two brothers, Gaylord Lehman of Decatur, Indiana and Olin Lehman of Berne, Indiana; seven grandchildren, Gregg Buuck, Paxton Lehman, Emma Buuck, Madison Lehman, Camden Sluder, Cortland Sluder, and Bristol Lehman.
