Huntingburg Army Veteran Raymond L. Stetter Dies at 82

Raymond L. Stetter, 82, a Huntingburg native and United States Army veteran, died Friday, January 2, 2026, at his home. Born August 12, 1943, to Valentine and Dolores (Hackman) Stetter, he spent his life rooted in the community where he was born and raised.

Stetter was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and worked for Othmar Klem Cabinet, a local employer that shaped much of his working life. Outside of work, he pursued photography and enjoyed riding his mini bike and motorcycle, pastimes noted by family and community members.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister and brother-in-law, Frances and Edwin Hopf; a brother, Robert Stetter; a sister-in-law, Sandy Stetter; a godchild and nephew, Bradley Hopf; and an infant nephew, Brian Hopf. Survivors include his sister Mary Ann Stetter and brothers James “Shorty” Stetter, accompanied by his wife Mary Kay, and Charles Stetter, all of Huntingburg, as well as nieces and nephews.

Visitation for Stetter was scheduled from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at Nass & Son Funeral Home in Huntingburg, with a funeral mass to follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Church beginning at 11:00 a.m. Burial took place in St. Mary’s Cemetery, where military graveside rites were conducted by V.F.W. Post #2366 Memorial Detail.

Stetter’s passing is notable to residents who knew him through church activities, local employment, and veteran networks. The presence of military honors at his burial reflected his service in the U.S. Army and provided a formal recognition of that service by the community.
