COLTON STONE "Utz Lee" MUTZABAUGH

Colton Stone Mutzabaugh (Utz Lee), 24, of Duncannon, PA, passed away on Sunday, December 17, 2023.

Born on August 30, 1999 in Camp Hill, PA, he was a graduate of Susquenita High School, class of 2017.

Colton valued his employer and role as a cook for the Glass Lounge in Harrisburg, where he was treated like family.  He was also a canteen member at the Duncannon VFW, Post 255.

With a fondness for the outdoors, he enjoyed fishing and had a preference for native trout streams.  Colton would also go hiking to many places, often along waterways, to waterfalls, or scenic vistas.  

He also liked a wide variety of music, attended many concerts and festivals, and created a few of his own events with friends.  

As much as he loved his home state, he often took trips to other places he was fond of, including California, Colorado and Canada.  But Colton also went further and traveled overseas with family to Amsterdam, France, Germany, and Switzerland.  

He had a passion for cooking all kinds of foods, with a preference for steak or prime rib.  He also liked eating sushi.  One of his goals was to use his culinary skills to run a food truck business.  His friends really enjoyed his homemade fudge recipe and named it Grandma Utz’s.  

Colton was especially dedicated to staying connected with his family.  The amount of love, time, energy and good vibes he poured into his siblings, family members and closest friends was immeasurable.  He had a way of letting people know how much they were loved and appreciated not just by words, but also by his many positive actions and kind gestures.   

Colton could also light up a room and warm the hearts of anyone who was around, wherever he went.  A true free spirit, he lived his life to the fullest every day.  Family and friends could always count on him and he was deeply committed to making people happy.  His easy going, laid back nature and kind-hearted soul will be greatly missed.  May the memories of him and his spirit live on forever within the lives of those who were close to him.

Surviving are his mother, Melody S. (Fisher) Conklin and her husband, Stephen of Duncannon, his father, Verner Mutzabaugh of Duncannon, 3 brothers; Sidney Mutzabaugh of Duncannon, Tucker Hamilton of Duncannon, Rhythm Conklin of Duncannon, a sister, Elaina Hamilton of Duncannon, maternal grandparents; Ronald & Marcia Andrews of Newport, Randy & April Fisher of Duncannon, paternal grandmother, Mary Brownawell of Newville, uncles and aunts; Jason Andrews of Newport, Valen Buck (Matthew) of Duncannon, Kayce Fisher of Mt.
