Arthur Thomas Mueller

Arthur Thomas Mueller, age 78, of Hastings, formerly of Battle Creek, MI, completed his earthly journey and went to be with his beloved Heavenly Father on December 12, 2011 after a 17 year journey battling non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

He is preceded in death by his father, Walter Earnest Mueller; mother, Eleanore Antoinette (Gearhart) Mueller; brother, Carl Mueller and sister-in-law, Marcia Mueller.

Arthur graduated from Battle Creek Central High School, class of 1951. He also attended a draftsman vocational school and was a mechanical engineer at E.W. Bliss for 37 years. Art faithfully provided and dearly loved his family - for his mother during hard times growing up to provision for his wife and children. He loved to hear the results of his grandchildren's sport competitions. Through the years, he also kept in touch with extended family and friends out of state. He was a "family man" in every sense of the word. He was a faithful man of God's Word and work in this world, supporting several missionaries of the First Baptist Church of Hastings as well as teaching Sunday School for many years. One of his favorite verses: John 20:31 - "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."
