Jayson Lee Sutliff

Jayson Lee Sutliff, 48, of Indianapolis, passed away at his home on November 13, 2022, after a long battle with his mental health. Jayson was born on May 13, 1974, to Richard Lee Sutliff and Susie (McNaught) Bahowick; Jayson’s father preceded him in death.

Jayson attended Perry Meridian High School in Indianapolis and Darlington High School in Wisconsin. After high school, Jayson took an interest in construction. He was skilled in many construction crafts and worked for himself as a general contractor until his passing.

Jayson was excellent with technology, especially computers. His technically inclined and brilliant mind gave him the ability to fix and create anything he wanted. Jayson had the greatest sense of humor of any person we’ve ever known. He was telling stories and making jokes since he could talk. It was nearly impossible for him to walk into a room without getting someone to laugh from the deepest parts of their soul.

Along with his father, Jayson was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Thomas and Betty (Livengood) McNaught.

Survivors include his mother and stepfather, Susie and Tony Bahowick; his siblings, Jessica Bahowick (Anthony Polito), Jeremy Sutliff (Carmi), J.J. Bahowick (Hannah Berkovich), and Brody Bahowick; a number of extended family members and devoted friends, including Eric Hock, who cared for Jayson just as much as his family did.
