David Hutton

David Bradley Hutton passed away on Sep 12, 2024 at Billings Clinic in Billings, MT with a loving family by his side.

David was born on April 12, 1947, in Albany, N.Y., the second child of John and Helen Hutton. He graduated from a private high school in Palm Beach, FL and went on to college in Denver, CO. He worked for a number of years in CO before moving to Sheridan, WY to be closer to family. His parents, John and Helen Hutton of Earlysville, VA preceded him in death as well as his grandparents William and Sarah Hutton of England and Robert and Beatrice Nichols of Binghamton, N.Y.

He is survived by his sister, Anne (Bruce) Zimmerschied of Sheridan. His nephews Brian (Lorrie) Shreve of Port St. Lucie, FL; Scott (Aimee) Shreve of Buffalo, WY and their two children, Tyler and Tiffanie; James (Jennifer), Shreve of Nome, Alaska and their children, Jonathan, Derrick and Danner. His niece, Barbara Anne (Wayne) Mitchell of Sheridan and their children, Dawson, Walker and Reece. He is survived by his brother, John (Kathryn) Hutton of Palmyra, N.Y. and his two nieces, Sarah and Shelby Hutton.

David was a kind hearted soul. He loved to cook and would often share his creations with family and friends. He had a passion for art and was proud to be a self-proclaimed “green thumb”. He loved the mountains and all they had to offer – hiking, fishing, and camping. He had a particular interest in family genealogy, which he traced back to the 11th Century. David said, “Music is the time capsule of life”. He enjoyed making albums that spoke to the intended emotional journey he wanted and would change the order of tracks, occasionally adding a song from a different album to make it just the way he wanted, and he couldn’t wait to share it with others.

A birthday card from David always had a message inside that represented an honest glimpse of what he loved about the person receiving it, and he delighted in taking the time to find the perfect one.

David was a good friend to all that could reciprocate the basic ideals of friendship. He was childlike in nature, sensitive, brash, and often misunderstood. At the end of his time here he stated, “I have lived a good life. It is what it is. I have peace with God and my friend by my side.” In appreciation of the truth in that, David left that sentiment, his last track – that’s the simplicity of who he truly was.

He will be missed. Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date.
