Bub Sutton, 83, husband,
father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather, passed away at his
home in Fruita, with his wife
of 62 years, Jeri, and his loving
daughter, Tracie, by his side.
Bub is survived, in addition
to his wife and daughter, by his
sister, Mary (Tom) Pilkington,
of Ammons, Idaho; grandson, Kamron (Keri) Cadwell, of Grand
Junction; several great-grandchildren, and a multitude of nieces
and nephews. He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Jay, in
1979; three sisters, and two brothers.
Born in Grand Valley (Parachute), CO, at home, Bub lived his
entire life in the state of Colorado, except for his service in the Army
in Germany. He spent his school years in Meeker, and then, working
at the Colorado Game and Fish, lived in Carbondale, Yampa, Red
Feather Lakes, and Denver before buying The Dinosaur Store in
Fruita in 1972, and starting Sutton’s Yard and Garden in 1979.
A gentle giant of a man, with a quick wit and a twinkle in his eye,
he loved hunting, fishing, the outdoors, and most of all, spending
time with his grandchildren.
He will be greatly missed by those who knew him. No services
will be held, however a memorial will be held in May.
Donations may be made in his honor to HopeWest, Grand
Junction, CO.
