It is with great sorrow
that we announce the
passing of Scott Tyrell
Hutchins on January 28,
2023. Born February 13,
1985 in Meeker, Colorado
to John and Diane
Hutchins, Scott was just 37.
Scott is survived by his parents, John and Diane
Hutchins; his sister, Skyler Hutchins, (Kevin Harris);
grandparents; extended family; his loyal dog, Juniper;
and countless friends and colleagues who all love him.
Scott’s sense of humor, thirst for knowledge and
passion for the outdoors could be felt by anyone who
met him. He cared deeply about his family and friends;
and his intelligence, thoughtful advice and sense of
humor will be missed.
Most weekends, Scott could be found enjoying our
public lands with his dog by his side. An avid hunter,
para glider, skier, fly fisherman, and hiker, he was often
deep in the peaceful solitude of the Colorado mountains
or desert southwest. Scott’s love for nature is a reminder
to slow down and soak up the beauty of the world −
this is how he curated an admirably large collection of
natural artifacts that covered every shelf in his house.
Scott’s father inspired his love of the outdoors, going
on countless fishing, hunting and backpacking trips
together. His mother, Diane supported his intrepid
adventures and quest for knowledge. Scott’s sister will
forever remember him as a loving brother, friend and
skiing buddy.
A lifelong student, Scott graduated from Colorado
Rocky Mountain School (‘03), Colorado College (‘07),
and the University of Utah Law School (‘14). His calling
was working with water in the west, protecting natural
resources for generations to come.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday,
February 18, 2023 from 4-6pm at Orchard River View
in Palisade. Should friends desire, contributions may
be sent to either the Colorado Rocky Mountain School
Scholarship fund or the Colorado Canyons Association
in Scott’s memory.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be
shared at www.callahan-edfast.com for the Hutchins
family.
