Born October 22, 1959, in San Antonio, Texas, he was a son of the late William Norman Sutton and Mary Lee Harrison Sutton.

Mr. Sutton is lovingly remembered as a kind soul who liked to always put a smile on someone’s face; a loving father who was proud of his three children; a loving husband who loved taking his wife fishing; and a loving caretaker who enjoyed tobake and fiddle around on their farm.
