Donald LaMar Sutton, age 64, of Sandy, Utah, was reunited with his loved ones who have already passed from this world, at home Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, due to complications from diabetes. The third of four children, Don was born at Tooele Valley Hospital on Aug. 16, 1957, to James Verdi and Vivian Mae (Robertson) Sutton. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother James Michael Sutton. He is survived by his brothers Steven Ray (Anne) Sutton, Douglas (Gaylynn) Sutton; three nieces Mindy, Casey, Kara; and one nephew Brevin.
Don grew up in Grantsville, attended school and graduated from Grantsville High. He took several classes at Snow College.
Childhood memories: neighborhood tackle football, playing in the irrigation ditch. He loved his grandfather Verdi who lived next door, helped him with the cows and hauling hay. In high school Don enjoyed driving the cheerleaders to the games in the family motorhome.
He took pride in his work, always giving 100% effort. The last 20 plus years he worked at 4Life research.
Outside of work, Don loved reading, books and movies, he had an extensive collection of them. He had a passion for electronics.
He was cheerful, kind, unselfish, and never complained. With his health issues he could have complained and others would have understood. He was a devoted son, brother, uncle, and friend. Don’s sweet disposition was recognized by all… even the family pets.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard but always near, but loved, still missed and very dear. – author unknown
Don will be missed by his family and friends.
Cremation has taken place according to Don’s wishes. Memorial service will be held in the spring at Grantsville City Cemetery.
