I was Sutton’s gifted teacher at Wedowee Middle School. I remember him for his kindness, his humble sweet spirit, and beautiful smile. He had a heart for others and was a friend to all.
Here are a few photos of Sutton from our Gifted Wax Museum when he was in 6th grade. He was Ronald Reagan.

Sutton played tee ball with my youngest son, Jai Wright. They also went to school together for several years. He was always so well mannered and polite. Praying for strength and comfort for the family as you all navigate through this difficult time.

I was a substitute teacher and met Sutton. I was so impressed with his integrity and kindness and grew to love him. He always brightened my day with his big smile and his respect he had for all his teachers. My heart is broken for his parents and sister. May GOD give them peace that surpasses all understanding.

As Sutton’s maternal grandmother I will miss his “hey Grammy, how’s it going??!!!❤️❤️❤️. He was gifted in many ways such as art, math, etc., decorating and just plain smart in the books!! We were blessed to have him for a short time and loved him and will miss him but hope to see him in eternity. Barbara Kendrick, Grammy!!

It was one of the greatest honors of my life to know Sutton and to be his teacher. His radiant smile could light up an entire room, and his kindness left an imprint on everyone blessed to cross his path. When he graduated, he handed me a handwritten note, thanking me for the role I’d played in his journey. I have cherished that note ever since, and I will treasure Sutton’s memory for as long as I live. I love you, “little dude.”

I was so honored to have taught this uniquely gifted young man, who brought enthusiasm and joy to every single day. No matter what I’d planned for our day, he was all-in and ready to have fun. I so remember the day I pulled a big prank on my class and how Sutton reacted. I’d told them all week I was bringing them the most delicious fudgy brownies on Friday. I really played up those homemade treats, but on Friday I walked by each desk while their eyes were tightly closed and put a brown E that I ‘d cut from construction paper on each desk. When they were prompted to open their eyes it was Sutton who said, “Yep, that’s a brown E.” While his other classmates were moaning and complaining. After I’d presented them with the real brownies, he whispered to me.” I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me.” How I adored him! I pray he is eating those fudge brownies with loved ones in Heaven. Heaven now is sweeter and brighter with him there.
Kim Heard.
