James "Howard" Sutton

I have known Howard my whole life. When we were rebuilding our home he would reach out to me with tips and information to make sure our builders were doing things right! We all grew up in Beason together and I cannot remember a time when we hung out with his brother Darren that we did not see Howard and his friends. A GREAT man, with a sweet soul and a heart of Gold. God bless his family. This still just breaks my heart. May God comfort and keep his family in his loving graces.

Howard and I grew up together at Beason Illinois. To say we were best friends would be an understatement. We spent the majority of our youth together playing sports , shooting and hunting. His family was a second family to me ,generous ,faithful and kind hard-working salt of the earth people. I spent many nights at their house watching movies and going through guns and ammo magazines shopping for the next firearm we would buy someday when we could afford them. I am just crushed at the news...
