Michael Sutton Obituary

Lyme - Michael David Sutton, beloved son of Robert and Eleanor Sutton of Lyme, passed away March 12, 2022, after a long struggle with cancer.

Mike was a kindhearted, gentle giant. He spent most of his life working as a mechanic due to his love of cars and working with his hands. In his youth he loved spending his summers working at Camp Claire. He was also a longtime volunteer firefighter for the Lyme Fire Department.

Mike also loved the water, boats, cars, and his beloved dogs, buckwheat, lady and fenway.

Mike's oldest brother Robert predeceased him. He is survived by his brother Frank and his wife and two daughters; his brother Edward and his wife and son and a daughter; and his brother Patrick and his wife and son.

Services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, March 18, at the Lyme Fire Department, Hamburg station. A private family burial will follow.

In lieu of flowers donations in Mike's name can be made to The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society (lls.org), or the Connecticut Humane Society (cthumane.org).
