DAVID WILLIAM TUTTLE

The world became a happier place when David Wm. Tuttle was born on December 16, 1947. His parents Ernest and Helen Tuttle were given a loving and devoted son. David flourished in Reedley where he learned lessons about people that were to guide him for a lifetime. He met Deborah Stanton at a Huntington Lake dance in 1965. They were married in 1970 and were blessed with sons, Justin, Matthew, Luke and Jack. David was a graduate of Reedley College, University of California, Santa Barbara and received an MBA degree at Golden Gate University. He later earned a PhD. He enjoyed wearing the orange colors of Reedley College and relished sharing his educational and life experiences. After starting his own CPA practice he was joined by Deborah to establish Tuttle & Tuttle CPA's. He enjoyed his personal connections with his clients and professional friends. David not only had an interest in connecting with people, he also found joy with his animals, including his donkey Sparky. David always tried to make each person's day a little brighter. This is how he would like to be remembered. He is also survived by brother Ernest and his wife Linda; and sister Kay and her husband David Harris. He was blessed with beautiful grandsons. David was loved by all the "Stanton girls" and his daughters-in-law.
