Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten

Thank you for your service to this country. In remembrance and never to be forgotten. With sympathy to your family.

We are vacationing in St. Augustine and Googled who your husband/father was. You must be very proud of the hero he is. We are so sorry for your loss and are truly thankful for the freedom Sgt. Tutten fought for. I am so thankful his legacy continues and St. Augustine has made sure he is not to be forgotten. May God richly bless you!

You will never be forgotten!
May you rest in God's arms.

May you rest in peace Sgt. Tutten. I will always be in your debt.

On the 8th anniversary of his passing on Christmas day, I pause to reflect on the life and legacy that he left behind.

Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten and family,

I represented you during The Patriot All America 2014 at The Wigwam, playing for Bethany College, Lindsborg KS.
The Patriot is an amazing tournament, filled with patriotism and pride for those who we have lost; if you could see it, you would be proud. Words cannot redeem the sacrifice you have made, along with all the other troops who have fought for their country. As I learned at the tournament, "freedom is not free", and we thank you.
This semester, it is my mission to auction the bag and raise money for the Folds of Honor Foundation and your family.
Nothing will be able to replace your life, or your families loss; but I at least hope it can make a small difference.
Again, we thank you.

To a soldier who gave all, so we as American's can keep the FREEDOM that this country and the soldiers of the past wars just as Bryan gave "The GREAT SACRIFICE". He will always be remembered.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten:
Always remembering Bryan. "Some gave all."

You are not forgotten brother.

Thank you for allowing me to spend time with my family and friends in peace while you and your family sacrifice so much for a stranger and ask nothing in return.

R.I.P. - You are very missed!

Miss you man

Rest in peace brother, it was a tremendous honor to serve with you. Gone but never forgotten.

Rest in peace my brother because not a day goes by that I don't think of you and your family. It was a tremdous honor to close out Iraq and it was your sacrafice that made it possible for others to live without oppression while keeping our homeland safe.

rest in peace Bryan, You are not forgotten.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten:
Please accept my remembrance of Bryan on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

In remembrance of a brave young soldier. You gave your life for your country in order that you and all the soldiers of today and yesterday have for our freedom. May God Bless your family and all the soldiers who are still out there protecting our freedom. You and all of our fallen soldiers will never be forgotten!

It's been almost 4 years and I still can't believe your gone. You are missed by everyone you have touched. I wish you could see your babies. Your daughter has an inexplicable gift of climbing the same rope you trained on when you enlisted in the Army.
We love you Bryan.

Hey bro i miss you and think about you every day some days i need my friend and brother more than others love you bro

Tutten was in my platoon during Operation Iraqi Freedom from the 2003-2004 deployment.
Just last Sunday I heard of two LT's we shared dying in an IED as well.
I didn't know them as much as I knew Tut.
I have a picture of him pre op during some random day in Iraq.
My other good friend Scott Otto is deployed in Iraq at this time.
Our Father in Heaven loves him so much. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man then this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Tutten knew this would happen before he came down to Earth, so he must truly be a select servant of the Most High God.
Though I will never see you again while on this mortal probation, I rejoice as I wait to meet you in Paradise and enjoy the Eternities together as brothers of our Father and brothers in service.
I love you Tutten.

I still think about you everyday. I miss you, Brother.

Bryan, I know how much you meant to my older brother. I attended your funeral with my mother to pay our respects to you and your wonderful family. Tim is coming home in a few days and we have already planned to go place an angel at your grave site. My husband just joined the army and is currently going through basic training until April 16th, please watch over him and guide him in the right direction. You are always in our hearts- Tim Modesta and Kaitlin

Miss you brother. Merry Christmas

To the parents of Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten:
I know your pain
I know your sorrow
It feels as though there's no tomorrow
It's Christmastime
Your child is gone
But know that from the great beyond
He's watching you
And is so proud
Wanting you to sing strong and loud
Allow this Christmas season in
So loving life can begin again.

On this day and with each day that we enjoy our freedom, I would like to give thanks and let you know that I do not take our troops for granted. May you experience God when you feel your loss.

It's been an honor serving with you. I'll miss you brother, forever and ever. You'll always be my dear friend. I'm a civilian now and I also have a baby girl on the way. I remember you telling me about your kids all the time. I'll love my kid as much as you did yours. May god be with you.

I offer my deepest condolences for your loss

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Bryan, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Tutten family in the loss of Bryan. I did not know Bryan, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Sylvia,
My heart ached when I heard of you losing your son. My son just returned home right before Christmas after 14 months of serving in Iraq with the 501st Airborne, Fort Richardson, Alaska. My 14 months of daily fear became the reality for you and his family. Your son sounded like a wonderful man and soldier. I will think of you every day in the ultimate sacrifice you and yours have made. We are the "Band of Mothers."

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest sympathy for Bryan Tuttens family.I never had the privledge to meet our soldier,but I did have the privledge of growing up on the same street as his mother,Sylvia and also knew his father Tommy.He was truly blessed!Let God watch over and take care of his wife and children as he will always smile down on you.

Thank you Bryan for your sacrifice. Thank you also to the family of Bryan. I am so very very sorry for your loss.I pray God's strength for all of you in these tough days. May your good memories always be a joy to you. God bless all of you and keep you in the shelter of His arms.

Dearest CP,
My heart aches for your loss. I know how happy you and Bryan were and I know that his wonderful traits will be passed down to your children. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sylvia,
I was so shocked and saddened to learn about Bryan. It's been so
long since I've seen either of you.
However, I still remember him as a
precious little boy. And now my heart breaks for his young wife and
children also. I know your family must be very proud of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief. May your
wonderful memories bring you comfort.

I'm very sorry for your loss and offer my deepest condolences. I know that my brother and grandmother will welcome Bryan with open arms, to help him deal with this transition and I offer myself to you and your family on any help that I can provide..

CP, I am sorry for your loss. I know from talking to Bryan before he joined the Army that he was doing what he truly loved and believed in. I will remember you in my prayers and hope you will find peace in the fact that his sacrifice will be remembered and greatly appreciated.

CP and Family,

I was saddened to hear the news, you and your family are in our prayers. God Bless.

Our family prays for yours. Our son is part of the 82nd Airborne Falcon Task Force and currently serves in Iraq. He called to tell us of the groups loss in the death of your son and the wounding of the others. Please know you will always be in our thoughts and prayers long after they all come home.

C.P.,
You are in our prayers and thoughts. We have all lost a brave soul. Stay stong and much love to you and yours.

I keep a poppy on a card which reads "today someone is fighting for your freedom"
I thank you and your family for my freedom.
Although it may seem impossible right now. will find joy again. You will see him in the faces and eyes and gestures of your children and grandchildren. The hurt will never go away...but you will find another place in your heart to keep it once the pain and confusion eases a little.
Allow yourself time for grief it is an honor to him.
Thank you once again
Barbara

My heartfelt condolences to the family
of Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten.
My son is also with the 82ND Airborne
in Iraq.
We have all become one family so when
I hear of a loss it truly hurts.
May God give you comfort and strength.

To the family of Bryan Joseph Tutten. I pray that God will bring you peace. I know of great lost. Came to St. Augustine in Aug. of 2000 with my husband New York City retired Firefighter, I say this because it touch my heart when I read on why he joined the military, because of 911 I lost many good friends/family and I want to personally let you know that his bravery and great sacrifice will always be remembered by me and mine, See I knew those who were lost on that day and Joseph did what I could not and that was go and fight for a real true cause to keep this from ever happening again I did not know him but I will remember his name when ever I see a Flag flying high being blown by the wind, children running freely, laughing and playing, Churches being filled with the freedom to worship God. Every good thing that we still have because of Men like him. Lets us remember it doesn't come free Jesus paid it all, BUT there are still great men paying for what we here have in the United States and that is freedom. I will remember him.
To Mom and Dad;

Joseph will say to you....

Remember me with smiles and laughter for thats how I'll remember you all. But if you can only remember with tears than don't remember me at all.

Remember him with smiles and Laughter.

God Bless to you All Ana.

To the Family of Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten. Our family would like to express their deepest sympathy in the loss of a true hero. Know that Bryan and his family will always be in our heart and prayers. We to have walked in the shoes you are now walking in when on August 18, 2005 we were notifed that our son and brother Pfc. Timothy J. Seamans was KIA in Samarra, Iraq by a road side bomb (IED). Know that we are their for you whenever you need us. They say time heals all; true as it maybe the memories alone will bring back the pain, sorrow and tears. Our faith is strong and I believe you faith is just as strong. We ask ourselves why and we know that answer for God himself is in control. He now walks in the eternal light and grace of God along side his other Band of Brothers gone before him. We have set-up a foundation to honor all the fallen heroes in Florida www.floridafallenheroes.org I hope when you have time you can visit the website.

May God Bless You and Keep You, May He Shine His Everlasting Light Upon You Always.

I can't even find the words...I lost my 19 year old son--5 Sept 2007, Balad, Iraq. I am absolutely devastated and I know that you are too...but find comfort in the fact that we will see our loved ones, our heroes again. Do I wish that I could trade places with my son? ABSOLUTELY not. He is in the arms of our Lord--"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" ~Rev 21:4
What a wonderful thought...

Well ,T, looks like your last jump has been made. It only seems like yesterday you arrived in third platoon when it was still 3/505. You were the true "ray of sunshine". We made the best of it the first time around alot of good memories of you man. So to you and your wife, from the misfits of third, Zimmerman, Cokely, Uxer, Williford, Challen, and Robinson, H-Minus.

SGT Bryan Tutten was an outstanding NCO. He was a loving father and husband. His loss is a hard blow to the Troop, but we will continue on so his sacrifice will not be in vain. Personally I lost a dependable Sergeant, a man that could be counted on to always to the right thing. He will be missed.

If you are wounded
I will carry you

If you are captured
I will come for you

If you are killed
I will remember you.

RIP Airborne!

CP & Family,
We are shocked and saddened by this tragedy and wish for peace in your heart and for your family. He was loved and we appreciate his service for our country.

CP,
I have been amazed at your bravery during this devistating time. Catherine and Gareth are both beautiful, just like their mom and dad. Bryan's spirit will live on in them. God bless.

We are truley sadden by this. My son also served with this unit. I can't imagine how you feel. Please know that we are so proud of your son and his sevice to his country. may god help you all put life back together. my heart aches for you all.

Bryan,

You have bravely served this country and we are prouder than you could ever imagine. We salute you Sargent. May you forever rest in peace.

Love,

My heart aches for you this day, Sylvia,and I wish I had heard of your loss before today so that I could have come to pay tribute. I commit to keep you and your family in my prayers, that the God of all comfort will heal your sore and hurting hearts.

Sylvia,
You and your family have my deepest sympathy.I know you must be very proud of Bryan and all that he stood for. I am thinking of you and you are in my prayers.
God Bless You and your family during this sad time.

I was made aware of his death from the front page of the paper and then again by your friends Lee and Cindy Ebersold and am truly sorry for your tragic loss. Ironically as I was driving down US1 today and saw the many vehicles showing tribute to such a fine, brave young man the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey was playing on the radio and I just cried. Never having met any of you I just wanted you to know that my heart and prayers go out to his wife, children and rest of the family. He is truly a hero and will always be an angel watching over all those he loves. God Bless from a caring St. Augustine resident.

Some say: A great person will first become famous for their action when they gone.

All soldiers, no matter where from - are all equal - and will all be loved and missed of their families.

Memories will be keept good as bad course every one will some how have made a different there have left a mark on the world - I have been there.

We, to, were saddened to hear

lived in the same town.
My prayers go out to the family
in this time of sorrow and
unbearable grief.

I was so sorry to hear of Sgt. Tutten's death. Please know that he died a hero; he made the ultimate sacrifice for his country and you should all be very proud. I can relate to your pain and to your profound sense of loss; my brother, LCDR Keith E. Taylor, was killed in Iraq on January 29, 2005. He was sent to Iraq for a six-month deployment in October 2004 and he only had 35 days left... He also had a daughter named Catherine (spelled Katharine) and she turned 4 this year. And ironically, I was born on New Year's Eve. I feel connected to this story somehow. Just know that Sgt. Tutten's death was not in vain and he will NEVER be forgotten. God's peace be with all of you. God bless America and God bless our troops.

To The Family of Bryan Tutten,

We first heard about your son's passing from our son SFC Scott Vest who was serving with Bryan in Iraq. He needed someone to talk to about how sad he was about it and how he had died on Christmas Day. We reminded him that Jesus came into the world on that day to save us and that it was an honor to meet Jesus on that day. We send our prayers of comfort and thanks to you and your family.

We care and share your sorrow and pride.

Thank YOu Sgt Bryan Tutten a true hero.
We never met but May god bless your Family and friends .I and my Family would like to say we love and care about all our Men and women serving our country. In this time of sadness may your family remeber the good times and keep them alive for your young children to know you by.you will always be an angel on their shoulder.
God Bless You.

My son is also in the Army and just returned from a 15 month tour in Iraq.

Thank you for Bryan's service to our country. He is a true hero and will not be forgotten.

God Bless you.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I did not know him, but my son, Patrick, is serving in the honor guard from Ft. Bragg ceremonies for Sgt. Tutten. I can't imagine the pain and sorrow you are experiencing.

Again my deepest sympathies.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I would also like to tell you about a website, http://groups.msn.com/SSPSoldierPor
traits/homepage,
where some wonderful people will make wood portraits of your fallen Hero for free for the immediate family. I became aware of this site when I wanted to do something special for Le Ron’s mother.
