David Joshua Dutton, also known as Josh, went home to be with the Lord January 2, 2026, at the age of 43.
He was a beloved son, father, brother, husband, and grandfather. Josh loved his family dearly. Josh was on Dialysis for 38 years, and the last year was bound to a wheelchair, which limited his ability to go out and enjoy life. He loved nature and rock digging. He loved attendant church and would tell everyone about God and how God healed him so many times. Josh now has his complete healing. Spending time with family, to include his beloved fur babies Lacy, Macy and Layla, meant everything to him.
He was proceeded in death by his father, John Dutton Jr; stepdad Lindsey Fambrough; grandparents John Dutton Sr, Mary Lou Dutton, Claude Pless and Mattie Lee Pless.
Josh is survived by his wife Shanda; mother Joanne Fambrough; brother Johnathan Dutton; sons Andrew Dutton and Luke Dutton; stepchildren Nick Dunn, Kristen Dutton, Alexis Dunn; nephews Johnathan Dutton (Micayla Dutton) Blake Dutton (Kristen Dutton) Devin Dutton; niece Kaylea Dutton; great nephew Colton Dutton; great nieces Ally Dutton, Harper Dutton, Scarlett Dutton; and grandson Levi Dutton, who was his pride and joy.
A celebration of life memorial service will be held at Living by Faith Ministries, Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 4:00PM for family and friends. Pastor Shane Dye, his beloved friend, will be doing the service.
