Donald Wayne Kutac

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Donald Wayne Kutac, who left this world on April 6, 2025, at the age of 71. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, friend, and pillar of strength for all who knew him. Dad's life was a testament to hard work, unwavering faith, and a deep love for his family, his animals, and the simple joys of life. His legacy will live on forever in the hearts of those who were blessed to call him family and friend.
Dad was a man of many passions, but none was more profound than his love for his family and his animals. Whether he was tending to the livestock or simply enjoying the company of his beloved animals, he found true solace in their presence. His life was filled with horses, cows, pigeons, goats, donkeys, and so many more creatures that he cherished deeply. It often felt like growing up on Old McDonald's farm, where animals weren't just pets but part of the family. It was a sanctuary for him, where the bond between man and animal was pure and unbreakable.
Above all, Dad was a hardworking man who always found a way to ensure his family had everything they needed. No matter the challenges life presented, he was unwavering in his commitment to provide for us. His ingenuity and determination were unmatched-if a solution didn't exist, he made one. He built his life on a foundation of sacrifice and love, ensuring that we had more than we could ever need. His presence was a constant reminder of how much he cared for us all, and his work ethic inspired everyone around him.
Beyond his work, Dad was charming, witty, and focused. He had an extraordinary ability to bring joy and laughter into any room. His humor was infectious, often catching us off guard with his playful pranks or a perfectly timed witty remark. But beneath the laughter was a man of great wisdom, whose words often held deep lessons. He taught us to approach life with a balance of hard work, love, and laughter. His ability to find humor in even the toughest moments helped us navigate life's challenges with a smile on our faces.
Dad was also a man of profound faith, and he served our God like no other. His devotion to his beliefs guided every step of his life. He lived with integrity and loyalty, always striving to be the best husband, father, and friend he could be. His love for God was evident in everything he did, and his commitment to his faith was a cornerstone of the family he built. He was a true role model, showing us the importance of living a life filled with hard work, focus and grace.
There was no greater joy for Dad than being surrounded by family, especially during the holidays. He cherished those moments when everyone came together to celebrate, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. And when it came to holiday dinners, Dad took his role as the official turkey carver very seriously. His trusty electric turkey carver, no matter how old it was, was always present at every holiday meal, ensuring that the turkey was carved to perfection and that everyone had the best cuts. The holiday table, with Dad at its center, was where his love for his family truly shone.
Another of Dad's great passions was his love for the Houston Astros. He was an avid fan, and even in his final days, he never lost his enthusiasm for the game. In fact, just before his passing, he called to ask us to help him find the game to watch. His love for the Astros was one of the many ways he enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, and it was a part of his infectious spirit that will be dearly missed.
Though we can no longer see him in person, we know that he is still with us. His presence is felt in the quiet moments, in the laughter we share, and in the lessons he taught us. We carry his strength, his faith, and his love in everything we do. He is not gone; he lives on in the way we love, in the way we work, and in the way we approach life. Every day, we carry him with us. Dad built a family of strong leaders who always use his model to find a way or make one.
Dad is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Debra Kutac; his children, Jenifer Kutac, Stephanie Arambula, Jason Kutac, and Adam Kutac; his grandchildren, Danielle Arambula Gomez, Lauren Arambula, Hailey Arambula, Jacob Arambula, Brooke Kutac, Kyle Kutac, and Jesus Rivas Kutac; his great-grandchildren, Sebastian Gomez, Liam Gomez, and Waylen Parker; his son and daughters-in-law, Daniel Arambula, Bobbie Kutac, Yolanda Kutac, and Emmanuel Rivas; his brothers and sisters-in-law, Alton Kutac, Cindy Kutac, Ervin Kutac Jr, Sandy Kutac, Elvin Kutac, and JoAnn Kutac; his father-in-law, Frank Dziedzic. He is preceded in death by his parents, Ervin Kutac Sr. and Josephine Kutac, and his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Dziedzic.
