As previously announced, James Andrew "Jamie" Tuttle passed away at his Versailles home on March 31, 2025. Jamie was preceded in death by his father, James D. Tuttle, and by his mother, Shirley L. Tuttle, also of Versailles. He is survived by his older brother, David Tuttle, his niece Dawn Page (Chris), their children Xavier, Anna and Autumn, his nephew Jonathan Tuttle (Brianna) and family friend Richard Martin, all in St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as many adoring family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Jamie was a long-time employee of the Woodford County School District (IT Dept.), an accomplished musician, an avid sports fan, a devout Christian and a wonderful person. He is much loved and will be sorely missed. A memorial service for Jamie is scheduled at the Forks of the Elkhorn Baptist Church, 495 Duckers Rd., Midway, KY, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, with visitation preceding from 2 – 4 p.m. If you wish to do something in his honor, as Jamie would say, "Just pay it forward."
