Jeffrey Sutton Obituary
Jeff was born on Feb. 23, 1972, in Rexburg, Idaho, to Lee Henry Sutton and Heddy Ricks Sutton. He loved being raised in the Archer, Sunnydell area on the family farm. He attended school in Rexburg, graduating from Madison High School. After high school he went to Ricks College and later attended Utah State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in agriculture business. On Dec. 1, 2000, Jeff married Tandy Lee Nielson, the love of his life, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he loved the many individuals he was able to serve. He especially enjoyed his most recent calling as Bishop of the Shelton Ward in the Ririe Stake.
Jeff loved his family, going hunting and being in the outdoors. He was grateful to be able to have a career that kept his ties to agriculture and allowed him time to spend with family and serve others.
Jeff worked for North West Farm Credit Services as an appraiser and was currently the vice president of appraiser services. He was a member of the American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers. (ASFMRA) He served on the Ririe School Board and the Board of Directors for Enterprise Canal Comp.
Jeff is survived by his wife, Tandy Lee Sutton; daughters, Lauren, Brooke, Shae, Brynne and Claire, of Ririe; his parents, Lee and Heddy Sutton, of Rexburg; a sister, Sundee (Doug) Jensen, of Rexburg; a brother, Jerome (Kristen) Sutton, of Idaho Falls; and grandmother Gwen Sutton, of Archer.
He was preceded by his grandparents Jesse Sutton and Seth and Aseneth Ricks.
Funeral services will be held Friday, May 26, 2017, in the Ririe LDS Stake Center (14061 N. 130 E., Ririe, ID) at 11 a.m. The family will meet with friends Thursday, May 25, 2017, from 6-8 p.m. and again on Friday, May 26, from 9:30-10:45 a.m., both at the Ririe LDS Stake Center.

Dear Sutton family, my condolences on your loss. I worked with Jeff at NWFCS for many years and always enjoyed his quick humor, kindness and hard work ethic. He was a true gentleman. Tandy I was so touched by your testimony that you shared today at the funeral... It was a very beautiful service.

man I'm gonna miss Jeff. I know i didn't see him often, but there was no doubt in my mind he touched a ton of lives. Tandy, I don't know what i would do if i lost my husband, and the emptiness it is to lose your partner for the rest of this life. All I can say is I'm glad it's only temporary. Know you are loved, and there are a thousand heart and hands out there willing to help. You are most definitely loved and in our prayers.

I have known Jeff since 6th grade when we all came to Washington school. He was always a good friend to me and I hope I was to him. He will be missed but not forgotten. I'm a better person from knowing Jeff. Rest easy my friend, hope to see you again.
