Paul Hutton Obituary
Paul is survived by his wife, Cristina Hutton; his siblings John and wife Cindy; Jim and wife Liz; Tom and wife Susan; and Nora and husband Bill; ten nieces and nephews; and his devoted in-laws. He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Mary Hutton, as well as two nephews, Alex Hutton, and Patrick Hutton.
Paul was born on May 4, 1965 in King City, Calif., to the late John and Mary Hutton. Paul grew up in King City and graduated from King City High School in 1983. He had a lifelong love of aquatics having been on the swim team, a lifeguard, and having endured the frigid waters of Cayucos, Calif., every summer. He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 1987.
Having an affinity for kids helped him achieve a wonderful teaching career. He started his teaching in Greenfield, Calif.,, and after a few years, he transferred to Soledad, where he thrived. Paul loved teaching 4th grade at San Vicente Elementary School in Soledad Unified School District. He was grateful to be part of the San Vicente School community. His students admired him and came back to visit after college. One former student said, "Mr. Hutton taught me to never give up."
Paul was a kind, faithful, and loving person who had a passion for travel, nature, and history. Paul started his love of travel by taking the back roads in the Salinas Valley. From there, he traveled to Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Hawaii. He also was an enthusiastic Giants and 49ers fan.
He will be remembered as a compassionate individual with a wonderful sense of humor.
A private ceremony was scheduled due to COVID restrictions and guidelines.

Some time has passed, but I have just found out of Mr. Huttons passing and I am deeply saddened. I was one of his students once upon a time in San Vicente. He was always so gracious, witty, and understanding. My condolences to his family and friends affected by his passing.

Paul was my best friend growing up. He was the best man at my wedding. I miss him very much. Paul and I did not stay as close as we would have liked over the years. We started talking again over the last five months. I lost my job in April and my phone was replaced and I lost his number. I went to reach out to Paul tonight and found out he had passed. Paul was the nicest, kindest man I have ever known. The lord must have had a reason for taking him at this time. I know he is in heaven with his mom and dad and looking down on all of us wishing us love. Sliver fish, Paul knows what this means I will alway miss your smile, and positive attitude toward things. Please say hi to my dad a Paul. Love always your friend and brother in spirt.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Paul. May (1 Thessalonians 4:14) bring you some comfort in knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow.

I knew Paul when I worked as a teacher in Greenfield. I knew him to be the kindest, warm-hearted, caring man who cared about the success of those he taught. He had a great sense of humor and he was the "gentle giant" that everyone knew him to be. He was a great teacher, a good friend and a fantastic colleague. I will keep Paul, his wife and family in my prayers. May he Rest In Peace and in Paradise.
