SUTTON, JAMES R.
3/16/1953 - 8/25/2024
Caledonia, Michigan
Coach Sutton has walked off the field. Jim bravely battled Parkinson's Disease for the last ten years. Jim dearly loved his family and his granddog, Lucy. His passions in life were teaching, coaching football, and cheering on U of M. As a teacher and coach at East Kentwood High School, Jim had a profound impact on many young people who will fondly remember his role in their lives. As Assistant Athletic Director, Jim spent countless hours with the Kentwood community. After 32 years of coaching, Jim was inducted into the Michigan Football Hall of Fame in 2016. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Pam, and his step-children, Brian (Molly) Ulrich, Allison (Ian) Fudalski. Jim was a loving "Gramps" to Benny, Tyler, Luke, Rosie, and Carson. He also leaves behind four siblings, Patricia, John, Robert, and Mary, as well as a number of extended family and friends. The family expresses their sincere thanks to the staff of Corewell Health Hospice for their loving care during Jim's final days. Private family services will be held, and Jim's final resting place will be with his parents in Ypsilanti, MI. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to the Parkinson's Foundation.
