Gerald Red Stuteville

Gerald (Red) Stuteville, 70, of Wray, Colorado, passed away Saturday, February 4, 2017, at the Medical Center of Rockies in Loveland, Colorado, after a short illness. His daily activities had slowed considerably when his health took a turn for the worse.

Being an avid Broncos fan, he always enjoyed professional and college football, the Colorado Rockies, basketball games, drag racing, refurbishing and tinkering with anything that didn’t work correctly. He was a master of woodworking – building furniture and a huge variety of things.

Red was a very hard worker all his life – was really a “jack of all trades”. He served in the Army, worked for Sessions Construction, and operated his own business for many years – Red’s Trash Service.

Red is survived by two sons, Gerald (Bub) and Brent Stuteville, grandsons Josh and Matt Stuteville and granddaughter Annaleigh Stuteville; siblings Lonna Casaliggi of the Bronx, New York, Donna Earl of Wray and Lynette Sparks of Hotchkiss; nieces and nephews James Presley of Knoxville, Tennessee; Donna Casaliggi and Lisa LaBarbera of the Bronx, New York and John Casaliggi of Flushing, New York; Pam Kiser of Vernon, Patty Hendrix of Holyoke, Julia Boren of Montrose and Evan Earl of Wray; Camilla Kim of Bend, Oregon and Josh Sparks of Hotchkiss.

A Celebration of Life gathering for Red will be held from 1 to 5pm Friday, February 10 at his shop at 32062 South Railway, Wray.
