Sorry to hear about Mr. Nutt’s passing. I had the experience of being taught by him as a teenager, and I really enjoyed being around him. The Nutt Family sure hasn’t had an easy couple of years, but it makes my heart smile to see Lindsey’s strength during these times. Lots of love to each of you.
David has had an enormous impact on my life, in more ways then I can begin to express. I love him for all that he has instilled in me and my family and the devotion he has felt toward us all. We are all blessed to have had him while we did and he will be terribly missed. 💕💕💕💕💕

David taught an adult education class that I attended many years ago. He was so much fun as well as informative.
I’m so sorry for your loss.

David was a wonderful friend and co worker to me at West Campus. I was the Administrative Assistant to the Director. David always checked on me to see how things were going and sneaking chocolate milk to me every morning (which I wasn’t supposed to have but always wanted). There is one day that I will always remember, I was supposed to go to my grandsons kindergarten class for his birthday party but things happened that day at school that I couldn’t go. I was trying to figure out what to do when David came in. He knew I was not myself and he asked me what was going on. I explained to him the situation and he looked at me and said don’t worry I will take care of it. He picked up the cupcakes I had for the kids and left the office. I found out later from my grandson, Syd that David had come to Jefferson Elementary and brought the cupcakes to the class and began to play his harmonica and sing happy birthday to Syd while dancing a jig. The kids asked for more songs and dances and David was happy to oblige. That was the kind of man David was, always there for his friends. I will always think of you with a smile in my heart.
AUNT JEAN AND FAMILY WANT TO OFFER OUR SINCERE SYMPATHY TO CINDY, UNCLE HALLIE AND DAVID’S FAMILY.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
David was my cousin and though we did not see one another very much I will always fondly remember the times we had together and the laughs we shared. He was a good guy and served his country with honor. I regret that I will be unable to be at the visitation or funeral, but he and his entire family will be in my prayers. God bless to you all.
On behalf of MHS Class of 1966, condolences to David’s family. We were blessed to have grown and shared our childhood, education, and memories with David. He will be remembered and held in our hearts.
Mr. Nutt was a huge influence for me in high school almost 20 years ago. I had just moved to Fayetteville from NY and couldn’t adjust. I’ll never forget what he taught me and how he accepted me and would always be there for me. My heart goes out to his family.
Rest in Peace, David. Lord knows you deserve it.
We lost touch years ago David, but I still remember the fun times we shared growing up, particularly all the sports venues we participated in together. Condolences to your family, I know you will be greatly missed.
I’ll always remember when some of us went camping when we were kids, sleeping under the stars…me more soundly than the rest. Because I didn’t hear the rain coming. Everyone else took cover and watched while the rain woke me up. Everyone had a good laugh…including me.
My condolences to David’s family. He was well thought of.
Are condolences to you! We will miss having Mr. Nutt up the hill! Cindy if you need anything we are here for you! Love Bobby and Evelyn
Such great memories of our high school days. Always kept everyone laughing. Thoughts and prayers for your family and friends.
I am a career ag teacher and always enjoyed visiting with David and hearing his stories. He enjoyed hunting at his Uncle Jack Nutt’s old place in Thornton, which was just down the road from our family’s place.
David was my favorite ag teacher we had such a cool friendship I’d go with him on weekends to do landscape jobs and he always made me laugh very awesome man gonna miss him Rest In Peace my friend we will see ya in heaven soon.
I’m sorry for your loss. I still have the muscadine vine he gave me when we worked together at Paris. He was fun to work with.
Mr. Nutt influenced a lot of kids that went through his programs. I knew him during my high school years at Paris. I have fond memories of my time in and out of the classroom with our trips to the National FFA conventions. I still remember his power walking and the smile on his face. Prayers of comfort for his family.
Just received this information. David worked with us at Paris and was a good friend. He and his agri kids had a softball team in our league and he was athletic and competitive and a joy to work with. My thoughts and prayers with the family.
Mr. Nutt was my Agriculture teacher at Paris. I had him my whole 4 years. He was a wonderful teacher and taught me a lot. He will be greatly missed. I am sorry for your loss.
Mr. Nutt was one of my favorite teachers back in high school at Paris. I will never forget his yellow shooting glasses and ball cap tucked into his belt during lunch, his infamous “Top Hand Award” and going to the FFA National Convention in 1988 to compete in the National Horticulture Judging Contest. A lot of us worked weekends at his farm planting/picking blueberries. Mr. Nutt made a huge impact on me and I’ll never forget him. May God bless his family during this time of loss.
