It is with a great sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew Claude Hutton “Wimpy” at the age of 76 on January 4th, 2025.
Andrew was the first born of 10 children, to Jean and Claude Hutton on February 14th, 1948. Andrew was raised in the Ellscott, Alberta area, and while life took him on many adventures across North America, he returned home and pursued his career in the Oil & Gas sector as an Electrician. He married his true love, Shelly on May 14th, 2005. Together they permanently resided near Ellscott, although they often spent as much time away as possible. In their travels, they could be found surrounded by brotherhood, family and friends - hunting, fishing, or on their bikes, enjoying life to the fullest.
Andrew leaves to mourn his loving wife, Shelly. His children Vinton, Alma, Jason, Crystal, grandchildren, granddaughter Tianna, nieces and nephews; whom were all loved like his own, and Andy openly welcomed them with love. No precedence was ever given to relation, and no one was held above the other. He leaves behind fond memories, and joyous laughter to his siblings Larry, Sharon (Randy), Carey (Kim), Robert (Renee), and Wendy.
Andrew was predeceased by his son Mark, his Parents; Jean & Claude, his brothers; Arthur, Gordon, his sisters; Barbra-Anne, Trudy, and Deana (Lloyd) his brothers-in-law; Joe (Anita), Farron, Lloyd (Deana), his sister-in-law; Anita (Joe) and his Mother and Father in-law; Margaret and Fred.
