Clyde Wesley Nutter, 80 of Gay, passed away at Camden Clark Medical Center on Monday, May 11, 2026. He was born May 2, 1946 in Charleston, a son of the late Clyde and Hattie Brooks.

He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Sharon Nutter; brothers, Cletus Nutter, Charles Nutter, Carl Nutter, and Johnny Asbury; and sisters, Phyllis Sampson and BettyLou Martin. In honoring his wishes, there will be a graveside in the Jackson County Memory Gardens in Cottageville on Friday, May 15, 2026 at 1p.m. with pastor Lymon Anderson officiating.
