He was surrounded by his family, whom he loved dearly, and a last round of really good bourbon.
Chris was born November 10, 1963 in Galesburg, IL to Thomas and Cora (Frisby) Dutton. He was united in marriage to Stacy Nemmers on June 3, 1989 in Davenport, IA. Chris was retired from Local Union 25, Plumbers & Pipefitters of Rock Island, IL.
Chris was a huge Chicago Bears fan and loved to watch the Little League World Series. To many, he was known as “Coach Chris,” and he loved sitting on his bucket while he coached his kids’ teams. Chris fancied himself a Master Jerky Maker and Pit Boss, as he loved cooking on his homemade smoker. He often spent his days just sitting outside with his dogs and enjoying the day, and was content in the end to be reuniting with his big brother, Eddie.
Survivors include his wife Stacy Dutton, Davenport, IA; son Matthew Dutton, Des Moines, IA; daughter Emily (Mitchell) Caffarini, Ottawa, IL; grandson Reid Christopher Caffarini; sister Marcia Jackson, Galesburg, IL; and nieces & nephews.
Cremation will be done with a celebration of life to be Saturday, May 25, 2024 in the upper level at Jersey Grill 5255 Jersey Ridge Rd Davenport IA. Memorials may be made in Chris’ name to Children’s Cancer Connection, his favorite charity who did so much for his family, at ccciowa.org; please share condolences with the family at www.rungemortuary.com
