James Edward Hutten

December 27, 1938 — November 18, 2025

Lake Placid

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Hutten, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, who left this world peacefully in the embrace of his loving family in Sebring, Florida.

James shared an extraordinary bond with his beloved wife, Elaine Hutten, celebrating 66 remarkable years of marriage. Together, they cultivated a warm and loving family, filled with cherished memories. He was a proud father to David (Sue), Daniel "Dan" (Hope), Timothy "Tim" (Illenia), and Robert “Rob” (Penny), and a doting grandfather to Seth, Genoa, Brad, Daniel “Danny,” Brittney, Cyrena “C.C.,” Beau, Maggie, Chandler, Mckenna, Mckenzie, Amira, and Amir. His heart swelled with joy as he welcomed five great-grandchildren into his life, each a testament to the love he so generously shared.

A man of creativity and innovation, James made significant contributions in the field of design, leaving behind a legacy marked by numerous patents and ideas that will endure through time. His work was not merely a profession but a reflection of his imaginative spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence.

James's early years were spent in a quaint town near Detroit, Michigan, where his love for adventure blossomed. He often rode his bike, exploring the scenic beauty of the Michigan lakes, which became a lifelong passion. Sailing was among his greatest joys, and he relished trips back to those cherished waters with Elaine, creating countless memories along the way.

Beyond his many accomplishments, James's most profound treasure was his family. His zest for life was immeasurable, yet the love he held for his family was unparalleled. Though he will be deeply missed by all who knew him, his life lessons and the delightful memories he imparted will forever remain etched in the hearts of those he loved.

In honoring the memory of James Hutten, we celebrate a life filled with love, adventure, and the indelible mark he has left on those fortunate enough to have known him. His spirit will continue to inspire and guide his family, a testament to a life well-lived.
