Roy & Nancy Rutt

Roy was born in Denver, Colorado to Emma Rutt (Schoen) and Reuben Rutt on August 10, 1938. He is survived by his brother Ken (Deb) Rutt and was preceded in death by both his parents, his sisters Helen (Vincent) Doyle and Betty (Sam) Yeager, and his brother Robert (Joyce) Rutt.

Roy married the love of his life, Nancy (Coliff) on November 19, 1960. He will be sorely missed by his wife and children, Lisa (Curtis) Foxworth and Chuck (Debbie) Rutt. Family was always at the heart of everything they did. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren grow up, Crystal (Mark) Menke, Vanesa (Brandon) Hess, Corey (Teresa) Foxworth, and Kyla Rutt. He attended as many of their life events as possible. The great grandkids held a special place in his heart, Kyndle Menke, Cali Hess, Makena Menke and Ryker Hess. He so enjoyed their visits and watching as they grew.

There are so many treasured memories. Camping and fishing on the Elk River, eating the corn out of the garden, creating gifts from his wood working or building a cage for a hamster. The grandkids will always remember tubing behind the tractor, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and our family trips.

Roy enjoyed collecting coins, working on his ancestry, photography and anything that had to do with airplanes. Roy was a history buff and enjoyed traveling with Nancy.

Roy was always generous, willing to give or help anyone in need. We'll always remember your sayings.

Somewhere in fine print you will always find the meaning of life

No Returns, No Takebacks

Roy was proud of his service to the Navy from 1956 to 1960. His stories about Midway and the goonie birds will always be a favorite.

Roy was a dedicated employee for the FAA and retired after 34 years as the Manager of Airway Facilities Sector Denver Center.

Roy’s Celebration of Life will be at a later date with more details to follow.
