Garry Elton Tuttle, aged 88, passed away on Monday, February 2, 2026, in Brush, Colorado. Born on August 9, 1937, in Hale, Colorado, Garry was the beloved son of Elmer H. Tuttle and Letha M. Woodside, Tuttle, Carlson.

Garry spent his childhood alongside his siblings, Connie Rae Tuttle and Dennis Loren Tuttle. He attended Wheat Ridge High School and later embarked on a fulfilling career with Miller Supermarket, Drive Train Industries, and Napa Auto Parts. Throughout his life, Garry resided in Hale, Northglenn, and Thornton, Colorado.

He was a devoted husband to the late Gloria Mae (Rivera) Tuttle.

Garry was predeceased by his son Troy Allen Tuttle, who lived from 1977 to 1997.

Garry found joy in bowling and watching Bronco's football games. As a member of the Lutheran community, he was known for his achievements, including bowling a perfect 300 game on January 29, 1995. His life was characterized by his humor, love for his family, and dedication to his hobbies.

In remembrance of Garry, we reflect on the words of Christine Currah:

"Remember me when I am gone

But not with sorrow, pain and grief

Think of me as a turning leaf

That in the winter falls from its branch

To be born again in spring

And live forever in your heart."

Garry Elton Tuttle will be remembered as a joker, bowler, and a loving individual.
