Daniel "Danny" L. Kutch Sr.

Daniel “Danny” L. Kutch Sr., 63, fought a courageous battle of COPD with his twin sister faithfully by his side and on March 19, 2017 lost his battle. He was born on July 9, 1953 in Ft. Lawton, WA to Robert Lee Kutch and Delores (Aubrey) Kutch.

Danny grew up with 4 brothers and 3 sisters, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He enjoyed playing little league baseball, fishing, camping, and long walks, which inspired a lot of poetry he had written; one such poem ending up in Reader’s Digest.

He attended Catholic schools and was very proud of his Native American heritage, being a member of the Blackfeet and Shoshone Nations.

The biggest and proudest moment of his life was when Daniel Jr. was born and learning of his granddaughter Rayna Bella.

He later in life met and married Rhetta who he loved and missed dearly after her passing.

He is survived by his twin sister, Dale Larraine Kutch; his son, Daniel Jr., and granddaughter, Rayna Bella Kutch; siblings, Robert L. Kutch, Patricia L. Kutch, Randy and Olivia Buttrey, Steven and Geri Buttrey, Todd and Brenda Edwards, Drucella Horseman, and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Rhetta Kutch; parents, Robert J. and Delores Buttrey; brother, Anthony “Tony” Kutch; and nephew, Darren Lee Kutch. At a very young age Danny was preceded in death by his father, Robert L. Kutch Sr.
