The Colbert County community is mourning the passing Bobby Stutts, of a beloved school bus driver who lost his battle with coronavirus.
Then thrown out and a new trial began.
The colbert county community is mourning the passing of a beloved school bus driver who lost his battle with coronavirus.
62-year-old bobby stutts died sunday at helen keller hospital after fighting the virus for weeks.
Waay31's breken terry spoke with stutts' widow and the school district on this tremendous loss, breken?
Stutts' wife told me bobby drove a bus for the county for more than five years.
The father and grandfather could be a strict bus driver when he needed to be but would do anything for anyone.
His family and this school system are missing him more than they can explain.
Stutts- he loved his family and most of all he loved the lord jesus christ.
I spoke with michelle stutts over the phone about her husband bobby.
The two shared 19 years together.
Stutts- we ate here once a week everybody did.
He was always here too.
Those weekly family dinners will have one less person because of coronavirus.
The family also hurts because they say bobby took all the recommended coronavirus precautions and they just don't know where he could've gotten it.
But he did get sick.
Michelle said her husband fought it as best he could, but he had to be admitted to the hospital on october 20th.
Michelle couldn't be there with him, but bobby was surrounded by nurses and doctors all trying to save him.
Stutts- she was crying as she was trying tell me.
She was very compassionate.
Bobby stutts was a beloved bus driver too.
His main school route was at colbert heights.
Staff members put out this sign asking for prayers.
When he passed his bus students sent this arrangement to his funeral.
Stutts- it really broke my heart i guess because they are gonna miss him too.
Michelle said bobby's fellow bus drivers and the colbert county school district have shown her family so much love and support.
That's something she won't forget.
Stutts- i knew bobby was a good man all the time i've known him but i don't think i really realized how good of a man he was until he died until people started commenting and commenting on stuff.
Bobby's colleagues and others are raising money for his headstone.
Michelle told me she's had her moments but shes trying to be strong for her family.
Live in colbert co bt waay31.
Thanks breken.

He cherished his bus kids like they were his family.
His presence will be sorely missed."
