There is deep sadness and a tremendous void at Collins Hill and many other youth sport organizations today, as Tom “Hutt” Hutton passed away Monday, March 24^th.  Tom devoted much of his spare time to officiating baseball, basketball and football for Gwinnett County organizations.  His love of sports and the kids who played were evident to everyone he met.  Tom was a beloved part of our Collins Hill Athletic Association and even travelled to Cooperstown, NY with the 13-U Eagles in the summer of 2007.  That trip and tournament will not soon be forgotten by the kids, coaches or parents who attended.  Tom took a great opportunity for the boys and made it an extraordinary event!   When not calling a game, Tom was on the stands watching his daughter cheer at Collins Hill football games.   Tom was a true friend and mentor to the many lives he touched.  His spirit and wisdom will continue in the hearts of the kids and coaches, each time the take the field.    Our organization and children are stronger as a result of Tom’s impact and he will truly be missed. 

Tom was 47 years old and leaves behind a wife (Cheryl) , an adult son (Jordan), and a young daughter (Shantel), in addition to other family members and friends around the country.
