Billy Sutton was born August 23, 1963 in Nowata, Oklahoma to William H. Sutton and Mary Georgiann Armstrong-Sutton. He attended schools in Nowata until high school when he transferred and graduated from Lenapah. Mr. Sutton had been driving a truck for Bonham Trucking for the last several years. Mr. Sutton was also a race car driver. He drove in the Pure Stock class at the dirt track in South Coffeyville quite often. When he wasn't racing, he was driving the wrecker at the races. He had a love for racing that extended from working on motors to watching Jeff Gordon and NASCAR on television. He also enjoyed morning coffee at the Bliss and visiting with friends. But, perhaps the time he enjoyed most was the special fishing trips he took with his mom, or enjoying a visit from the children and grandchildren. Mr. Sutton is survived by his mother, Mary Sutton of Nowata; by a daughter, Tristina French of Nowata; by a son, Dillion Dobbs of Nowata; by a sister, Brenda Savala of Nowata; by grandchildren, Bre-Lynn French and Jacob French; by nephews, Jeffery Sutton and Shane Savala; by a niece Monica Savala of Nowata; and by a special friend Brandy Combs and her daughter Stacey Guffey. He was preceded in death by his father.
