Let's talk about that dash in the middle of those dates. William was born to Carolyn and Rickey Tutor, a Christmas gift only God could deliver. His life started like most kids the apple of moms eyes the pride of his daddy.

Five short years later that kid wanted a horse.. into our lives entered Peaches... and the world changed.. he spent day after day riding and perfecting being a Cowboy.. he loved hunting he loved to go fishing.. he won countless trophies, belt buckles and saddles as he conquered being a Cowboy.

In 2013 he was destroyed when his dad, Rickey, left this world.. he went on to get a couple jobs and decided putting up medal buildings and carpenter work was his occupation.. making countless friends along the way.

As fate to often goes the demons of lost love followed him through his adulthood. On October 3rd God released him from the chains holding him down.. he was set free. He left behind his his mom, Carolyn Tutor Morgan and his stepdad, Rodney Morgan of Bruce, MS, big brother, Casey Wayne Tutor of Bruce, MS, sister Chloe Morgan of Calhoun City, MS, a beautiful baby girl, Charleigh Grace (Summer Sultan) of Calhoun City, MS, and William's grandmother, Jean Hughes Chandler of Houlka, MS. Countless uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends. He left us all with smiles and laughter along the way with his big heart and larger than life personality.

William was met at the Gates of heaven by his Father Rickey Dean Tutor, great grandparents: William and Grace Hughes, Doyle and Pauline Melton, Rev. Artis and Jimmy Burt Tutor, John and Opal Clark. Along with his grandparents RV and Wayne Tutor, Bernice Crowson Tutor, Raymond Hughes, Beth and Billy Hardin.

A funeral service to honor and remember William's life and legacy will be Wednesday October 15, 2025 at 3:00 PM. in Parker Memorial Funeral Home Chapel of Bruce, MS with Bro. James Taylor, Bro. Will Turner, and Bro. Trey Logan officiating. Visitation will be held at the same location from 1:00 PM. until 3:00 PM.

William will be laid to rest with his family at the Oak Springs Cemetery in Derma, MS with Jamie Bevils, Mikey Hardin, Dallas Turner, Adam McCammon, James Smith, and Ethan Tutor serving as pallbearers.

The family ask for prayer as we navigate through this difficult time and prepare to say the goodbye that we weren't expecting to say.. our families want to thank everyone for the out pouring of love we have felt during this devastating loss and ask for continued prayers... Thank You All..
