My condolences.

So sorry for your loss. We enjoyed him a great deal while caring for him. Quite the character with words of wisdom.

This guy was super!! He gave us all a hometown small feel for famous! A great source of advice and he will be missed! Thanks Eddie for standing bin the gap!

Taking the loss hard here, but finding comfort in the long life Coach led, the great accomplishments on the hardwood, and most importantly the many lives touched, mine among them...and I was just a 16-year-old basketball camper in the summer of 1984, sitting wide-eyed behind the basket in Barnhill. To my shock and awe, Coach Eddie Sutton even manned the snack bar and served me a soda between practices! So thrilled I was. Discipline. Dedication. Defense. Values instilled in so many of us...

Coach Sutton was my friend. He let me go on and on about my beloved UCLA Bruins! I begged to go coach there. Rest In Peace Coach and thank for being my friend,

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

To the family of Mr Sutton I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. May God grant you peace and comfort.

With heartfelt sympathy and prayers the late Don and Bonnie Pannell and I, Donis Pannell, will always cherish the years of memories with Coach Eddie Sutton. To Stephen, Scott, Sean, and their families caring thoughts and peace. ALWAYS a Hall of Fame Coach, friend, champion to college basketball, and game changer for so many athletes and others. Coach Suttons Legendary Spirit will forever live in my heart.

Deepest condolences to the Sutton family, may God be with in your time of sorrow.
