Fairmont, WV - William Dale "Rusty" Stutler Jr., 69, passed away on October 24, 2025. He was born on February 18, 1956, the son of the late Barbara (Davis) and William "Red" Stutler.

Rusty is survived by his sister, Kathy Deane; his son, Shawn Stutler; and his beloved granddaughters, Cheyenne, Talia, and Zoey Stutler all of Fairmont. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews who will remember him with love and laughter. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Richard "Ricky" Stutler, and his son Daniel Stutler.

Rusty spent much of his life working in various pizza shops around Fairmont, where he was known for his hard work and friendly personality. He loved thrift shopping, yard sales, and collecting Harley-Davidson memorabilia. Rusty was also an avid bowler and horseshoe player who enjoyed sharing good times with friends and family.

Known for his selflessness, his heart of gold, and his great sense of humor, Rusty will be remembered fondly for bringing smiles to everyone around him—and for his unforgettable rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips."

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff of Maplewood Healthcare Center in Bridgeport for the compassionate care they provided during Rusty's final years.
