Mr. Walton A. Hutcheson Jr.

Walton “Bud” Alexander Hutcheson, Jr. of San Antonio, Texas passed away peacefully on December 18, 2021 at the age of 88. He is survived by his sons, Scott A. Hutcheson (Kathy) and Stuart A. Hutcheson (Monica) and his grandchildren, Layne Howell (Brian), Alyssa Sullivan (Trey), Alexandra Hutcheson and Harrison Hutcheson. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 62 years, Jerry Hutcheson.

Bud was born on April 2, 1933 in San Antonio, Texas. He attended Edison High School and later served in the United States Army during the Korean War. After the war, Bud worked Civil Service at Kelly AFB for 35 years retiring in 1988. He then began a secondary career as a General Contractor with March Construction, retiring again at age 76.

Anyone who had the privilege to cross paths with Bud knew of his knowledge and passion for learning how things worked and how to fix them. He certainly was never without the tool to complete the job. He was always looking to pass that knowledge and passion on. The people who benefited the most were his sons and grandson and will forever be thankful to have his guidance. The other half of Bud’s life was spent in the outdoors where more often than not he could be found in Rockport at the home he and Jerry built catching trout and redfish. If he wasn’t there, he was more than likely putting his gun collection to use in South Texas hunting white tails or out in the desert looking for mule deer. He was again never without the right tool. While he had many hobbies, none surpassed his love for spending time with his family. He will be greatly missed.

A memorial gathering will be held February 20th. Please email khutcheson@satx.rr.com for details and location.
