RIP Sut

Trent was my son. I still miss him everyday. He was my only son and the last of his line. I’ts hard but good to read about Trent’s effect on others. I hope that he will be well remembered. His mother and I are taking one day at a time sometimes one minute at a time. LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS ! We have had a tremendous outpouring from people who knew Trent. That has helped some. We have established a Trent Hutson Memorial Scholarship. It will provide at least one scholarship to a deserving person. I hope that Trent’s memory will have a positive impact even in his death. We had his organs donated. We just received a letter stating that his donation has helped, a 49 year old father of two who had debilitating heart disease, a 45 year old women with degenerative lung disease, a 57 year women with cirrhosis, a 45 year man with diabetes and kidney failure, an 11 year female who needed a kidney, plus more. All are doing gret and are home. As much as I’m glad he has helped people, I still miss him as it seems some of you do also. Thank you for helping keep Sutnerit alive !

I don’t know you people very well. I never met Sut. I do know that he was a well respected member and more importantly, Sut was a friend. Some look at suicide as giving up. Radical christians look at it as a sin. Sut’s suicide is neither, and it should be looked at as a tragic loss. The death of any youth, or H/P, certainly any friend and delightful individual should be mourned as a loss to humanity, and a loss to our community. I urge you all to bow your head and pray, regardless of your religious affiliation, pray for Sut, that he will find the peace in his afterlife, that he did not find in life.

Well, i new trent.
We didn’t usually get along
It’s still a sad time.
Of all the people in the world, trent was the last person who i would expect to commit suicide. Always up-beat and on top of the world. He had a high self image and i think that if things had gone any differently that night, any thing at all, that none of this would have ever happened. Trent, you will be missed. Weather you like it or not.

I am not amazed in the least that so many people came to pay their respects to a good friend. Evidently, SUT’s death did more good than he may ever know. A lot of differences were swept under the carpet; everyone, in their grief decided that SUT would not want them fighting over petty things when life has so much to offer. On behalf of everyone that’s life was changed (even temporarily) I’d like to thank SUT for letting us all get those differences worked out.

I had known SUT for longer than most, i remember him as one of the few who stuck around with #rock, even when the shit was going thru the fan… A mind is a terrible thing to waste? Fuck that, a life is a terrible thing to lose. I guess this finally made me realize that there are people on the other end on IRC. People with real lives. Even though I only knew SUT in his fake IRC life, it hurts me to know that he is gone in our real life. May his skill be recognized in Heaven, Hell, or Eternal Limbo.

As I sit here on my college campus and read of the news for the first time my heart is deeply grieved. To lose a friend is something that is not easily dealt with. Sut was a very skilled individual. One who appreciated the true meaning of the H/P scene… To educate. Sut being a very intelgent individual and one that had “common sense” was indeed a true and close friend of mine. MY heart starts to ache now and a tear comes to my eye as i type. Things become blury as is the reason of his death to me. All we can say, hope, and pray is that he is in a better place. A place where society will not degrade him for his moral beliefs. A place and time that we all will face, and must meet. Sut your knowledge and Love will live strong within our hearts. NPA will miss you. You were and ideal soldier in the army that we belong to. I cry because i miss you, but i smile because one
I hope to see you again.

I love you and will miss you forever.

FROM – <Gwonk> – macomb

There is nothing that I can say about SUT that will unveil his glory of being. He lived in Ohio, Indiana, California, and Illinois. He moved to my hometown the freshman year of his high school career. He went on to be Seinor Class President, while being in my advanced physics class which consisted of every phreaker and computer hacker in Macomb, IL. It was then when he became interested in the whole scene. He went on to make more connections than I have ever made within the community. Apparently, his attitude and his entire being came through over a computer, as well as standard social interaction.
Trent Hutson was a smart man. He earned a 32 on his ACT test, he had a 4.0 grade point average. His biggest problem during all of the events leading up to his death was that he felt too deeply.
I will go to his funeral tomorrow knowing that I saw him the day before his death, and that I saw him being pulled out of his house on a stretcher with blood all over him. I don’t think that his suicide was planned at any time when I was talking to him.
Everything is just screwed up in Macomb, where everyone is just confused on how such a thing would have happened.

Sut was a good person. When ever you went in a room, he was the first to greet you. I don’t know why he did this over a girl. I know what it feels like to be lonely. Heck, I have never not been lonely. I have thought about suicide so many times that it isn’t funny. But someone of us can take it. All I know that Sut was a good person, and didn’t deserve this. But God chooses our fates, and we are stuck with them. I just hope Sut is in that big pay phone in the sky. Bye. You will be missed.

I knew Sut as being a very Educated, skilled, and friendly person. He as always friendly and welcoming to me. Me and him explored the great inventions of “MAN” (The www and the personal computer). I didn’t know him as well as I wished I had but often things aren’t always as you’d like them to turn out. I’m assuming SUT is the same way as I am, I have a large need for Companionship and love, and thoughts of passing away have crossed my mind also but I could never draw myself to commit to it. However, I hope that he is happy where he is now and I wish the best for him. Sut IS a good man, and if his computer is on right now I hope that if he sees anything, I hope that he sees how much everyone loves him and that we will be missed much from the other side (The side from which you and I are right now). I feel as if a part of me has crossed over that fence with Sut, and I hope that all these wemen see that things aren’t always a joke! May sut rest in Peace and forever reside in all of our hearts, Minds, and in our souls..

And as for his decision, I can only say he made the wrong decision. Also Isolation X has decided to make a website dedicated to suicides, not just of teens, but suicide period.

I also won’t forget Sut’s pep talks to me when I would feel especially low or hurt about something. He was a wonderful and brilliant person.

Sutnerit has been my friend for a long time now, longer than I’ve known most of you. He was one of the oldschool #rock guys from way back when I started the channel in November of last year. He was always a good person, often came up as one of the first people we invited onto confs, and went out of his way to keep in touch even through the difficulties of college. I can imagine how upset he was when his girlfriend broke up with him… I know he loved her very much. I’m sorry he couldn’t deal with it though. I’ll miss him.

    Why is his name wrong everywhere here? It is Tirentus Eugene Hutson. I spoke with him on Monday, May 15th, 2017. I know it is not believable but it happened. I am trying to contact Tom Hutson as of today. Not Tom Macomb.
