Johnny Sutton was born next door at the Fleming Memorial Hospital and has made Elgin his home for over 60 years. In 1975, he married his high school sweetheart, Marchelle and together they've been blessed with three beautiful daughters, Jennifer Elaine Baker, Andrea Michelle Warner and Cassandra Caron Sutton; and four grandchildren.
Johnny's first job was working for his father, Virgle at Sutton's Gulf Station, which was located directly across the highway from what's now the Dairy Queen. He and his father then partnered up and bought Pop's Place, a Domino Hall and Tavern on Main Street. In 1982, he began employment with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where he worked for over 29 years of service, before retiring in 2011.
After retirement, he joined the family at Elgin Funeral Home and has used his charismatic personality and sharp wit to make families feel at right at home.
He's a longtime member of the Grace Lutheran Church. He and Marchelle spend their time lovin' on the grandbabies and seeking out all types of unique collectibles for his store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlastToThePast. Since retirement, Johnny has become quite the curator and purveyor of antiques.
His other hobbies include playing golf with his buddies, riding his Harley, and finding time to sit by a stock tank with a wet hook. If you ever wanna just wanna talk with someone or meet a guy who could acquiesce with a faster comeback than the old gunslingers of the west, then just strike up a conversation with Johnny the next time you come to visit!
