Jon Mack McNutt, 79, of Cheyenne, went home to his Heavenly Father on September 6, 2023, in Cheyenne. He was born on August 2, 1944 in Grand Island, Nebraska. He lived in Wyoming & Colorado most of his life, but always stayed true to his Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Jon worked in advertising most of his adult life. He was actively involved in Comitis, Denver Broadcasters Association, Jaycees, Boy Scouts, and Radio. With Western Cherokee heritage, he was heavily involved in getting the Western Cherokee Nation recognized as the representatives of the Western Cherokee Nation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He was also Council Chief for his band.
He was an avid Nebraska Cornhuskers fan but also faithfully yelled at the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Rockies��. You could hear his voice all over the stadium/ballpark. He was very proud to be left-handed and planned to replace Sandy Koufax until an injury ended his baseball “career”.
He is survived by twin brothers: Jimmy (his wife Carol) McNutt of Cheyenne, WY; Jerry (his wife Janet) McNutt of Chula Vista, CA; 3 daughters: Wendy (her husband Wally) Gordon of Strasburg, CO; Terryl (her husband Phil) Scharke of Colorado Springs, CO; Leslie Strong of Aurora, CO; 2 sons: William Stewart of Newnan, GA; Matthew (his wife Jen) Strong of Kanab, UT; many nieces and nephews; he dearly loved his grandchildren: Erica, Kendra, England (Jackie), Scott, Mattthew (Samantha), David, Ashley (Casey), Jordyn, Emelie & Ashton (Eli); along with his 11 great grandchildren that he doted on.
He was preceded in death by the LOVE OF HIS LIFE of 47 yrs, Beverly; 2 sisters, Pat Tull & Ida Lee Larson; his brother, Dean McNutt, and his parents, Rubye and Arless McNutt.
His sense of humor and passion for everything he did and everyone he loved will be missed. He never met a stranger and literally had friends all over the US.
His Celebration of Life is in the planning stages for Spring of 2024.
