David Byron Dutro Obituary (1933 - 2021)

Graduation Year Class of 1951
Date of Birth Jul 06, 1933
Date of Passing Dec 06, 2021
About David B. Dutro, Sr., 88, formerly of Orofino, passed away peacefully with his son Dave and his grandson Gabe by his side on December 6, 2021 at Hospice of Coeur d’Alene, and he will be missed by his family and friends.
David was born July 6, 1933, in Zanesville, Ohio, and lived most of his life in California.
In 1983 he moved to Sandpoint, Idaho, and in 1985 he and his son Dave moved to Orofino, Idaho, where he lived until 2017, when he moved in with his son in Coeur d’Alene.
David had three children, Dave Dutro, Jr., Madaline Orie, and Daniel Dutro.
He is also survived by his brother Jerry Dutro of Orofino, Idaho, his grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
David loved to spend time working on his Nomad, camping, and hunting.
One time he and his son Dave were hunting in the Red River area, and Dave was trying to fill his moose tag. They went out scouting on a Sunday morning and David specifically told his son “Don’t shoot anything, it’s Sunday and I want to get home to watch football”.
Two hours later Dave showed his dad the moose he had shot. After David finished hyperventilating, they started cutting the moose into 1/8ths and packing it out of the woods. Needless to say there was no football watching that day!
A celebration of David’s life will be held on June 27, 2022, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., at The Brass Rail. If you have time please swing by and raise a glass to this grumpy old man.
