William Brian Tuttle, 58, affectionately known as B.T., passed away peacefully, Friday, March 6, 2026, in his beloved hometown of Mt. Sterling, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma.
Born April 23, 1967, he was the son of Cecil and Mary Alice Ishmael Tuttle. He graduated from Montgomery County High School, where he played football. He was a member of the First Baptist Church, and a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. He was known for his vibrant personality, infectious smile, and the ability to connect with everyone he met. He truly never met a stranger. He dedicated his life to his family and his business in the ice making and delivery industry. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, from tending to his cherished garden to exploring the breathtaking trails of Red River Gorge, and the serenity of kayaking. As a devoted grandfather, he took immense pride in his role as “PAP,” creating lasting memories with his grandchildren filled with laughter and love.
In addition to his parents survivors include his loving wife, Peggy Benton Tuttle; children, Ben Tuttle (Vanessa), Matt Tuttle (Angelica), Chay Nipper (Casey Browning) and Macy Hatton (Mason); grandchildren, Tripp Tuttle, Trace Tuttle, Dutton William, Jackson Howard, Jettson Howard and Jace Howard; siblings, Cecilia Floyd (Tommy) and Steven Tuttle; nieces and nephews, Morgan Floyd, Jon Floyd, Rezin Tuttle and Adrienne Tuttle; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; special nurse and first cousin who took great care of him in his later weeks and days, Claire Ishmael Pruner; two special childhood friends, Jim Gay and Shannon Lansdale, who visited him while he was sick.
The community is invited to celebrate his life and legacy at a memorial service that will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, March 14, at the First Baptist Church with Pastor Chris Wells officiating. Visitation will be 5-8 p.m. Friday at the church.
Honorary pallbearers will be Shannon Lansdale, Jim Gay, Andy Blair, Kevin Crosslin, Tim Lyons, Ryan Steger, Mark Steger, Chris Steger, Billy Stull, Walton Williams, Rick Williams, Dave Ishmael and the Football Class of 1984.
