Dr. Lendon Dale Dutton passed away on Feb. 21, 2021.

He was born on Aug. 18, 1932, to Troy Dutton and Allie Mae Luckie Dutton in Hamilton. He grew up in Indian Gap, TX and graduated from Pottsville High School. Lendon attended the University of Texas for two years and then attended the University of Texas Dental School in Houston. He graduated in 1956, with his doctorate in dentistry.

Upon graduation, he joined the Army and served two years as an army dentist and attained the rank of captain. Afterwards he opened a dental practice in Plano. His first year there he met Anne Carpenter and married her within a year. Lindy and Anne were married just shy of 61 years, when Anne passed away in June 2020.

Lendon and Anne moved their family to Jacksboro in 1973, and he retired from dentistry and took up ranching and investing. Lendon served on the Jacksboro School Board for 9 years, several of those years as president of the board. He and Anne spent years serving as boosters to the Jacksboro Band as well. He dedicated his time to his town and community and most of all his family.

Lendon is survived by his three children Jeff Dutton, wife Melissa, D’Anne KinCannon, Lenda Davidson, husband Corey, and grandchildren Justin Davidson, Ande Davidson Ryckman, husband Jacob, Lendon Dutton, wife Savannah, and Ali Dutton. He is also survived by his brother Uriel Dutton, and his children.

Due to COVID-19, we chose not to have a service at the time of his passing, and instead we have created a website to celebrate his life and our love for him, and his love for his family and friends. We apologize to his friends and loved ones that it has taken so long to accomplish this.

We are also going to have a Celebration of Life for both Lendon and Anne Dutton on Saturday, Sept. 25 from 1-4 p.m., at Prosperity Bank Community Room (201 S. Main St. in Jacksboro). We hope that their friends will be able to attend to help us celebrate this very special couple.

We welcome any comments or memories that you would like to share with us in the comment section.
