John Wesley Hutchins departed his earthly life peacefully in the early hours of September 26, 2026, at Riverview Health and Rehabilitation Center in Savannah, GA. He was born on March 31, 1939, in Savannah, Georgia to the late Lacy “Charlie” Hutchins, Sr. and the late Lucy Williams Hutchins.

John graduated from Alfred E. Beach High School. He had many nicknames (“Red”, “Sweet Man”, “Sweet” but was known to his family as “Wesley”). He grew up in the Grimble Point community. He was a brick mason by trade and spent many years mixing the compound to lay bricks for many structures still standing today.

He will be remembered for his soft-spoken voice, radiant smile and trademark laugh; also, as a man who loved God, family, and church.

After relocating to Hampton, GA, Wesley joined the Love Joy Family Church, where he found a welcoming church family. He recently returned to Savannah due to declining health.

In Savannah, he was visited by his brother twice a day, who brought him his favorite foods as they shared lots of laughs and memories up to the day of his passing.

He was preceded in death by his son, Shaun Hutchins, siblings, Arthur “Dave” Hutchins, Minerva Hunter, Paul Hutchins, and Mary Ann Gibson.

Wesley leaves cherished memories to his brother, Lacy Hutchins, Jr., of Savannah, GA; son, Michael Keith Williams (Audrey) of Savannah, GA; daughter-in-law, Irene Hutchins of Jonesboro GA; brother-in-law, John Gibson of Victorville, CA and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and friends.
