‘My heart is broken’: Readers remember Daufuskie’s Dave Hutton

Dave Hutton was a big man with a big heart.

And while he was only 27 when he died during a hunting trip to Montana earlier this month, he packed a lot into those 27 years.

Hutton was one of the ‘Daufuskie 100,’ a group that gained national fame for deciding to stay behind on Daufuskie Island as Hurricane Matthew beat down the door of the Lowcountry in October.

He was remembered this week by friends and family, and honored by many who are just now learning of his story.

Here’s a sample of the comments posted on our Facebook page regarding Hutton.
