Michael Campbell Cutts (Mike), 61, died peacefully on Thursday, February 2, 2017 in South Hill, VA surrounded by family. He was born on February 6, 1955 in Oxford, NC to Katie Suitt Cutts and Pettis Stuart Cutts.

Michael graduated from J.F. Webb High School in Oxford, NC and immediately began a long and successful career as a tobacco auctioneer at just eighteen years of age in Adel, Georgia. Sixteen years later, while proudly serving the Danville, VA tobacco market, Michael won the R.J. Reynolds World Tobacco Auctioneering Championship. He is one of only nine men who will ever hold this title.

Michael was a friend to everyone and loved to make everyone smile and laugh. He always had a story to tell that would brighten your day, usually involving his friends Keith Cox, Jimmy Watkins, Barry Dillehay, Robert “Bongo” Currin, Powell Fox, and many others.

He is survived by his son, Michael (Emily) Cutts of Raleigh, NC, and daughter, Jessie (Michael) Decker of Danville, VA, and his three grandchildren: Holland and Edwin Cutts, and Levi Decker. Also, surviving him are his sisters Pam (Frank) Mihalik of Ormond Beach, FL, Melba (Bill) Baker of Clarksville, VA, Cheri (Randy) Hart of Oxford, NC, and Cynthia (Stanley) Tucker of Richmond, VA. Additionally, he is survived by his dear friend Dorothy Alford of South Hill, VA. He is preceded in death by his oldest sister Debbie (Howard) Stallings, mother Katie, and father Stuart of Oxford, NC.

A visitation will take place on Sunday, February 5, 2017 at 12:30 p.m. at Eakes Funeral Home, with a memorial service immediately following at 2:00 p.m.

When we pray, “Let your Kingdom come,” we are asking that the Kingdom take decisive action. When the Kingdom comes, it will exert its full power toward the earth. It will remove the present wicked system of things, including all man-made governments, and bring in a righteous new world. (Dan. 2:44; 2 Pet. 3:13) Then, under Kingdom rule, the entire earth will become a paradise. (Luke 23:43) Those in God’s memory will be brought back to life and reunited with their loved ones. (John 5:28, 29) Obedient humans will reach perfection and enjoy endless life on earth. (Rev. 21:3-5; Ps 37:11,29) At last, earth will be in perfect harmony with heaven, reflecting the will of God! Do you not long to see those Bible promises come true? Remember that every time you pray for God’s Kingdom to come, you are praying for those precious promises to be fulfilled.

Dear Cutts Family,

It is with deep regret that I will not be able to attend Michael's service today.

Michael and I shared so much together from our time growing up in Oxford to being roommates for many years in Wilson,NC. It was so special for me to be with Michael when he won the World Tobacco Auctioneering Championship in Danville, VA. A true champion he was!

You all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Rest In Peace my good friend.

So sorry to learn of Michel's passing. I will always remember Michael as the mischievous sparkly eyed little brother of my neighborhood best friends. There were good times on Grove and Delacroix back in the 50's and 60's and it seems like just yesterday. Please know that the Cutts sisters and extended families are in my thoughts and prayers.
