Daniel S. McNutt, 92, went home to be with the Lord Saturday, September 26, after a full and long life. His firm belief in God and his strong devotion to family were the hallmarks of his life.
Daniel was born to the late James and Della McNutt in Bullitt County, Kentucky. He served in the army during World War II for three years and after discharge he used his G.I. benefits to attend Trevecca Nazarene University to prepare for full time ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. At Trevecca he met his sweetheart, Nora Dean Gilliam, whom he married and loved with his whole heart for the rest of his life.
He was a devoted husband, a loving hands-on father and later “a good Pa” to two grandsons whom he adored. He ministered faithfully to 7 different congregations and remained friends to the end with many of his former parishioners. He was active in his community and in his children’s schools. His ministry did not stop at the church walls but reached out to all that he came in contact with.
He is survived by his daughters Danna McNutt and Margaret (Ronald) Billow, two grandsons Matthew (Heather) and Vaughn Billow, and great grandson Jackson Dean Billow. He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, one sister and his loving wife of 52 years.
A memorial service will be held at the Fremont Nazarene Church Oct. 12th at 11 am with interment at Springhill Cemetery, Nashville, Tennessee at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Nora Dean McNutt Memorial Scholarship at Trevecca Nazarene University (333 Murfreesboro Pike, Nashville, Tennessee 37210).

Without a doubt, Heaven is celebrating and welcoming one of earth’s angels. He is now among SO many that he won over to the Lord. I know most of my growing up years he and your family were MY family… I can’t tell you how very much the First Church of the Nazarene in Chillicothe meant to me. It truly made me who I am today. I am sorry for your loss and the pain of loosing your dad, there are no words to comfort that loss. It is simply something we learn to live with. I can hear the angels singing…
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise him all creatures here below, Praise him above yea Heavenly Host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost….
I love you all…. Know you are in our prayers and thoughts.

Danna & Margaret – you mom and dad made a huge impact on my life – they loved and encouraged me in my walk with the Lord – I remember a time when I encountered a crisis in my family and I dropped in, unannounced, at the parsonage and poured out my heart to them and they listened, counseled and prayed with me – they truly were awesome pastors, friends and role models for this, at the time, young christian. I don’t know where I would be today without their touch on my life. Continue praying for God’s peace and comfort for your family.

Our deepest sympathy at the loss of your father and grandfather. Reverend McNutt officiated at our wedding, July 22, 1967. We have such fond memories of Dean and Daniel at Chillicothe First Church of the Nazarene. Your Dad presented such wonderful sermons. I was in the choir that Dean directed. We had such great times at first church. God bless each one of you; May God put His arms of love about you giving you comfort and peace. All our love and deepest sympathy, Jack and Karen Edler
