The hardest part I never met his wife Heide Nutt. It was the hardest moment, this happened to me twice. When My son was attending Kindergarten his friend was killed in a bus accident that we had witness. So for the past ten years I have been dealing with my son and my husband. The little boy name was Tyler Powers. I met with Tylers parents and I met with Mrs Nut. Both of them suffered night mares I had to have dealt with.

For Heidi Nutt, there was no doubt about David Nutt.
"I knew it from the moment I met him," she said. The two were married seven months after meeting at Fort Campbell, where he was in the Army and she worked in child services. "He was just a proud, wonderful man," she said. "A strong soldier who never complained." Nutt, 32, of Blackshear, Ga., was driving a five-ton truck in Iraq May 14 when he swerved to avoid an automobile driven by an Iraqi civilian. The truck overturned and Nutt was killed. Nutt joined the Army in 1995, and met Heidi the following year. He is also survived by their 4-year-old daugther, Emily.
Heidi Nutt last spoke with her husband on May 12, the day after Mother's Day. She says she remembers every word. "He wanted to wish me a happy anniversary and he couldn't wait to come home to see us," she said. Page: A29Copyright, 2003, Staten Island Advance. All Rights Reserved.
