Maynard "Ed" Tuten, 82, of Immokalee and Naples, Florida passed away in Naples on March 23, 2023 following a long illness. He was born in Kissimmee, Florida on December 5, 1940 to Dardenella Johnson Tuten and Jack Edward Tuten. Mr. Tuten was a farmer by trade and a fisherman by love of the sport.
Ed was one of a dwindling number of old time Immokalee vegetable farmers who were the heart of the SW Florida vegetable industry and successfully raised their families through the fruits of their labor. Ed was a quick wit and always ready to provide a word of advice and share his vast knowledge of veegtable farming.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
He leaves behind to cherish the memories his wife; Rebecca Mackey Tuten, daughters; De Ann Young, Becky Jo Tuten, sons; Jack Tuten, Mack Tuten and four grandchildren.
He will have a Memory of Life Memorial service on Tuesday March 28, 2023 at The First United Methodist Church of Immokalee on 9th Street.
The family is asking that in lieu of flowers please make a donation in the name of Maynard Tuten to Avow Hospice of Naples to Avowcares.Org or mail to:
Avow Hospice
