Sailor McLean Sharbutt was born June 30, 2011, to Justin and Summer McLean Sharbutt in Lubbock, Texas.

Sailor came into this world full of wonder, authenticity, amazement, and imagination that most would envy! He was a very inquisitive young man and enjoyed learning about all kinds of new things, which made him wise beyond his years! Sailor possessed many wonderful qualities, however, genuine kindness and heartfelt compassion for others seemed to be at his core and what drove him to live life to the fullest every single day! Sai Sai was a role model for, and deeply admired by, young and old alike. The number of people’s lives he touched in the short 11 years he was with us on this side of eternity is inconceivable. Sailor’s favorite sport was basketball, and he cherished the pickup games in the backyard with his big brother Swade. Sailor always had a love for the outdoors, and over the past several years, his passion and love for hunting and fishing had grown so much that it was just about all he ever talked about! At the young age of 8, Sailor invited Jesus to live in his heart and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. He took the job of spreading the word to others and leading by example very seriously.

Sailor will be missed every day by his father, Justin Sharbutt, and his wife Hillary; mother, Summer Sharbutt, and her loving boyfriend and Sailor’s buddy, Rick Bassett; siblings, Swade and Olivia Sharbutt, Brylee and Bree Burchett; paternal grandparents David and Patsy Sharbutt; maternal grandparents Charles and Jill McLean; aunts and uncles Cassie Lyon and husband John, Tina McCutchin and husband Brent, and Amanda Spearman and husband Jordan; cousins Cooper Lyon and Wesson Lyon, Maddy, Ella, and Luke McCutchin, Tex and Davy Spearman.

Sailor, 11 years old, went to heaven on Friday, January 13, 2023, from injuries sustained in a tragic ATV accident. His passing was unexpected, and we will dearly miss our little angel until we reunite in heaven. Being the giving and selfless person he was, Sailor gave the gift of life to two other children through organ donations. Not only did he get his wings, but he also got a superhero cape! He was a beloved son, grandson, brother, cousin, and friend to many.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I wish you were still here

I remember in 2nd grade I was playing Basketball and I was not the best at it but Sailor came and decided to pick me and i remember that moment changed me and his relationship I was so happy coming it hurts that he is gone and I will always remember him we became friends and never will forget that he made me feel good about myself

Sailor didn't know me personally but I knew him. He was and always will be one of the funniest kid I've ever met. You touched so many peoples lives, and I want you to know that you made a difference! Rest in peace little buddy!

Summer, Cassie, Charles & Jill I just wanted to let you all know I have been, and will be praying for each of you in the loss of such a sweet handsome young man. I'm so sad to have missed his celebration today and hugging all your necks (due to the weather). I watched the live feed and it was very sweet and just perfect. Great songs, great memories & videos, stories, and great sermon. What a funny, talented kid Sailor was. Wish I would've known him. Just know you all will be in my thoughts, and prayers for a very long time. I love all of you and my heart aches for you.

Summer, I'm so sorry for your loss. I ask God to give you and your family peace and comfort during these sad days, until you meet Sailor in Heaven again. Much love to you 💜🌹

Youll always be my friend. #2- Mikey Tyler

I asked Tinley to think of her favorite memory of Sailor. She said there were too many, but she did recount this year when they were partnered to write a scary story together. They wrote it and Sailor said, “It’s not funny enough.” So he added more to it to make it funny. After they presented it to the class the class said, “The story was supposed to be scary!?” Tinley’s response was, “You know Sailor…” Our most sincere condolences for your families loss. Cling to the hope and peace that only comes from Jesus. And remember all the good memories of Sai Sai! So many! Love, Geanna, Tinley, and Treyton Tubbs

You are in our prayers. I am so thankful that he knew Jesus, and that there will be a grand reunion someday. Until then, I pray for God's loving arms to surround your family and bring you peace. We love you. David and Karen Ray

I am so sorry. Losing this precious boy by all of his family is heartbreaking. Our children are not suppose to leave first. I pray comfort and peace from God above...to all who love and were touched by Sailors life.

I’m so very sorry. This little man did a lot of living in 11 years!! Such a precious little boy!!!!! I am praying for you all in this devastating loss. Terri Caldwell

We wanted to share a sweet memory of Sailor. We ran into Sailor and Summer at the movies one evening and hadn’t seen each other in awhile. Sailor was amazed at how much Landon had grown, but the thing he kept saying was how much he wanted Landon’s mustache! We have loved and laughed about that many, many times since. What a great kid, what a loving, beautiful family. I know Sailor’s light is shining even brighter in heaven. I don’t know how it possibly could, but I find comfort and strength in that. Our love , our thankfulness for his life, and our prayers are with you all. Thank you, God for your faithfulness!

May God hold Sailor and all who love him in the palm of His hand — now and always!

Praying for all of you. May God cover you with His love and peace.

So very, very sorry that you are having to endure this. As you grieve know that we are remembering you...

I am so sorry Sailor has passed. He was such a bright spot to my day when I worked at Central. I loved it when he would come by the nurses office for a hug on his way to class. I have no doubt he is putting on a great show for those in heaven!! And I am pretty sure he is eating unlimited Starbucks cake pops!! Love you Sailor!!

Prayers for strength. Words cannot express our sorrow for your loss. All our love, Kelli Carroll and Vicki Palumbo
