ST. AUGUSTINE, FL -- A road on the First Coast has been renamed to honor a fallen soldier.

This morning the St. Johns County board of County Commissioners re-named Whetstone Place as Sgt. Tutten Drive. It's located off of State Road 312 near Flagler Hospital.

Sgt. Bryan Tutten, 33, was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on Christmas Day. Tutten went to St. Augustine High School.

Tutten left behind a wife and two children.

His widow, Constandina, was at the re-naming ceremony.

"...I still can't believe he's not coming home. Bryan is my world. My life. I don't know what it's like to be without him. Never wanted to be anything but his wife, so it's really hard," she told First Coast News.
