Going out like he lived, his epitaph read: вЂњMarvin Popcorn Sutton / Ex-Moonshiner / Octo/ MaPopcorn Said f***k you. On March, 2009, Popcorn ended his life, rather than go to a federal prison. For a mountain man, death was a better alternative. The feds finally got Popcorn and he was going to have to spend time in prison. In Sky SuttonвЂ™s book,В Daddy Moonshine, she says, вЂњPopcorn had a hand-written will and was very specific about what to do when he died - вЂњHaul me on the Back of A Pick up Truck to the Grave yard and get Drunker than Hell while they bury my AssвЂ¦I do not want No viewing or Preaching or Singing or nothing when they Bury me.вЂќ

There is even a movie about his likker-making called The Last One. The New York Times called it a вЂњrambling, obscene and often hilarious account of his life in the trade.вЂќ

The book was called Me and My Likker and in it, he gave recipes for how to make his brews. Popcorn wrote a book that he sold for a while, but I think the revenuers made him stop selling it. The bottle was dark brown and had POPCORN Apricot Brandy written on it. He was appreciative and sent me a bottle of Apricot Brandy and these photos. When I heard my friend was going to visit Popcorn, I sent my jars along with her to give to Popcorn. In Me and My Likker, renowned moonshine-maker (and manufacturer of whiskey stills) Popcorn Sutton of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, tells. I had collected boxes of DukeвЂ™s Mayonnaise jars. I cannot, in good conscience, throw away a mayonnaise jar. My mother and father taught me not to waste and to recycle everything. I never asked why they went all the way to Maggie Valley to see him, but I can guess! I was asked to go and visit вЂ“ now I wish I had done it, along with other things I should have done. I never met Popcorn but I know folks who knew him. I am selfish with it and only let folks have a teaspoon to taste. I have a bottle he gave me вЂ“ apricot brandy and it really is good. Popcorn was a legend вЂ“ the ultimate Bootlegger and maker of Moonshine likker. I donвЂ™t know who won that fight, but thereafter he was no longer Marvin, he was Popcorn. The story is that Marvin was in a bar and became agitated with a popcorn vending machine. He was born Marvin Sutton folks knew him as Popcorn. READER BEWARE: Popcorn had a smart mouth and made some lewd signs depicted in the photos that he sent to me. Popcorn Sutton was a short, squirrelly dude with a trashy mouth, and I canвЂ™t help but be fascinated by his persona.
