Out of all our photos, this was one of your favorite picture.  Along with a great sense of humor and the love for mankind.

Peace be still.  Love, Dee

Farewell Mike 

You left a lot of good memories that I will treasure. 

Love DEE
"rest in peace"


Father and Son

This was a good day with happy memories.



Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

"My soul doth magnify the Lord"



The Family would like to thank all Friends, Co-workers, and Neighbors  who was able to gather around  Michael's Repast ceremony.   He will surely be missed.  He touched  all he made contact with in some way or another.

Peace be with you 

Here's a Birthday card that Mike loved.  A picture is worth a thousand words.
=========


GOD'S GARDEN 

God looked around His garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful; He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, 
So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for parts
of Us went with you the day GOD called you home.

Amen! 



I will miss you Mike.  I remember our paths would sometimes cross each other at certain places :-).  I will miss hearing "stop walking across my grass"  Blessings to the Family.

To my Dearest Mike:

There's so much left unspoken,
Too soon for our conversation to end.
I thought we'd have so many more years,
And so much more time to spend.
I wasn't finished with my "I love yous,"
I had a million more to go.
You were my life, my lover, my friend,
And I wanted you to know.
I'm not ready to let you go
Off into that brilliant light.
I'd rather have kept you here with me,
And hung on with all my might.
But it's too late, death has stolen you away
And there's nothing left I can do.
So I'll have to be patient until the day comes
When I can talk again with you.   

I know you tried to hang on for me, but you did your best.  
No more pain .........  you were the best.  We'll talk later........
LOVE, Dee, Delores, and of course the Famous Warden [LoL]

Remembering -  Back in the day,
Mike was 12 and I was 16
working together selling newspapers for
     The Washington Post
Next thing, Mike and I were working together again at
     The Washington Terminal Company,
               Amtrak
My heart goes out to the family at this time of sorrow,
Brother Rick


My name is Sherrie and I am Micheal's aunt. My memory of Micheal was one of a sweet, caring, funny, and generous guy.  One that enjoyed life, nice clothes and of course Cadillac cars.  His smile would light up a room, charming, a great friend. Micheal loved to joke around and, I found  out that he was a good listener as well.  May he rest in peace.

Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.



I lost my oldest brother Michael A Butler who I loved so much, a brother who taught me how to drive the only brother who said I was the only one who didn’t forget his birthday, Christmas and Father’s Day mike I love and miss you so much until we meet again. 



Love 
Paulette 

Micheal was my nephew, He was kind, funny, always smiling, Love  to joke, Full of  Life. Love to come to my house to have coffee and talk for hours.  His smile would light up  his face.


Love and miss you, Always in my Prayers

                                               Aunt Dee

Michael wasn't a perfect man but neither am I. However, his protective nature was always present for his siblings who should always remember him fondly.

Michael's mother, the late Dorothy Louise "Dot" and I were 1st cousins. I remember meeting Michael Thanksgiving Day 1990 at Dot's sisters; Marie Delores "Dee's" house. Then again in 1996. 
Michael was polite, handsome, funny and very welcoming to myself and my husband. His presence will be missed within the family circle and I will keep him in prayer.
