Calvert "Butch" Lynn Reese

He proudly served in the United States Army as a Private E1 for 3 years active and 3 years inactive and was honorably discharged as a Vietnam Veteran.

Butch married Carla Ruth Jones on August 18, 1995. They shared 26 years of marriage before Carla passed away last year, right before their 27th wedding anniversary. They are now reunited!

In his spare time, Butch enjoyed spoiling his dog Lulu and gave her all the treats she wanted. He loved his snacks as much as she did. He loved to karaoke at the local VFW post, and really, anywhere that would hand him the microphone. He sure loved to sing! Butch loved NASCAR, especially Dale Earnhardt JR, the Dallas Cowboys, and everything Harley Davidson. He loved to tell jokes, mostly inappropriate ones and usually it was at the worst time but that was him. He loved showing off his recent Army tattoo. He was so proud to be a Veteran. He loved his family and friends - you always knew where you stood with him.

Butch will always be remembered as a loving brother, uncle, prankster, joke-teller, that laughed the hardest at his own jokes. But, he was always there to help his family, friends, and neighbors.

He is preceded in death by his father, Ray Brandon; mother, Mildred Jennings Brandon; wife, Carla Reese; and numerous family, friends, and multiple fur babies.

Butch is survived by his sister, Melody Breneman and husband Leon; niece, Leah Fleming and husband Jared and their children, Landon and Emma; brother-in-law, Kevin Jones and wife Anna and their children, Aubrey, Matison, Savannah, and Elijah; and many other family and friends.

Butch was a helpful hand and friend to all who knew him. He is missed dearly.
