Melvin (Butch) was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he earned several medals. He served with distinction in the Marine Corps. The discipline and patriotism that he learned in the Marines never left him.

Melvin was a hardworking man all of his life but he made time for Family and friends, it was important to him. He loved being together, rather it was a spur of the moment call “Hey come over, we are heading over.” He enjoyed spending time with his family during holidays, fishing, and hunting trips, along with working on cars with his sons or just sitting around drinking coffee and telling stories.

Services will be Friday March 24, 2023, at 11:00am at Olinger- Highland Cemetery located at 10201 Grant St, Thornton CO 80229.
