Butch was the patriarch of his immediate family and lived most of his life in Burnet, TX where he owned and operated Hill Country Paving with his two sons. He was a charitable man with a soft heart for animals or anyone in need. He loved to laugh and pick fun. He loved to make people smile.
He was a loving son…who honored his mother and father.
He was a loyal brother…who loved unconditionally.
He was a devoted husband…who loved his wife dearly.
He was a selfless father…who was always there, no matter what.
He was a giving grandfather…who gave his love abundantly.
