Ken was not only a great partner of mine, he was a dear friend. He taught me many aspects of good police work. I will always remember Ken as a truly dedicated officer, husband and father. I will surely miss his trips to South Carolina where we shared many good times. Rest in peace Ken.

There are no words that can express the sorrows that come with the loss of a loved one. Know this, Ken was a great man that was loved and respected by all. He will be missed but not forgotten as he was a very influential part of my life when I first joined the force and I have a lot of fond memories of him. In fact, a lot of what I do today is because of remembrances of him. May his Soul rest in peace in the presence of God.

I knew Ken for the past 35 years and considered him a good friend.  As Police Officers go, Ken was among the best.  He was courageous, honest, trustworthy, capable, and knowledgeable.  I always felt safe when I knew he was there to have my back and I never worried when he was assigned to handle the complicated calls. His passing comes way too soon but he leaves a wonderful legacy in his family, friends and the many young officers he took the time to mentor, not to mention all the people he helped over the years.  Ken was a wonderful role model and made a positive difference in many lives.  God Bless You old friend.  You will be missed!

My dear brother, no farewell words were spoken, no time to say good bye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. You will be missed oh so much & our hearts mourn but we all know you are in a better place now. Love you in my heart always!

To  the Butler family, Ken was an asset to me, and a big help in working extremely difficult cases in the investigations division of the San Gabriel Police Dept. together we were able to bring several case to fruition. He had a sharp mind, and wrote reports that got the district attorney to file cases, for convictions. My sincere condolences.   Jim  Goodman ( ret. S.G.P.D.  Lt. )

To the Butler Family,

I am sorry for your loss.  My sincere condolences.

I think everyone has two sides in their life - a work side and a family side.  I knew Ken from work.  Ken was a hard worker, mentor and role model.  Ken knew the importance of his chosen profession and took the responsibility seriously.  I did not know Ken's family side and I really enjoyed seeing all the family photos.  It's nice to get a glimpse into that life and see the love he obviously shared with family.

My best to you all - Ken will be missed.
