Butch had a longtime career with State Farm Insurance as a claims adjuster. He worked with much integrity, & diligence, to insure customer satisfaction. He had such determination, & courage throughout his journey. Exceeding all our expectations and the finest man each of us knew.

McCarrell Jr., brother in Christ Kenneth McCarrell, Shane & Amanda McCarrell, Nephew Damon DiBari, six cousins, John R. Bartee, James F. Bartee, Douglas Page Bartee, Janita K.

Predeceased by Grandparents Obed E. & Lena Baird, parents Oneta (Arty) and Marion Baird, Aunt Dora Belle Baird, James M. Brown and Flo Jean Brown.

Butch was blessed with a (phrase it his way) sense of humor; he was a Hotrod and Classic Car enthusiast. A lifelong member of The San Antonio Gear Grinders, Family & friends always enjoyed his company as his kind-hearted nature always made people around him smile and laugh.

Celebration of Life will be held at Cross Mountain Church at 24891 Boerne Stage Rd., at 2:00 pm, Friday, March 3, 2017, and then continue at Soda Pop’s in Boerne, Texas.
