Ronald Earl Butts

December 20, 1937 - June 13, 2015

"Ronnie" Butts was a lifetime resident of Victorville, California. The sudden passing of Ron, beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-grandfather, Great-great Grandfather, Uncle and Friend will leave a void in our hearts forever. We take comfort in the love and support that we have received from all who knew him. Ron is survived by his wife and "high school sweetheart of more than sixty years," Deanna "Dee" Butts. They would have celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary in July 2015. He is also survived by his son Brian and wife Sally, his daughters, Ardie, Rhonda and Destany, granddaughters, Kimberly and Kerry, great-granddaughters, Chelsea, Brittany, Keyara and Torianna and great-great-grandson, Aiden. Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Leland and Gladys Butts and brother, Donald Butts. They are together now in the Lord's hands. Ron graduated from University of Redlands in 1959. Shortly after, Principal Keith Gunn hired Ron to join his staff at Victor Valley High School starting that fall semester. Throughout his thirty-eight years at Victor Valley "Hail to the Green and White," Ron was a dedicated teacher, mentor, 'Jack Rabbit' football coach, golf coach, and Athletic Director. In lieu of flowers, Ronnie and Dee would prefer you purchase a bouquet for your home or make a contribution to the charity of your choice in memory of Ronald Butts. Plans for a Celebration of Life are pending for this fall.
