Lewis "Gene" Eugene Butler, 71, passed away on April 6, 2021 in Jones, Oklahoma. Gene was born on November 9, 1949 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to parents Lewis Edward Butler and Velta Mae (Taylor) Butler.
He is survived by his sisters, Kathie Leyba and Velta Van Horn; daughter, Jeannie Evans; sons, Stephen Butler, Gregory Butler, Kevin Butler and Nathan Butler; grandchildren, Trent Evans, Kailyn Savage, Calista Mitchell, Makenzie Butler and Olivia Butler; nieces, Stacie Miller and Alexis Van Horn; nephews, Jonathan Southerland and Justin Southerland; great-grandchildren, Aubree Evans, Zander Evans, Bradley Evans and Ariyah Butler.
Predeceased by his mother, Velta Mae McKinney; father, Lewis Edward Butler; step-father, Larry McKinney; brothers, Johnny Butler and Duke Butler; and granddaughter, Kelsi Evans.
When asked about people taking advantage of him he bluntly stated he was put on this earth to help people. He was a good man with a huge heart, especially for dogs. Anyone that knew him knew he would much rather hang out with his dogs than people. Although he may have been a little grumpy in the end we love and miss him all day, all night, forever and ever.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, April 17, 2021 at the Bill Eisenhour NE Funeral Home Chapel, Oklahoma City, OK.
