Prayers lifted for the family. RIP Butch.
My condolences to all the family. May God be with you in this difficult time.
I met Butch many many years ago in the Gonzales/Sorrento area of Louisiana – He was somewhat of a teaser for sure – he loved picking on a lot of us who hung out at Bayou Bar – but I know he loved the music there, sitting alongside Crash, his old buddy who has also passed on. Most times when I saw his blue GMC truck sitting in the parking lot – I would swing by and have a few beers with them. I think I could say we were really great friends. Aggravating at times, but we all loved him here. I would make cookies and cakes and bring them to Butch and Crash at Crash’s house in Sorrento. It is with great sorrow to see that he passed away. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Butch!! Now go and meet up with Crash, James, and everyone else and have a huge jam session up there!!!!
Butch also played a mean game of pool as well!
Hi My Name is Tonya. I am from La. I am one of Butches Best friends here. He was very dear to me 🙂 I would visit him. He taught me how to play guitar. I’d say I learned a few things 🙂 We had deep conversation. About life. He was a very good person to me. He was there for me. When I thought someone was trying to snoop around my house. I was scared he came and sat with me and my kids with his gun. Until my husband came home. My husband enjoyed being around Butch as well. We were all friends. I spoke to Butch about Jesus. He even said the sinners prayer with me. He except ed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. On the phone one night as we were talking about the Lord. I am at peace to say that I know my friend is in Heaven. He believed in his heart and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord. I’ll see you heaven Butch when I cross over. I’ll be expecting u to be there waiting for me too… 🙂 I Agape Love u Butch my friend!
