Leo (Butch) Albert Butler, son of Floyd and Emma Butler, passed away at home July 6, 2022. He was surrounded by friends and family and the love of those who could not be with him.
He is survived by his brother Orville, second spouse Josephine, and daughter Sherry. Born in Canada, he moved to the US in the 1940s. In college he met Evelyn Wineteer in the debate program. Following his USAF service in Japan, he married Evelyn (b.1931 to d.2008), and they welcomed their daughter. He became a US citizen and completed his teaching degree.
His life was full and he appreciated every gift life gave! An exceptional teacher; he was also a talented carpenter, a farmer, golfer, pilot, traveler, and avid backpacker. He was passionate about women’s rights and value, and a faithful loyal friend. He was the “love in daddy‘s hands“ for Sherry and a second father to many. He donated his body to research and requested any donations go to Saint Judes, Doctors Without Borders, or Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
There will be a celebration of life at 98 Memory Lane, Tooele, Utah, Aug. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m.
