My condolences to the Family and friends.
He gave me the nickname Stinger on a Beamer (B.M.W.) motorcycle That story happened after I was stung while We went on a ride to Freeport.
Butch has always told people that I was his longest Best Friends, I am happy to have that Title.
I dedicate this song to you Butch untile we meet again.

Love you little brother, see you on the other side,
Sincere condolences go out to the family. Please find comfort and hope in the guarantee that soon death will be no more (Rev. 21: 3, 4) and the exciting promise that those we have lost will be reunited with us again (Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:29).
I miss you so look much.
I miss you so much!
I love you, Pops. I am so thankful I got to spend the last couple of days of your Earthly existence with you. I will never forget your last words to Samantha and I — “I miss y’all when you’re gone”. We miss you now that you are. 💙
-Love & Light-
Love Always,
Your Daughter
