Travis Butler Obituary
Travis Butler
April 13, 1986 ~ November 1, 2009
Tragically you were taken from us one year ago tomorrow under suspicious circumstances.
Travis you were my best friend, my hunting and fishing buddy and everything a father could hope for in a son. My beloved son, you had matured into the most amazing young man. I could not be any more proud of who you had become. I miss you so much Travis and nothing could ever replace you.
Love, Dad
Travis my heart aches for you every minute of every day. I so wish I could just hold and kiss you one more time. I miss your smile and your laugh. I miss everything about you. I miss our family time together. I even miss the sound of your street bike. You were always so strong. Please send your strength down to us.
I will miss you forever and ever. I love you.
Love, Mom
Travis you are the greatest role model I could have ever asked for, the strongest person I have ever known and the most loving young man to everyone. I miss the times when you would watch me ride dirt bikes, all the times you wrestled around with me growing up, to all the amazing times with our family.
Travis, as my hero, best friend, and big brother, you taught me how to live my life to the fullest.
I miss you and love you more and more every day.
Love, your little brother Skyler
Thank you to all of our family and friends for your love and support this last year.
Sincerely, the Butler Family

Travis will always be someone who has inspired others to be positive and helpful, among countless other things. During the time my father, our mutual friends and I have known him, he made us all smile with his uplifting spirit. Jim and Diane have raised a fine young man and I know are as proud of him as me to have him as my friend.

Jim, Diane, and Skyler, I can't imagine the feeling of losing a child. My daughter Michele has been friends with Skylar for many years. We were all so very sad to hear about Travis. Diane, I spoke with you at safeway not too long ago, I felt so heartbroken for you, but at the same time admired your courage to be able to speak about your son. Our prayers will be with you each and every day.
Much Love, The LaMark family

To The Butler Family,
I know you have had a hard year since the passing of Travis and I feel saddened inside because I couldn't be at the funeral to support you. Betty and I send our condolences to the family but we also send you words of encouragment that Jesus also knows how you have been hurting and that you have lost someone so dear to all of you and that He loves you very much. I pray that Jesus will wrap His arms around you and comfort all of you and He will bring you through this.
Diane I always enjoyed working with you at Safeway and I always look for you to check out my groceries even to this day. May God bless you and your family with all the grace to continue on.
