Justin Butler Obituary
3/10/1994 - 9/20/2010
September 20, 2010 we lost our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, Justin Paul Butler, born March 10, 1994. Words cannot describe the joy, and now the sorrow, that we have experienced in Justin's short life. Justin's friendship meant so much to so many people, and he was passionate in everything he did. Although his current passions were football and his football family, Justin loved the Lord and shared this love as he prayed for teammates on and off the field, and loved on his friends and those in need. We are so happy that Justin re-dedicated his life to the Lord one year ago at Hume Lake, with his brother Bryan at his side. While we will never know exactly how or understand why his short life ended, we take comfort in the knowledge that he was saved and we will see him again in heaven.
Justin is survived by his parents Eric and Kendall, brother Bryan, grandparents Bob and Del, aunties and uncles Delyse, Vance, Bill, Marisa, Carrie, Ryan, Deon and Norma, cousins Alec, Kendra, Gillian, Troy, Emily, and Boden and so many precious, precious friends.
Watch over all of us from Heaven our dear son and say "hi" to Grandma Margaret (08-05-07)! A celebration of Justin's life and pre-game meal are scheduled for Friday October 1 at 5:30 p.m. at the Bear River High School football field. We invite all family and friends to attend as we honor his life. Brown right fire 28 bootleg pass on two! In lieu of flowers or gifts please make any contributions to the Justin Paul Butler Memorial Fund at any U.S. Bank location.

Butler Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you on the loss of your wonderful young son. Our family has had numerous discussions and tears over your loss. Derek took out all the old CD's of him and Justin playing b-ball when they were on the same team, and we watched those for a few days. What great memories. Love the Ross Family

Kendall and Eric, our prayers go out to you and your family. Cathy and I have talked about Justin for the past 10 days. We have prayed and cried on several occasions. We cannot believe that he is gone. We still remember the soccer games when Matt and J were just kids. His death effected us greatly!
