Ernest Butler Obituary
He was born October 11, 1958, to Thornt and Ruth (Woodrum) Butler in Ashland, Kentucky. Butch was a graduate of Delta High School, he proudly served in the U.S. Army, and he lived life to the fullest. His greatest joy was spending time with his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed watching all sports, and caring for his bird, Harley.
Butch will be sadly missed by his mother, Ruth Butler of Defiance; and his children, Heather (Dustin) Spencer of Napoleon, Amber (Bart) Wallen of Delta, Ohio, Steven Lomerson of Port Richey, Fla., Marcus (Casey) Butler of Defiance, and Nadine (Nathan) Koder of Delta, Ohio. He also leaves behind 26 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; his brothers, Michael Butler and James Butler, both of Defiance; and sisters, Donna Beckett of Florida and Regina Smith of Napoleon.
He was preceded in death by his father, Thornt Butler; his grandparents, Elmo and Celia Butler; and his grandmother, Flossie.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, services for Butch will be held at a later date. Schaffer Funeral Home assisted the family with arrangements.
Memorials are suggested to the family. Online condolences can be given at www.Schafferfh.com.
