Dave Butz

Having been a Washington Redskin for many years starting in '74 at age 7 when I moved to the metro D.C. area, Dave Butz was one of my favorite players to watch. I just came to this website to find of his passing. My condolences to his family and friends.

I met Dave when he came to St Louis from Purdue. We became great friends and he will be missed.

I met Dave when he came to South Dakota to a pheasant hunting show. He became a good friend and we stayed in touch over the years. He was a gentle giant and a great guy. He will truly be missed. RIP my friend.

Love big Dave!

The reason I was a redskins fan

This week the Fine family lost a special person and
football player..
Dave Butz was my dads favorite player/ friend when they worked and played together. They would take turns playing jokes on each other. Dave would shake the tower my Dad would shoot practice from and yo could hear Dad yelling at him constantly.
After the Redskins won the Super Bowl in 1988 Dave gave the Super Bowl trophy to Nate to hold on the plane flight back to DC.
The gentle giant and the 5’6”...

RIP our dear friend, Dave! Thanks for the games, dinners, good times, and the honour of sitting with you on the field during your induction in the Ring of Fame at Fedex. May God bless you as you rest in his arms.
