Mar 1, 1957 – Jul 29, 2025
Jonathan "Jonny" Wayne Butler, 68, of Iowa Park passed away on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. A great husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend left this world too soon.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 8, 2025 at Owens and Brumley Funeral Home in Wichita Falls.
Jonny was born on March 1, 1957 to the late J.W. and Frances (Horn) Butler in Wichita Falls. He was a proud Hirschi graduate of 1975. He married his childhood friend, Bambi Jourdan on March 5, 1977 in Wichita Falls. She was truly the love of his life.
Jonny worked as a plumber in the surrounding area, before retiring. He was an all-sports fanatic and was always cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. Jonny liked to enjoy a cold red draw, a good western and was one of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. But his love for his family was his greatest treasure. Especially being "Papa" to all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jonny will be missed by many family and friends.
Along with his parents, Jonny was preceded in death by his son, Joseph Butler; and a brother-in-law, Robert "Bob" Crockett.
He is survived by his wife, his daughter Brandi Rollins; grandchildren, Taylor, Lexi, Kara, Chloe and Ryker; five great-grandchildren; three sisters, Deborah Crockett, Janice Payton and husband, Larry and Julie Sanders; four nephews, David Payton, Danny Payton and wife, Sylvia, Josh Sanders and wife, Marissa and Matthew Sanders and wife, April; three nieces, Sarah Crockett and Bill, Carla Frazee and husband, Del and Anna McCain and husband, JD; and numerous other loved family members and friends.

I first met Butler (I've always called him that) when I was 19 yrs old and my husband, Mike, worked for him at Wichita Valley Water. Always like him, but didn't really get to know him until 15ish years ago.
I thought he should have been an attorney. He would argue until I would give up from exhaustion. :)
The last few years he would always end our conversation with "love you." I knew he meant it. Butler not the type to say that unless he meant it. He knew how much I loved him, Bambi...
