Hey Brother,
It's truly unbelievable it's been 20 years that God has called you home. I remember that early morning, like it was yesterday.
Today April 15th our family and your friends will gather to celebrate your life. I'm sure there will be tons of Brian stories. I only wish the stories didn't end so soon. On April 16th friends and family will celebrate your life with a mass, at St. Martha Church. After mass we'll be at mommy's house for a luncheon.
I Love and miss you! Please continue watching over our family and your friends, but especially mommy. Enjoy that Capt. and Coke with dad, as he enjoys a little guy!
Until we meet again!

Miss you. Tomorrow will be 17 years that the Lord called you home.
There's not a day that goes by, that I don't think about you.
I ask you and dad to welcome into heaven, Michael Hegedus, Dawn's step father. God brought him home to paradise on Denise's birthday.
I ask you to continue watching over our family and friends, but especially mommy. I also ask to help ease the pain for my mother-in-law. With this pandemic going on, she's grieving by herself. She is quarantined in her housing community.
Have a Capt and Coke, for me.

Little Brother,
As I write this, I realize that most people are doing social media(Facebook etc) and don't post here. One I don't Facebook, but mom told me today, how much you are missed, by everyone's thought and comments on social media.
Bri, taken mommy to the cemetery,Sunday, and paying our respects to you, she entered my truck really upset and stated when does get any easier? I explained it will Never get any easier.
I was reading a lot of posts tonight on Legacy, and mom asked the same question 9 years ago.
Brian, you are loved and missed, by so so many you touched. You can't even imagine. Regardless if it was today or 16 years ago. I know the pain will Never go away!
Brother, you are missed very much, I hope you are shining down on us, as our guarding Angel.
As I end this for now continue taken care and watching all of us, but especially mommy.
You are in my thoughts daily and Loved and missed everyday.
As Wacky said, Its not good bye, but talk to you later. Forever Butler "21"

Please continue to look after our family, especially Tracy, she has been through a lot. I hope 2019 is a better year for all of us.
Please ask God to help Markie and her family have the strength to get through this holiday. The first of everything is tough. It breaks my heart that they have to go through this pain and heartache,

Happy 40th birthday. I can't believe my baby is 40. I loved you before I even met you, but the first time I held you in my arms and looked at your tiny face the feeling was overwhelming. It's a Mother's love that I just can't put into words. I was blessed to have that feeling five times.
I know you enjoyed your visit with your friends. These guys are awesome. They are truly good friends. We are all lucky to have them in our lives. They never forget you, and for that I am greatful. They are the best.
I know you will be celebrating with family and friends. Enjoy your day. Have a drink or two for me and give Daddy my love.

I'm writing to tell you Happy Birthday, little brother. I would like for you to have a Capt. and Coke on me to celebrate your birthday. Wish I could toast you. Please tell dad and everyone else that all of us miss them. So kick back and enjoy birthday boy. I"m sure the bar is full, especially with dad, celebrating your birthday.
I Love and miss you and dad very much. I continue to ask that you watch over our friends and family, but especially mommy.

Hi Bri,
Yesterday Saturday May 30, 2015 John and Caitlin got married. Cait looked beautiful and John looked pretty good himself.
Steve Zearfus came from Florida, and Steve Galichinski from California. Jim Pembroke was the D.J.
And the rest of the guys were in the Bridal party.
Our whole family was invited. We had a good time. I can't begin to tell you how great I feel when I see all your friends together.
They sang and danced to your song from Face to Face. It's so comforting to know that after all these years you are not forgotten. They miss you as much as I do.
Well son, that's the up date for now. So please continue to watch over all of us.
Love,
Always and forever,

Today is 12 years since God called you home. I will never forget that morning when the police knocked on our door. I will never get over that night-mare.
I often sit and think about all the things you have missed. Holidays, birthdays, births, christenings, communions, graduations, watching your nieces and nephews grow up and so much more. I am sorry you were cheated of these things.
I know in my heart you are in a better place, but I love and miss you so much. I just wish you were here with me . I think of you all the time.
Take care my son. Tell Dad I love and miss him.
Love always & forever,

Hi Bri,
Sunday August 18, 2013 was the 11th Brian Butler Memorial Golf Outing. The morning didn't't start out so well, it was raining. I was worried. But with a few prayers to you and Daddy it turned out to be a nice day.
We had about 114 Golfers. We lost some people because they had to take their kids back to college. Between Golfers and people for dinner we had about 134.
I hope Daddy liked the shot glasses. We had a toast in memory of him. I know we all missed him, I know Wacky missed her partner on the beer cart.
Life is not the same without you and Dad. Even at the campground it is very difficult not only for me but all our friends at O.V.R. Three generations . They are like family
We are very fortunate to have such great family and friends. I don't know what I would of done without them.
Please keep watching over all of us, and tell Daddy I love and miss him very much. Love you Son.
Love Always and Forever

The pain at times is so
hard to bear.
My heart is broken that
is true.
I will never get over
loosing you.

of his plans.

Hi Bri,
On Sunday Aug.19,2012 was the 10th Brian Butler Memorial Golf Outing. It was a great day. Wacky, Geralynn and Bridget sent out save the date post cards, which all the golfers received. Which I think Bridget designed. They sent out donation forms and did alot of running around. To be honest with you, if it wasn`t for them, I don`t know if there would of been an outing. Our main concern was with Daddy. So many people helped out that day. Daddy had a great time driving the beer cart with Wacky. That has been their job from the begining. I think we had 123 golfers. There was an over cast with a little breeze but NO RAIN. We couldn`t ask for better weather. We had a good time and it was nice seeing everyone. We are very greatful for everyone who attended and helped out that day.
Continue to watch over all of us, especially Daddy. I love and miss you.
Love Mom

Hey Bri~
The 10th Annual Brian Butler Memorial Golf Outing is this Sunday and it looks like we are going to have another great turn out. I am just praying for great weather.
I hope you are happy with the turn out of the golf outing. I was determined to make this a great year! Your dad would have been devestated if this didn't take place so it was the least I could do to help with this!
I miss you more than anything. Thanks for all of the signs over the past few weeks. I have needed them to know that things with the golf outing would turn out great. I know you will be flying around all of us on Sunday.
Continue to watch over "The Big Guy". It breaks my heard to watch him go through this. Your parents have been so strong through all of this and I admire them every single day!
Landon celebrated hif 1st birthday on the day you would have been turning 35. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! I wish you could have met the kids. They know their Uncle Bri though! They always ask about you when they see your picture in Landon's room! You would get a kick out of them..especially Camryn!
Until we meet again~

Brother, I ask you and God everyday to continue to help dad. You and everyone else, including dad, have done so. I continue to pray that you answer our prayers. WE NEED GOOD NEWS,TODAY. Please help him and us today. He's working very hard! I think he deserves to get a break. Please ask God.
So, Happy Birthday, please make your wish to daddy's health, when blow out your candles. Bri, I Love and Miss You very much. Until we meet again, forever "21" forever Butler.
Bri, one last thing, please take care of your buddy Obie. We just found out that he has a enlarge heart. Dawn is taking him to the vet, for further test, tomorrow. It's been a very tough year!
Kick back and enjoy a Capt. and Coke and enjoy your Birthday with all of your family and friends.
Your brother,
Dan

Hey Brother,
We had another great gathering at Paddy Wack's yesterday. But there was one element missing,the anchor of the Butler family,Daddy. Bri, as you know Daddy is very sick. We, our family and friends, really need all the help that we can get. Give Daddy and us all the strength and the fight to over come this hellish nightmare. It may sound alittle selfish, but we're not ready to lose him. Brother, as I'm cryiing to you, I beg you to create some kind of miracle. You are our Saint and Angel in heaven. Please ask God to help him.
Brian, I know you hear me pray and talk to you. We need you to step in and take control of this dreaded disease.
I Love you and Miss you. Until we meet again. Forever Butler
Love Dan

Hey Bri~
I know it has been a while since I posted here but I know you hear me talking to you. I can't believe that it has been 9 years since I got to talk to you face to face and we got to have a beer together! Things just aren't fair. I have written on this a bunch of times and it still brings tears to my eyes when I am writing you. I miss you so much.
I know you watch over all of us and help us take one day at a time. I am happy to know that you are above watching my kids grow up. They get to hear of Uncle Brian through all of our stories. They love watching Alyssa and Gavin play basketball in Uncle Brian's gym. Riley knows that you are around when she sees a butterfly!
We are all meeting this weekend to share stories again of you. It is fitting that we are meeting on the 21st.
If you could continue to watch over ALL of us I would greatly appreciate it.
I miss you more and more everyday.
Until we meet again,
Wacky

Hello Brother,
Well today marks 9 years that the Lord called you home. It seems like it was yesterday. The pain doesn't go away. I can see it in your friends and our families faces.
We will be getting together on April 21, to celebrate the life we had with you. We love hearing the stories that your friends share with us. They don't get old. Being with your friends always conforts us, but especially mommy and daddy.
Brother, I continue to pray that God allows you to be our guardian angel. Because in our eyes, you are. I also pray that you continue to watch over our family and our friends. Again as always I ask to special care for mommy and daddy. Sometimes the hurt and pain is overwhelming for them.
Brian, I want to know that I Love and Miss you very much. I look forward to all of us together again, as one family. So continue to smile down on us. I know your in good hands with nana,grams and the rest of our family taken care of you. Welcome in Uncle Mike into paradise.
Until we meet again,always and forever a Butler.

Hi Bri,
I hope you had a nice Easter. I cooked dinner on Saturday. Dad and I went to Breakfast with Danny and Dawn on Easter Sunday. We had a nice time. As you know Uncle Michael passed away. Please tell him that I miss him and I love him. I know Uncle Michael is with Grandmom and Uncle Ricky. He is finally pain free.
I miss you so much.

Hi Brian,
On Friday March 20, 2011 the St. Martha`s C.Y.O. had a Brian Butler Night in the gym. The 7th & 8th grades played against the Butler team. The kids all played, even Megan and Erin. They had a great time.
They gave me 21 roses, and they gave Denise, Tracy, Kim and Dawn a bouquet of flowers.
The C.Y.O. also had sandwiches, desserts and soda.All of us received T-shirts with 21 on the back. They did an awesome job and we are very greatful. I know you would be very proud.
I love you son and miss you more and more every day.
Love,
Always and Forever,

Brian,
Its`s 8 years today that you passed away. There`s not a day that goes by that I don`t think of you. I miss you so much. What I wouldn`t do to see that awesome smile again.
Today we will meet your friends at Patty Whacks for the 8th Brian Butler Memorial Gathering. Your friends have not forgotten you. You have touched all of our lives in some way. All we have left now are the memories, and for that I am very grateful.
I love you son, be at peace.
Love always and forever,

Brian,
Its Christmas moring and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I know you are with Grams, Nana and Grandpop so give them a kiss for me and tell them Merry Christmas.
We had open house Christmas Eve. Its nice having a house full of people to celebrate with, thats what Christmas is all about, being with family and good friends. After everybody left I started to clean up. you know me can`t go to bed unless the house is cleaned and everything put away. When I got done cleaning, I made myself a cup of tea and sat with just the tree lights on and was remembering when you and your brothers and sisters were little and that nobody could come down stairs, until Daddy put the tree lights on and everybody had to get their pictures taken on the stairs, even Grams. They were good times. great memories.
We are going over Denise and Jerry`s for breakfast and to Danny and Dawn`s for dinner. Busy day.
Merry Christmas Son, I love you with all my heart.
Love always and forver.

Hi Bri,
Let me bring you up to date on whats being going on these past couple of months. On August 29th was the 8th Brian Butler Memorial Golf Outing, It was a great success. Thanks to our sponsors, family and friends.
Halloween just past, we had over 130 kids. I get a kick out of the little ones, they don`t have a clue on whats going on. Next year they will know that treat or treat means getting candy.
This time of the year is depressing for me, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming, it just makes me realize how much I miss you. I know it affects our whole family. We are not complete without you. I am thankful for my family and grand-children they help me get through the difficult times.
I love you Brian.
Love always and forever,
Mom

Hey Bri~
I hope you and Grams celebrate your birthday in style up there. I miss you everyday. Not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of you.
An angel joined you this week. Please show Colleen the ropes and help us all get through this tragedy! She will be missed and was a great girl. I am sure you met her with open arms and had a captain and coke waiting for her.
Until we meet again,

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part.... God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
Happy Birthday Bri...Love you and miss you!

HI BRI,
LAST NIGHT ALL OF US WENT TO PATTY WHACK`S FOR THE 7TH BRIAN BUTLER MEMORIAL GATHERING. I CAN`T TELL YOU HOW DAD AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR FRIENDS. IT BREAKS MY HEART KNOWING THE REASON WE ARE THERE, BUT ITS ALSO COMFORTING HEARING YOUR FRIENDS TALK ABOUT YOU AND THAT AFTER 7 YEARS YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. YOU ARE TRULY MISSED. CONTINUE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY.
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,

Bri,
This is so hard for me, I just still haven't come to terms with the fact that you are gone even after 7 years. I think about you constantly and wonder what it would be like if you were still here. I know you are up there watching over all of us down here and it gives me a little peace in knowing that. I just wish you were here to meet Ava (and the new little girl thats on the way). I know she would love you. She LOVES my brother and since you two were so alike I know she would have loved you too. I show her your picture all the time and I will make sure she knows what a wonderful person you were and how much my family loved you. Most of my best memories growing up have you in them. They make me smile everyday. I am certain you were put on this earth to smile and make other people smile.....Mission accomplished!
I love you and miss you more then ever! Keep Smiling!

I can't believe that seven years has past without you. I think about you EVERY SINGLE day. I am so grateful for the family and friends that have blessed us over the past seven years. I am also so grateful that Michelle and her family are still part of our lives. We love them.
You are so missed. I love you very much and wish that things were so different. Keep watching over us and help us through the tough times.
Thanks for the beautiful rainbow today. We all really needed it!
Love you forever,

HI BRIAN,
WEDNESDAY DAD AND I HAD A MASS SAID FOR YOU. COMING OUT OF CHURCH WE SAW LYNNE. I ASKED HER WHERE SHE WAS GOING, AND SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO THE ZOO WITH MICHAEL. AS DAD AND I WALKED TO THE CAR, WE SAW TWO SCHOOL BUSSES. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, NOT TO HOT NOT TO COLD. A GREAT DAY FOR A ZOO TRIP. SEEING THE SCHOOL BUSSES, I STARTED THINKING ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN TO THE ZOO WITH ALL FIVE OF YOU. BRI, I CAN STILL SEE YOU IN YOUR SCHOOL UNIFORM. LOOKING AT THE BUS, I THOUGHT HOW I WISHED I WAS GETTING ON THAT BUS WITH YOU. IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK TIME.
BRI,
ITS SEVEN YEARS TODAY THAT YOU LEFT US. AND THE PAIN IS AS SEVERE TODAY AS IT WAS THEN. I KNOW YOU DON`T WANT US GREIVING OVER YOU,THAT LIFE MUST GO ON, BUT THAT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. THERE IS A VOID IN OUR HEARTS THAT CAN NEVER BE FILLED.
SOMETIMES JUST TO MENTION YOUR NAME BRING TEARS TO MY EYES, BUT IT ALSO BRINGS SMILES. YOU HAVE LEFT US WITH SO MANY MEMORIES AND FOR THAT I AM THANKFUL.
I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MANY LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED AND HOW VERY MUCH YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED.
I LOVE YOU. ALWAYS ON MY MIND FOREVER IN MY HEART.
LOVE,
MOM & DAD

Brother, I can't believe its been 7 years since God called you home. But it feels like yesterday. As I spoke to mom today, she asked when does the pain get any easier. I couldn't answer her. I believe it will never become easy, the night you were taken away. It's a nightmare for so many people. We will carry that night with us for the rest of our lives. We also carry great memories of you.
I ask you to continue looking out for our family and friends, but especially mom and dad. I need to say no more, Because you know pain they have in there hearts.
Brain, I Love and miss you very much I think of you everyday. We our blessed to have you as our Angel in Heaven. You and Chris have a Captain and Coke on us. But remember, Forever "21" And Forever my brother.
