He is preceded in rest by his mother, Faye, and a brother, Robyn Follis. For many years, Butch worked security for MEMC-Monsanto to support his family. He took pride in his job and worked very hard to make sure everyone in the plant was safe. He had a huge heart and personality, and could make anyone laugh with his fun sense of humor. Butch was a loving honorable son, husband, brother, and friend. He will be missed by all who were blessed to know and love him. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, October 6, 2025, beginning at 12:00 pm from the Cole Family Funeral Home.
