Jimmy, born James Butler on January 18, 1960, in Marshall, MO, was the beloved son of Linwood Butler Sr. and Edna Williams Butler. He worked at the Petit Jean Chicken Factory in Buffalo, MO, and had a lifelong passion for horses, enjoying both riding and breaking them.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his children: Marlene Parrish (Marnez) of Huntsville, AL; Jammie Butler of Springfield, MO; Jessica Torimino (Charles) of Springfield, MO; and Terrance Erby of Springfield, MO.

His legacy lives on in his grandchildren: Jeffery, Chad, Jasmine, Austin, Javion, Amber, and Samuel, as well as his step-grandchildren, Cameron and Rose. He will also be fondly remembered by his ex-son-in-law Keven Weeks, special niece Tasha Woods, and numerous other nieces and nephews.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Freddie Butler.
