Publish in a newspaper
His passions included hiking and being outdoors, enjoying our beautiful planet, photography, traveling, reading, and boating, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family. Milt's career spanned six decades in artistic photography and educational interpreting. He was notably the COO and Chief Photographer for the S. S. Central America Project and later served fifteen years as Guest Relations Manager at the Biltmore Estate.
In addition to his parents, Milt was preceded in death by his sisters Lynne Butterworth Thompson (John) and Susan Butterworth Jackson. Milt is survived by his wife, Sandra Thompson Butterworth; sons, Milton Thomas Butterworth, III (Jeannette) and Luke Thomas Butterworth (Hope); grandchildren, Elliot, Celia, Max, and Sam; brothers-in-law, John Thompson, Jr. (Jan), Tommy Thompson; sisters-in-law, Patty Thompson and Jan Thompson (John); nieces and nephews Andrea Jones (Cara), Jennifer Thompson (Todd), Meredith Peine (Adam), John Thompson III (Shannon), Noah Jackson (Mary) Adam Jackson, Henry Thompson (Emily), Charlie Thompson, and Mia Thompson.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 17, 2024, in the Warren Wilson College Presbyterian Church, with the Reverend Margaret LaMotte Torrence officiating. A reception will follow at the Church Fellowship Hall, where the family will receive friends from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. and at other times at Milt and Sandee's residence.
Memorial contributions may be made to the University of Evansville Theatre (https://www.evansville.edu/majors/theatre/) and the Government Accountability Project (https://whistleblower.org/).

Sandee, Bud, Luke...I am so sorry. Did not know until Bob Evans notified me an hour ago. The Milt Butterworth family are among my favorite people on the planet -- all of you! I regret we have lost touch. Eileen and I are thinking about you and sending our best thoughts and condolences.

To Sandee, Bud, and Luke: I met Milt 38 years ago, in the summer of 1986, as we mutually embarked into the SSCA Project. During those heady years of triumph and crisis, the highs and lows, Milt was a constant, steadying influence through some pretty crazy times. Milt was quite simply one of the finest human beings it has ever been my privilege to call a colleague and friend. I will always remember his calm demeanor, his open ear, his compassion, his impressive intelligence, his wisdom, and his capacity for deep human understanding. I am better for having known him, and I believe that is true for everyone who was touched by his presence. A truly great man!
