Roscoe F. "Butch" McBride

Roscoe F. "Butch" McBride passed away at home on Monday, December 8, 2025. He was born June 18, 1945, in Levels, WV, son of the late Roscoe L. and Josephine I. (Judy) McBride. Butch married the love of his life, Janet Kaye (Stickley) McBride on July 12, 1965. In addition to his beloved wife Janet, Butch is also survived by his daughter, Shannon McBride Turner; granddaughter, Alyssa R. Turner; sisters Shirley (Forest) Alt and Robin (Robert) Marande and his brother Steve (Janice) McBride.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by a sister Patsy (Carl) Dorsey, a brother Paul McBride and the beloved family pet dog, Sparky.

Butch proudly served in the US Army beginning in 1968 serving in Germany and serving two tours of duty in the Vietnam War, achieving the rank of E-5. After his military service, Butch worked as a production worker at Avtex Fibers and Abex Corporation before retiring from Toray Plastics.
Above all else, Butch loved his family more than anything. He was so happy to celebrate 60 years of marriage to Kaye this year and he always looked forward to the annual family beach vacation to the Outer Banks, NC. He enjoyed traveling with Kaye especially their two memorable trips to Alaska and Hawaii. Butch had a talent and passion for woodworking and across his life, he built all types of furniture, cabinets, and a grand playhouse for his granddaughter. He was truly a jack-of-all-trades and there was not much he could not do. Butch had a love for hand woodworking tools, specifically antique hand planes of which he collected approximately 800. He also loved Ford Mustangs and drove a few over the years. However, he had a special affinity for his black 1965 Mustang and 1990 Mustang GT. Butch also loved music, especially the oldies, classic rock, and classic country. He enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles and had a wonderful sense of humor. He had the best laugh, which his family will miss dearly. Up until nearly the end, he was making jokes with his hospice nurses and making them laugh.

Butch valiantly battled multiple myeloma for nearly ten years, directly caused by his exposure to Agent Orange during his service in Vietnam. The family would like to thank his doctors and nurses who treated him over the last decade at the VA Hospital in Martinsburg, WV, and Blue Ridge Hospice for all the care, kindness, and compassion that they provided to Butch and his family.

Services and interment will be private.
