Timothy Butt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Southern Mississippi Funeral Services on Mar. 4, 2023.
Mr. Timothy Jay Butt, age 55, of Biloxi, MS entered into eternal rest on March 1, 2023. Son of the late Mr. William Wiley Butt and Mrs. Elizabeth Lee Butt, Tim was born March 9, 1967 at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS. He attended St. Martin Schools, and as a young adult moved to Wytheville, VA where he worked and raised his young children. Later returning to Biloxi, MS, he worked in the food service industry at the Isle of Capri Casino - then promoted to a position with Morrison Healthcare providing services through Memorial Driftwood Nursing Home.
Tim is preceded in death by his father, William Wiley Butt. He is survived by his mother, Elizabeth "Libby" Lee Butt; his children, Randy "RJ" (Madison) Butt and Danyelle "Toenail" (Evan) Davidson; his siblings, Connie (David) Thompson and Tanya (Earnie) Coffell; granddaughter, Wyleigh Butt; nieces and nephews, Jimmy "JJ" (Melaney) Thompson, Brittany Thompson, LeeAnna Coffell, William "Mav" Coffell and Earnest "Mac" Coffell; and great nephew and niece, Grayson Thompson and Avery Thompson.
Tim was an avid outdoor enthusiast. Hunting, Fishing, and Camping were some of his favorite past times. He also loved to sit at the Popps Ferry Pier and just enjoy his time with his sweet dog, Essex. He was a jokester and loved to make his friends and family laugh in every situation. He was an extremely hard worker and took pride in his job. He loved his family- as was evident through his prized possessions of photos and family keepsakes that decorated his home. Tim never met a stranger, and his smile could light up a room. He was a man of few words, but his legacy could write a book.

Prayers to his family! I will miss you! We had some laughs through the years. A memory of Tim and brings a smile to my face is of Tim singing at the top of his voice from the movie Frozen...Let It Go. Lol! Rest in Peace, my friend!
