Alfred Butler Obituary

Alfred Grant Butler, III of East Norriton, passed away peacefully on Monday June 9, 2025 at his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was 68 years old. Born November 23, 1956 in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late Alfred Grant Butler, Jr. and the late Mary Louise (née LeFevre) Gavin, and the beloved soul mate and husband of Deb (née La Prade) Butler, with whom he spent 28 years of marriage. Grant was immensely proud of his children & grandchildren, and he took great pride and joy in sharing their milestones & accolades with others. He had a natural gift for humor & conversation, often turning strangers into friends, even in the briefest of encounters. Grant was the life of the party & his magnetic persona always filled whatever room he was in. Whether he was golfing with his sons or Jeffersonville buddies, fishing for bass up at Newton Lake, or working the phones trying to close his next deal, Grant loved to stay busy. When his children were growing up, most of his time was spent cheering for a "Butler" on the football field, golf course, basketball/volleyball gym or baseball field. Grant had a very successful sales career for over forty years in the steel & swimming pool renovation industries. In addition to his wife, Deb, Grant is survived by his five children; Gavin Butler (Tani), Kim Vouriotis (Tim), Alexander Butler (Máire Kathleen), Zachariah Butler, and Judith Butler, five grandchildren; Molly, Gage, Chase, Olivia, and Evelyn, as well as his siblings; Susan Milliron (the late Mike), Chris Butler, Kimberly Connell and stepmom, Joanne Butler. Grant was preceded in death by his sister Judie Butler Murphy. Relatives and friends are invited to share in Grant's Celebration of Life on Tuesday June 17, from 9 AM to 10:50 AM at Visitation BVM Church, 196 N. Trooper Rd. Eagleville, PA. His Funeral Mass will begin at 11 AM at the church. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Grant Butler can be made to ALS United Mid-Atlantic
