Joseph E. Butler

Joseph E. Butler, 54, passed away on January 26, 2026. He was born on August 13, 1971, in Creve Coeur, Missouri.

Joseph loved the things that made life fun. He spent many happy hours fishing and boating with his dad - they were true fishing buddies. He also loved riding dirt bikes, a good bonfire, and had quite the collection of CDs and DVDs, always enjoying good music and movies.

More than anything, Joseph loved his family. He never missed a family gathering and truly looked forward to being together. He especially enjoyed going to concerts with his nieces and nephews, making memories they’ll always carry with them. 

Joseph is survived by his father, Walter “Boots” (Kathy) Butler; his mother, Leona (Suddarth) Johnson; his brother, Grover (Mary) Johnson; his sisters, Donna (Robert) Crump, Theresa (Wayne) Bruce, Hellen (Steve) Adrian, and Tammy (Chris) Pottebaum; along with many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Joseph will be deeply missed, but his love for family, music, and time spent together will always be remembered.
