.Today I looked into the sky and it was beautiful. I then realized it’s because you are there. You fly with the angels now but part of you will always be with us. Love and miss you Butch. RIP

My deepest sympathy to Butch’s family and friends. May you find comfort in the promise at Revelation 21:4 where it says “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I am sorry for your loss.

I grew up with Butch and the rest of the Brainard family. We had many fun times together camping, fishing and playing all over Eastons and Bunker Hill in our youth. All the clam digging at 1000 steps and Chuckanut bay with those huge wonderful bon fires. Camping on the Cascade river and Lost Lake.. Playing Army, Pinnacle, Risk and Statego. Oh yeah, poker for chips. You were always welcomed in his home. Butch was the oldest of our group of kids and probably the toughest if it ever came down to it. He was a “goodaboy” and will be missed but well and lovingly rememberd. Steve Reynolds
