William Butts, Jr
May 26, 1944 — August 24, 2011
Mr. William Harrison Butts, Jr., affectionately known by many as "Bill", age 67, of Gloverville Lane in Round O, entered into his rest Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at the Veteran's Victory House in Walterboro.
A celebration of his life will be conducted 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, August 28, 2011, during a Gathering of Remembrance which will be held as a Tribute to his memory at The Brice W. Herndon and Sons Funeral Chapel, Walterboro. Following the funeral ceremony the will receive friends until 6 o'clock that evening in the Harbiston Stateroom of the funeral home.
Mr. Butts was born in Conway, South Carolina and was a son of the late William Harrison Butts. Sr., and the late Enawood James Butts. He served his country faithfully in the United States Army during the Vietnam Era achieving the rank of Lieutenant before sustaining injury while serving our country bringing an end to his enlisted time of service. With this sacrifice he suffered while in United States Army, he saw the recognition of many distinguished honors and prestigious metals the most revered being that of a Purple Heart. He had many passions in life as concerns to his vocation. He enjoyed construction work, steel work, and long distance hauling with big-rig trucks, thus the reasoning behind the company he and his wife owned and operated. He was of the Southern Baptist faith, having been a member and before failing health recalled him from his dedication, was a faithful member of Cottageville Baptist Church.
He was an avid fan of competition sports, which were pool, and NASCAR Motor Sports Racing - always pulling for the Dale Earnhardt Team with every race and victory they claimed. During his life he had two other pastimes which he would incorporate the two together, never having one without the other - camping and fishing. Mostly enjoying fresh water fishing, he would also go at any opportunity to fish ponds, off shore and any type that presented an opportunity.
Surviving are his wife of thirty years, Mrs. Jackie Cleveland Butts; three sons, E. J. Cady and his wife Sandra of Charleston, David Cady of Dallas, Texas, and Tim Cady and his wife Jamie of Tampa, Florida. Just a few short weeks past, this family gathered as they do now to bury one of his sons, the second born, Dennis Cady who is survived by his wife, Donna of Union. There are five grandchildren, Dennis Millsap, Daniel Cady, Joseph Cady, Taylor Cady, and Bryce Cady that survive along with one great grandchild.
