Ronald Jay Butler, Sr. was born June 3, 1941 in Denver Colorado to Robert Joseph Butler and Iverna Mayzle Schoolcraft. Ron served his country in the United States Army. He worked much of his life for Carter Concrete in Denver and for the past decade for Merritt Equipment Co. in Henderson. He loved to work on his computer playing games and learning how to do new things. He had a heart of gold and enjoyed doing things for others; he would do whatever he could to help those he loved and cared about. He will be dearly missed. Ronald is survived by Son Ronald Jay Butler, Jr. (Jessica), daughter Brenda Jo Butler, grandchildren Samantha Lee, Shawn Michael, Caitlyn Marie, Haley Lynn, and Marc Anthony, sisters Vicky Black, Florence Wisek, Rita Krainz, and Rose Butler, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
