Donny was a loving husband, dad, paw paw, brother, friend and daddy to his “Nina girl”. He thought family meant everything. If you knew him, you loved him, and his kind soul. Afterward, you were family. He loved his Lord and traveled many years singing and praising him with The Butler Family, Union Heirs, Latter Reign Quartet, Interstate Quartet, and this list goes on. He always said “I don’t regret a mile I traveled for my Lord” and “when I’m done, I’ll be singing in Glory”. Donny was a lifelong resident of Piedmont and a graduate of Piedmont High School Class of 1970. He worked in a professional trade as a Master Tool and Dye Maker for many years before his retirement. He owned and operated Butler’s Guide Service for 52 years, where he became well known on many of the surrounding lakes as one of the most experienced guides. Recently his passion had been rekindled for his Smoked BBQ. He and his wife (Angie Butler) custom built a smoke BBQ trailer, “Skillet’s BBQ”, which made his dream come true and him extremely happy. Last but not least he was a true to the core Alabama Roll Tide fan. He lived for his Alabama Football and to yell “Roll Tide”!!!
