Randy Scott Butters
November 9,1952 – August 5, 2014
Father, son, brother, and best friend Randy Scott Butters returned home to be with his wife Jeffri on August 5th after a tragic airplane accident. Randy was an adventurous person, he loved to golf, ski, hunt, camp, take family vacations, but most of all he loved spending time with his favorite people in the world his two wonderful daughters Alexis and Lindsey. Randy was an inspiration to many and a father to most of us who knew him. From his warm hugs to his sought after advice he was the life of the party and a guy you always wanted to be around. He opened his doors to many people and was considered a dad to all of his daughters friends. He loved his mom Shirley and spent many Thursdays and Sundays at moms house sharing stories, eating dinner, and doing the occasional choir for his dear mother. Randy had a passion for life and adventure unlike most people. He was a doer, if he said something you knew he meant it and would also follow through to the very end. He may have had to think about it a few times but by the end of it all you could trust any advice he would give. He was professional business man, entrepreneur, and risk taker most of his life. At the end of it all he had a passion for life and loved his girls very much, they were always his number one priority.
Survived by his daughters Alexis (Johnny) Riche, Lindsey (Zach) White, and Heather Ravarino; grandkids Chaela, Chloe, and Cambria; mother Shirley Butters Olsen; and his many nieces and nephews. Randy is preceded in death by his father J. Kirk Butters, brother Blaine Butters, and sister Janet Ann Benson.

Randy I love you and miss you, I still can't believe this is real. If it is, then I have to say thanks for letting me a part of your life by giving me permission to be with your most prized possession, your daughter Alexis. I love her more every single day and it's because of your acceptance that I am able to do so. You were such an inspiration and mentor to myself and many others, I was honored to call myself your son. I love you and miss you and will do my best to protect your legacy and your daughters. They are my life as they were yours. Please watch over us and guide us to make all the right decisions, we are still going to turn to you for answers, they may not come in the form of words but I know you hear us and will do your best to answer our prayers. I love you, I miss you Randy Butters....until we meet again dad.

Randy was all ways a fair and honest man that I had the highest respect for.. He would call me to make sure I was invited on the Saturday snow machine trips, and I prize the shotgun that he sold me.....

I recently had the pleasure of running into Randy again after 20 years. My husband and I spent a wonderful evening dining with Randy and Judy while they were visiting his uncle & aunt, our very dear friends Don & Paula Redman. It was as though not a day had passed - let alone 20 years. I didn't know him well, but well enough to say that he was an exceptional man that will be sorely missed. Our deepest regrets to the family. Rest in peace Mr. Butters.

Dear Lindsey, Alexis and family members, I am so sorry for your sudden and tragic loss. Your father was so good to you. He helped you with real estate and other issues. He let you live with him during your home building process. He was a confidante and good listener. Your loss is huge and will take a lot of time to ease. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May the love you receive at this time from family and friends help ease your pain, Reba Wilcox

Shirley, I want to express my deepest sympathy and offer my condolonces to you and your family. I remember the camping trips, Thursday evenings and weekends at Holliday Gun Club shooting trap with you, Randy and my father. Randy helped me get into the Shet Metal Workers Union Apprenticeship Program 30 years ago which became my lifelong career. As the construction manager for Carrier Corp., I worked with Randy on a weekly basis designing and estimating HVAC projects. I learned a lot from Randy over the years and I can honestly say that I wouldn't hold the position that I do now if it wasn't for him getting me into the HVAC trade. He was always friendly and had a positve attitude no matter what the situiation was. I have the upmost respect and admiration for Randy and I will miss him in many ways. God bless.
