Bernard ‘Skip’ Butts
ODESSA — “Skip, ” a loving husband and father, loyal friend and devout Christian man, crossed over to be with his Lord on Friday, September 14, 2001, at Hospice House in Odessa, Texas.
His love for his family and his Lord were only matched by his love of country. He served his country courageously, and was a true patriot.
Skip was born in Englewood, Kansas, April 18, 1925. He went through school in Englewood as any normal child, but by the age of 19 was walking the beaches of Normandy during World War II. What he saw there would change him forever and haunt him until his dying days. He served his country from August 23, 1943, until May 31, 1946.
Eventually, Skip went to work in the oilfields of Kansas, which brought him to West Texas. There he made his home and reared his family. He lived many years in Kermit and then moved to Odessa.
Skip was very active in his family’s life, serving as a Scout Master for the Boy Scouts of America. Skip was an active member of the Christian Church in Kermit while he lived there, but most recently was a loyal soldier in “HIS” church, the Christian Church of Odessa. It would be his desire that in lieu of flowers, we would honor his memory by making donations to the Christian Church of Odessa, Building Fund, and to the Hospice House, which gracefully enabled him to make that transition into eternal rest.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, September 17, 2001, at Sunset Memorial Chapel with the Rev. Clark Racca and friend Gerald Fugit officiating. Burial will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens with a full military graveside ceremony. Arrangements by Sunset Memorial Funeral Home.
Survivors include: his wife, Hazel “Flo” Butts, of Odessa; his sons, Bernard “Skipper-J” Butts, of Kermit and Brent Butts, of Odessa; his stepson, Fred Fleener and wife Ida, of Odessa; his stepdaughter, Mary Jane Duffy and John, of Odessa; his brother, Cleo Butts, of Coldwater, Kan.; his sister, Dees Denny, of Alva, Okla.; five grandchildren and a great granddaughter; many nephews and nieces, and many, many friends.
May God bless you all!
