My Dad


Paul Marvin Butterworth 1952 ~ 2010 Paul Marvin Butterworth 58, died Saturday, June 19th. A hike to Mt Olympus was his final conquest. He was a husband, father, and Papa to his family. He was extremely passionate about the things that he loved to do. He loved genealogy, traveling and exercising. He was a faithful temple worker in the Jordan River Temple for 17 years. He had a dry sense of humor and relished in engaging others. He took great pride in all his endeavors, especially as a painting contractor. No detail was too small and no job was left un-done until it was perfect. He is survived by his wife of almost 35 years, Barbara Perry. Two sons, Eric (Dawnette) Jason and daughter Liz Mackay (Doug). Six beautiful grandchildren, Justus, Kaylee, Jaxon, Ashlyn, and six month old twins Brynlee and Breanne. One sister Jeri Egan, and his very best friend in the world Toby dog. Preceded in death by his parents and sister. He will be missed by all those who's life he touch, and especially by his family. A multitude of thanks for the Unified Police and the search and rescue team for the hours they spent in the rescue, and to those unknown Samaritans who stayed by his side and tried to help. You are all truly angels. Viewing will be at Wasatch Lawn, 3401 S. Highland Dr., Wed., June 23rd, 6-8 p.m. Funeral Thursday, June 24th 1:00 p.m. at the LDS Church House 3364 W. 11400 S.

Oh Liz, I cried when I read this, even though it's probably been more then ten years since I've seen him, I have many fond memories of your Dad. I'm thinking of you, and let your mom know I'm also thinking of her also.
