To my dearest cousin Johnny Jr, may the Lord lift you up to his glory and pronounce you as his Angel! I will miss our random out of the blue talks, not often, but thats ok. Although we lived thousands of miles away from each other, you have planted memories with me that I'll never forget! You took me to my first casino, Atlantic City, you said Dawn, just stay with me and everything will be fine, i was under age at that time. I know we weren't close, but family is family and for that, it's all that matters. Here's to you cuz up above, come and visit me in spirit anytime you want!
Love ya cuz,
Dawn

To all who loved John, remember his laugh, remember his spirit, remember his ability to take any room boring to Exciting, but most of all remember the one thing John always talked about or wrote about on FB which was Love . He just wanted everyone to treat each other with kindness, and patience and be the type of friend you could always count on. I believe this was his message to all while he was here on earth and I believe this would be how we can all carry on his legacy going forward. John we will miss your kindness and heart but your legacy will live on. Our deepest condolences to family and friends. God Bless.

My condolences to Diane, John and MIchelle and all of the friends whose lives were touched by John. I am grateful to have been a FB friend of John. It gave me a glimpse of the beautiful person he was inside and out. The last time I saw John he was a young teen with a great future ahead. He was so much to so many. May the memories of love, good times and laughter carry all in his circle of family and friends through this time...Peace!

We have had the privilege of meeting John when we moved to Aspen Meadows. The love that poured from this man for his family, friends, and our community was contagious. He made me laugh until I would cry at his stories. His love of decorating at Christmas will be missed and I will have a tree up in the community building, remembering John as I do so. As hard as this will be I will try and live with this saying. Don't cry because he's gone, Smile because I knew him.

To: Michelle and the Entire Butler Family:
It is with great sadness to hear about the passing of a dear friend, John.. I met John many years ago, after relocating from New York to Delaware. We were co-workers along with his dear Sister, Michelle. It was a pleasure working with John. He was such a nice, caring and comedic person!
Family, the burden is heavy, but take comfort in knowing that John has taken on his wings and soared like an eagle, wearing a brand new robe, and yes, dining at the Master's table with a change of address. However, his fond memories will forever be in our heart. Rest in peace, dear friend/co-worker, John. We love you!
Prayerfully and lovingly submitted,

To John's parents, sister Michelle and his many friends - our deepest and sincerest sympathies. We were connected to John through other friends and family and were lucky to spend some time with him at the beach two years ago. He was a kind, funny and obviously compassionate person. He spoke so lovingly of his family. May your memories, your faith and God's love envelope you in your time of mourning.

To John & Diane Buttler and their daughter Michelle I didn't know John very long but he was a great person he had a heart the size of Texas. He inspired everyone who crossed his path. He support and encouraged me as I went down the path of Breast Cancer (now four year cancer free) and anytime I was going through a struggle. John always had time for his friends. He was very well respected in our neighborhood and community. I will miss him more than the words in my heart can say. I have prayed that God will give all who loved and will miss him a comfort and peace that passath all understanding. I know we are all in shock and struggling to understand but I know John lived his Lord with all his heart and always would say all things good or bad happen for a reason. John isno longer in pain he no longer suffers but now has a perfect pain free body and is inarms of the Lord he lived so much. Time will.pass but our live for John will forever go on.y deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I will never forget John and his kind gentle spirit. May he forever rest in peace

John was one of the most beautiful souls I will likely to have been blessed to ever know on this earth! I am so saddened to learn of his passing, but also know how he will continue to bless others as he starts a new journey. God bless the Butler family and his many friends who will forever miss his presence here on earth but look forward to seeing him again. My thoughts and prayers to all!!

Our hearts are broken for John's family. I know what an amazing friendship he shared with my brother who feels so lost right now. John was a caring, kind and loving soul that will not be soon forgotten. He loved you all so much. He was always so good to our family. That can never be repaid.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of John.
I was an acquaintance of John through mutual friends at the beach.
Although we were not close friends, whenever I saw him, I never felt like a stranger: he had a genuine interest in people and how they were doing.
I always appreciated that about John and I am glad I got to see him (by chance) on the boardwalk in Rehoboth around Christmas this past year.
Rest In Peace, John.
