Ronceverte-William Henry Butler, 79, passed away at the White Sulphur Springs Center, Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2018.
Born July 9, 1939, at Summersville, he was the son of the late William “Bill” and Zetta Mae Rogers Butler.
Henry worked for the WV Department of Highways for 48 years before his retirement.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his two sons, Tony Scurlock and Eugene Butler both of Ronceverte; two sisters, Helen Simpson of Texas and Betty Hughes of Summersville; and brother, Donald Butler of Summersville.

Henry was known to many as Papaw Butler and his life was a true testimony. He was such a kind-hearted, amazing man. His love for his family is beyond words. Daddy, you will truly be missed but you will forever live within your little girl’s heart.
Henry’s wish was to only have a graveside service that will be held at Rosewood Cemetery, Lewisburg, at 2 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 11, with Rev. David Deskins officiating.
