Butch missing you coming over on the weekends to eat with me and our talks that we had. Talking politics, guns, the past. Checking in on each other 3 times a week and laughing that we were still kicking. Rest in peace my brother. Tell Lois, Mike and Mom and Dad to save me a place next to you guys.

Tammy, Troy & Todd - The Garcia family's deepest sympathy on the loss of Butch. He was indeed a gentle soul. I will always be grateful for the time he spent with Roy when checking on him. Cherish Butch's memory, with thankfulness to Jesus for the time allotted with him on earth - with the hope of seeing him again in the heavenly Jerusalem. God's peace and love - Raymond.

60 on the interstate, 20 on a 35 mph road, you must have irritated many, but who cares Butch? Drank all my beer and Jack while waiting out a hurricane, but who cares Butch? Wish you were here to do it again, going to miss you Butch. You were unique and my favorite brother in law, don't tell Troy or Todd. Say hello to Lois, Mike and your mother and dad and see you soon. Love you brother.

You were such a gentleman and sweetheart, except when you took me water skiing in Taylor's Bayou behind your bass boat while we drank Schiltz Beer. God how I hated to hear you were claimed by COVID, Rest In Peace you sweet, gentle soul.
