Our sincere condolences to the Butler family. Kevin was a great friend we knew for many years. I had so many great conversations with him and many fond memories attending local events. He was always very considerate and such a genuinly kind soul. Our kids grew up together and we spent many evenings at the Butler household. Also on a lighter note you could always see who was coming down the street when you saw Kevin’s long grey hair ☺
Rest in Peace Kevin ❤
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.
Joanne Basso says
Brendan and Daniel, I’m so saddened to hear about your Dad. I will keep you both in my prayers during this difficult time.

We are so very sad to hear of Kevin’s passing…in the early years, Kevin and Pauline and myself and my husband spent many good times together, having fondues, visits, before our children were born! We moved far away, but we’re able to visit after our babies were born, Dan and Brendan and my daughter, lovely times and memories.
Rest In Peace Kevin, you were a nice man and you loved your family!

Our sympathies to Kevin’s family. We played badminton with him as a group. He was a quiet soft spoken man. Very kind. We will miss his smile.
Mallory says
I will always remember the times I spent at Uncle Kevin’s house with my family. We attended mass on Sunday’s with my grandparents, and enjoyed a brunch together once we got home. I spent many Christmas’, Easter’s, and Thanksgiving with the family and will cherish these moments.
My greatest memory will be the trip I took to Portugal with my Mum, and Uncle Kevin. My uncle was always the happiest when travelling!
Love, and light to my Uncle resting well with Poppy, Grandma, and my Dad, Steve.

To the Butler family, please accept my sincerest condolences. Kevin was always a regular attendee when my husband’s band performed, which is how I knew him. I really enjoyed my conversations with him. He was a very supportive, considerate and endearing friend, always the ‘silent guy in the background’. I’m very relieved that his pain is over. RIP Kevin.
