Brant A. Butler

Brant Ambrose Butler went home to be with the Lord with his wife by his side on June 10, 2019 with hopes to see all his loved ones again!

He was born on July 11, 1949 and raised in Urbana, OH. He graduated from Urbana High School in 1967 with a very special class! Brant formed lifelong friendships with classmates and also with other fellow Urbanites. Brant was like Will Rogers, in that he never met a stranger he didn't like. He graduated from Urbana University in 1971. He then moved to Dayton where he met his southern wife from North Carolina, Teresa Eubanks on June 11, 1973. The couple married September 29, 1973. They moved to West Palm Beach, Florida in October 1980, where Brant worked in the banking industry for 10 years and then comptroller for several companies before retiring with Saf-Glas Manufacturing Co with 10 years of service. After retirement, the couple moved to Lillington, NC in 2017.

Brant was co-founder of "Home on the Range" Ministries International Inc. a 501 (c) 3 not for profit organization.(May 1997-May 2017). It's mission was to provide permanent homes for orphans and destitute widows. Several orphanges were started and supported by the ministry.

Brant was closely involved and supported over the years the Bill Butler Champaign Open (B.B.C.O.) in Urbana, which was started by his father, Bill Butler. Proceeds support Champaign County Residential Services.

Brant loved to travel and experience new adventures and he has formed unique bonds with some of the Scottish folks! Some favorites of Brant, practical jokes, verbally jouist with others, peanut butter sandwichs - which his pet name for as "Pennie" . He liked sports of all kinds and even had part ownership in a race car at one point. His favorite team - The Ohio State Buckeyes - of course! Shorts and flip-flops were his outfit of choice as he enjoyed the salt life! He loved his white dove, Spot (25 years young) and his 2 cats, Girlie and Braveheart (15 years young).

Brant had a contagious smile and will be missed by all the ones who's lives he touched. He was a loyal husband, devoted friend and always willing to help a person in need.
