Christopher A Butcher

Chris Butcher was a big deal. He was a wild thing at heart who lived fully and lived fast, and above all else he loved hard, completely and unconditionally. He was born with a fire inside him. It began as an all-consuming blaze, and he spent his life tending it until it became the warmest glow, the kind that keeps people warm in their darkest moments. He became a protector and a comforter.

Chris became an anchor for his family. He was the kind of father who used everything he had to make sure his children were taken care of. His assignment in life was harder than most, yet he met each hardship head on. He reinvented himself again and again as he needed to. He became an expert in surviving, adapting, healing, forgiving and loving, and he shared that wisdom with people from all walks of life. He valued all life in the most profound way.
