We loved Bro. Devoto and will certainly miss him. He was such a part of Bethel’s awesome first family. Remembering great times of enjoying his joyful unique personality and friendship. He was an amazing friend and brother in Christ.
Thank you for all the good times Butch! I loved you like a second father growing up. Thanks for all the Sunday afternoons and sleepovers you let Dorothy, Kathy & I have! You will never be forgotten and I will always think of you and the fond memories I have! Until we meet again…Love, Deanna
Darline, I’m always going to remember Butch as the silly, goofy young man. I admired the man he became and you know how much I love you both.
Beautiful and complete picture of our Precious daddy!
Look at my cute grandpa! I sure loved that guy more than I can say…What an amazing life that touched SO many people. Proud to be his granddaughter! LOVE YOU PAPA!
He was more than just a good man. Unbelievable life he lead for Jesus and his kingdom. I too remember the earlier days at Bethel and his devotion to the church and Gods work. We will miss him greatly on earth but can you imagine the great reception in Heaven. We loved you and your family bro and sis Devoto. Kem and Brenda Elder.
