Obituary Rick James Butler 1951-2022
Richard (Rick) James Butler of Singhampton passed away peacefully in his home in his 72nd year on February 1st, 2022. He was fortunate that his final days were spent surrounded by his loving family. Most of us can only dream of having the type of love that he experienced with Lynne Dawson Butler of 44 years who was his best friend, wife, and life partner all rolled into one.
They started their journey together in Markdale, Ontario where they embarked on rural farming and raising a family. While farming Rick also worked as a project manager for Wimpey, Carillion and Aecon and these undertakings can been seen through the GTA, central, and northern Ontario. Lynne and Rick spent time beneath the waves scuba diving all around Ontario. As the family grew, they could all be found on the ski hills where Rick was a ski patroller for many years. Throughout his life Rick had a passion for the outdoors, particularly nature conservancy such as fishing, hunting, and forest management. Rick’s work in northern Ontario instilled a love for this area, so he and Lynne purchased a cottage at Cummings Lake where he spent many happy years with his family. He will also be missed at his weekly golf game.
His legacy lives on through his family, and his loving and adventurous spirit will be remembered and missed by: his wife, Lynne Dawson-Butler: Son Daniel Butler (Karen Szabo); daughter Jessica Butler (Shane Flood); his grandson Erik Szabo-Butler; his brothers Timothy Butler and Chris Butler; his nieces and nephews; and by all his life-long friends who became family. In keeping with his wishes, a private family gathering will occur later in time. In lieu of flowers, condolences can be directed at Fawcett Funeral Home, Flesherton. Memorial donations can be made at Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation and/or Georgian Triangle Humane Society. “Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure” Unkown
