From an IBEW local 21 member. I didn't have the privlege of knowing Patrick but it seems from the comments, he made quite an impact on others. That defines a special person. The Butler family should be very proud. (A wise son is the one that makes a father rejoice... Proverbs 10:1)

Patrick I met as an infant since I used to babsit for him. He was an adorable little boy. He would often play with my little brother Kevin. He was the youngest after his 3 sisters that I babysat for and that was like my brother who had 4 older sisters. He is in my prayers as well as his family. I will always remember him as that adorable little boy.

My whole heart and prayers go out to Missy, their children and all of Pat's family and friends who are going through one of the hardest things imaginable. He was so sweet and really did touch a lot of peoples' lives. I know that he will be remembered by many, forever... especially that smile that always seemed on the verge of laughter. Rest in peace, Pat. You're in my thoughts.
