Deepest sympathy to the Butler family. I have fond memories of David at Lyons Middle School as his coach and teacher. Also, remember when he drove a group of us in a van to the start of RAGBRAI one year. Good to see his smile in this picture; so sorry about his passing. Richard Grugin

Dave was the epitome of humility, and it was a privilege to have known and worked with him for the past 10 years . He was 'all in' every day and took care of his NAMI family with a smile and 'can do' attitude. He will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace, my friend.

RIP to a good man. Dave was a gentleman, daily giving his energy and focus to everyone around him. Mild mannered, but the most dependable coworker. Sir, it was a pleasure working w you. We'll all miss. Gone too soon. Take care, brother. -Jason Wardy
