John Buttram Memorial Fund

John loved four things above all else, god, his family, his country and acting. 

John worked so hard to provide for his family, often working more than one job.  He never complained when the work was hard and was constantly trying to better himself.

He was very proud of 20 years of serving his country in the USAF and in the reserves.  When he retired, he and his wife Karla volunteered at the VA Hospital. 

When he was able, he also acted in local community theater.  He performed in the Simon Peter play several years and recently enjoyed being part of a group holiday reading at a local Christmas light event.

John also enjoyed running - the times he was chosen to run as part of the National Guard running team were runs he was particularly proud of.  He was a reader of history and the "go to" guy if you had questions about history, music or geography.  Mostly though, John was a nice guy - he's the guy who would help you move, loan you money he couldn't afford, push a stranger's car, or just help out in any way he could think of.

We lost John so unexpectedly, his family is still in shock at his sudden passing.  Unfortunately, money is tight and his wife and son could use a hand with these very unexpected final expenses. 

We are grateful for your love and support.  

We miss you already John, we can't believe you are gone.
