John was born on November 20, 1959 in King City, Missouri. He was the son of John Howard Butrick Sr. and Alyce Lee (Parsons) Butrick. After graduating high school, John continued his education in many different areas, ultimately creating a very successful career for himself. John was a member of the Carpenter's Union Local 61 and 315 for 40 years. Most of those years he worked for JE Dunn Construction until his retirement in April of this year. He took a lot of pride in the various jobs he did in the Kansas City area and many other states. John was an incredible mentor to many throughout his career.
On December 9, 1989 John married the love of his life, Elizabeth McCann. They enjoyed many happy years together and were blessed with four wonderful children and 6 grandchildren. John had a strong faith in God and truly embodied the role as a leader, protector, and provider for his family. John loved being behind the camera, filming anything and everything from holidays and birthdays to the kids' sports games, and even random objects like food. John especially loved to line up his children, their cousins, and his grandchildren asking them to say their name and age for his videos. He enjoyed gardening and making homemade salsa for family and friends (as long as they brought the jars back of course), as well as golfing with his buddies. Over the past few years, John had become very interested in genealogy and had spent much of his free time researching the Butrick family history and even traveled to Boston, MA to find out more about his ancestors dating back as far as the 1600's.
John is preceded in death by his grandparents, several aunts and uncles, and his in-laws, Max and Louise "Mummzy" McCann. John is survived by his loving wife of over 29 years, Elizabeth A. Butrick; son, John Howard Butrick III; three daughters, Summer Garcia (Brandon), Stormie Butrick, and Jaime Cleland (Brad); six grandchildren, Sophia Garcia, Coen Ray Doss, Olivia Garcia, Grayson Garcia, Sawyer Butrick, and John Howard Butrick IV; former son-in-law, Matt Doss; parents, John Howard Butrick Sr. and Alyce Lee Butrick; and two sisters, Kelly Linard and Alica Montesano (Robert) as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends that he considered family.
A special thanks to Jeff Dooley, Jeremy Chell, and Chad Simmons for their unwavering support to the Butrick family during John's fight with cancer.
