Howard Butler was an outstanding citizen of Warren having took part in civic affairs for his entire adult life. He was a pillar of the Power House Church of God in Christ. Known as a hard worker and loving family man, Bro. Butler was an advisor to several Warren Mayors and always provided sound and godly advice.
Former Warren Mayor Gregg Reep spoke of his friendship with and appreciation for Bro. Butler and what the Butler family has meant to him. District Judge Bruce Anderson was present and thanked the Butlers for their love of young people and support for helping them receive an education.
Due to the large crowd there was talk of having to hold future memorials in a bigger venue.
