Thomas Berlin Butler's Obituary
Thomas was born November 5, 1939 to the late Adam Butler and Virginia Butler. He had a twin brother (Frederick) and two sisters (Diane and Sharna). He was surrounded by family when he peacefully passed at home on July 6, 2024.
He felt fortunate to grow up in the mountains of Colorado. He was a ski instructor at Sun Valley and also enjoyed mountain climbing, and ice skating. While he was still a young man, he was lucky to find his passion for real estate that he turned into a lifelong career. He was a founding broker of Butler & Butler in Colorado and then of Butler Real Estate Company in Utah. His other joy in life were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Thomas leaves behind Daughters: Heather Walker (Darren), Heidi Hellige (Charles); Grandchildren: Skylar Walker (Amy), Sabrina Doran (Skyler), Charles Joseph Hellige, Shaun Hellige (Sophia); Great Grandchildren: Josephine Walker, Jake Doran.
