Mr. Butler died on Sunday, December 9, 2018 at Sanctuary Hospice House. He was born February 4, 1945, in Morgan County to John Buford and Zippria Reno Butler . Tim grew up in Falkville, Alabama and lived there his entire life until last year moving to Tupelo to be close to his daughter. Tim was employed with Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company where he retired several years ago. Tim was a gifted musician who loved to sing and pick guitar to country music and old gospel hymns. He made a name for himself when it came to fine tuning and repairing guitars. Tim’s passion and hobby for piddling with guitars acquired him quite a collection over the years. In addition to collecting guitars, Tim also enjoyed collecting vintage coins. Tim was strong in his faith and possessed a generous soul who believed in giving back, and he did so through mail ministry. He was preceded in death by his parents: John Buford Butler and Zippria Butler Tanksley and one sister: Jean Butler.
