Butch was an avid reader of Texas American History and loved talking about Texas History - especially longhorn cattle.

He was a member of Cedar Lane Baptist Church where he had served in the Building and Grounds Committee for several years.

He is survived by his loving ex-wife and best friend Barbara Eastman Bevers of Cedar Lane; his son, Brett Bevers of College Station, Texas; daughter, Jennifer Hill (Paul) and their family of Cedar Lane, Texas; Granddaughter Kasie Gee (Dustin) of Bay City, Texas; Granddaughter Kara Wangerin (Maddie) of Van Vleck, Texas; Granddaughter, Briahna Yuodsnukis of Chicago, Illinois; Great Grandsons, Kasen Gee and Dalen Wangerin.

Butch was a loving father, grandfather, and friend. He was always present and willing to help his family and friends in any way he could. Butch could be found spending the majority of day light outside of his home watching sunrises and sunsets on his front porch swing. He had a great knack for making others laugh and making plenty of memories in the spirit of his late son, Jason Dwayne Graham. He will be forever missed.
