Ross BUTLER Obituary

22.03.1962 - 04.04.2025

Suddenly and unexpected in Auckland (From Lower Hutt, formerly Gore). Dearly Loved partner of Judy (Lower Hutt)
Loved son of Owen (dec) and Noeline Butler. Loved brother of Geoffrey and Sharon (Gore), David (Rangiora), Joanne and Jonathan (Gore), and Robyn and Glenn (Gore). Adored uncle of all his nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff at St Johns and all the people that administered help to Ross until the ambulance arrived. We would also like to thank the trucking community for all their kind words and support.

May the lights on your Big Rig keep on shining. Rest in Peace.

A Memorial service will be held at a later date. Messages for the family can be sent to 15 Duke Street, Gore.

Freightlines friend for life. An awesome friend you were, you never judged anyone, a smile a quick chat on phone. Was all that was needed. You had multiple truck accidents but you always got back in the saddle, your an old school driver, and always will be but now it's time to hang up your keys, kick off those steel caps n short shorts , and rest. Your life was amazing and I'm so grateful I was apart of it.
Rip ross Santa. I'll never forget you.
