Butch Patterson

Carl “Butch” Eugene Patterson, Jr., age 68, of Bonne Terre, passed away Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at his residence.  He was born on March 6, 1952 in Bonne Terre. Butch worked for the Doe Run Company over 40 years. Anyone who knew Butch Patterson knows there is not enough paper to write all the good things about him and how many lives he touched from coaching, to being a husband, father, and an amazing friend to so many. Hunting, fishing, and golf were his hobbies, and being a joy to others, a gift. Butch loved his family above all else. He will be missed dearly. Rest in peace.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl Eugene Patterson, Sr. and Margaret (Rosener) Scott, and son, Nathan Patterson.

Butch is survived by his wife Laura (Wadlow) Patterson; children, Brian (Catie) Patterson, Charissa (Amy Nash) Sherrill; and Bryce McGuire; grandchildren, Darien, Bailey, Quinton, Jullian, Keeghan, Keyari, and Natelie; brother, Denny Patterson; sister, Debbie (Neil) Patterson; and many other dear family and friends.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date. Memorials may go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital stjude.org. Arrangements are under the direction of C.Z. Boyer & Son Funeral Home in Bonne Terre
