He drove a truck for Wagoner Trucking and he dispatched for Hamm & Phillips at different periods in his life. He was also able to be the boss and run his own company, Boydston Oilfield Services. On July 26, 1995, Butch married the love of his life, Iretia Francis Roth, in a backyard ceremony in the town they loved. They were to celebrate twenty-five years together before her passing on July 14, 2020. Butch loved the outdoors and always looked for the opportunity to get out in the fresh air. He liked to fish and squirrel hunt. He also enjoyed a good round of golf. When he had free time, Butch loved to travel, small trips or big trips, it didn’t matter as long as he could get out and see the scenery.
