He was preceded in death by his parents Carl and Rosella Gomez. He moved to Pueblo when he was a child, becoming a lifelong resident. Upon graduating from South High School, he joined the United States Marine Corps as a reservist. When he wasn’t reporting for duty, he worked at his parents’ business, Carl’s Drive Inn. After completing his time in the Marine Corps, he spent 37 years working at the CF&I Steel Mill before retiring in 2003. Butch thoroughly enjoyed spending his retirement with family and friends.
