He was born in Sheridan, AR on September 24, 1960 to the late Virgil Buttrum and Alice Knox. He was fascinated with music his entire life, having been in choir and band in school and was regularly seen with his record player on his porch playing music for the whole neighborhood. He served 4 years in the US Navy aboard the USS Belleau Wood and was honorably discharged.
He loved entertaining any chance he could, whether it be by telling life stories, funny jokes, or on stage doing karaoke. He was one of the kindest people you would ever meet and his smile would light up the room. He will be missed tremendously.
He is survived by his siblings Wanda, Trina, Belinda, Kay, and Tracy, as well as his son Jeremiah and wife Brittany, and his faithful dog Fred.
