" May Gods richest blessings engulf the entire Hooper family as they celebrate the graduation of this precious man of God to his heavenly reward. I have had the honor of having Butch & his wonderful family as my dear friends for over 50 years. The times we have spent together in ministry is a treasure my family will never forget. Indeed, true friends that are close in spirit even when geographically separated. Butch was a man of integrity who was the same out of the pulpit as in the pulpit. Compassionate & so full of the love of the Lord. He will be greatly missed but I know his legacy will be continued in the generations that follow him through his precious wife & children & grand children. Family please know that you are deeply loved & held in our prayers as you hold the memories close. We rejoice knowing he is in the arms of Jesus & in the presence of our Father & the many loved ones gone before. God bless you from the Herod & Ragan families. "
