The Chris Butler Memorial Fund was established in 2025 to honour the memory and beautiful life of Chris Butler (1988-2020).

Chris’s love and kindness touched everyone that he met. He was an avid guitar player, and his music, generous heart and infectious smile will always be greatly missed by his friends and family. His life and loss impacted everyone who knew him.

This fund celebrates Chris’s love and generosity to others and ensures that his life and memory will continue on. Awards and donations currently focus on giving back to the community through school scholarships and mental health resources.
