Troy Butler

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Steven “Troy” Butler, a beloved son, brother, father, husband, and friend whose kindness, quiet strength, and love for others touched countless lives.

Troy was born on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1971, in Silver Spring, Maryland, to the late Lynwood C. Butler and Margo D. Griffin.

A talented carpenter, Troy took great pride in building with his hands and creating things that would last. He loved music—especially Chris English and his band, Brother Lowdown—disc golf, and spending time with family and friends. Anyone who knew Troy remembers his quick wit, unforgettable stories, and ability to make people laugh.

One of Troy’s greatest joys was being a father to his son, Nathan, whom he loved deeply and was immensely proud of.

Throughout his life, Troy experienced both happiness and hardship, yet he continued to move forward with resilience. In recent months, he faced cancer with remarkable courage and determination.

Troy is survived by his loving mother, Margo D. Griffin; his son, Nathan; his brother, Scott (Amanda); step- sister Gina Floyd (Joe)and many other family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his father, Lynwood C. Butler and step- father, Michael Griffin.

Though his time with us was far too short, Troy’s legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Come celebrate the life of our brother, our friend, Troy Butler. He meant so much to so many. Come laugh, cry and remember him with us on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 3:00PM, at 33639 Craddockville Road, across the street from The Chair Place. There will be live music, disc golf and food. We'll provide meat, baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw so bring a side if you want. BYOB and bring your own chair. Wear your tie-dye and bring your stories and pictures so we can show his son what a life he had. All are welcome.
