RIP.
Good man. Fought for what he believed in. Helped the community.

I'm not Baptist, or African American, or even church-going. But Reverend Butts has had my respect and admiration for all the decades that I have known about him. May he have a peaceful eternal rest, and may his loved ones know they are not alone in their sorrow at his passing.
