Butch (Ronald) Villeneuve
June 8, 1947 - August 24, 2020
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Butch Villeneuve on August 24, 2020, at the age of 73. Butch will lovingly be remembered for his infectious laughter, kind heart and the countless hours he dedicated to helping others.
On July 10, 2020, Butch celebrated 20 years of Sobriety and during those years, he helped many people learn how to live the simple life of recovery. Teaching them to be happy, joyous and free, up until the day he joined his creator.

Butch, your caring and loving soul will be missed. I hope that we can all carry on the message and do the service work that you gave so generously.
Brotha man. Thank you for sending me a ‘sign’ to come visit you in the hospital, not knowing you were going to see the creator the next day. Thank you for all the wise coffee chats in your mobile office (your truck) and thank you for being you—seeing the positive side of things with that big laugh and smile of yours. Love you brother. Miss you lots.
Bruce was a solid rock of Love, Kindness and Respect. Many of us looked up to him and his way if life.
