Butcher was born on October 1st, 1962 in Selma, Alabama to Doyle Allen Butcher
and Marion Butcher. He was a 1980 graduate of Crestwood High School and
graduated in 1984 from Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Science in
Marketing. He married his best friend and sweetheart Deborah Butcher in 1985 and
were happily married for 30 years. In his career at Acom Solutions, he combined
his love of technology with his love for people. Eric was recognized with a
national customer service recognition award. Eric was a devoted and loving
husband, father, son, and friend. He loved his family unconditionally and taught
his children to be grateful for each and every moment. A lover of the outdoors,
he felt most at peace being outside - whether that was hunting in Alabama,
walking the local hiking trails with his favorite buddy Jesse, or sitting on the
patio watching the birds and soaking up the sun. Besides his family, his other
great loves in life were music and sports. Eric could name any classic rock song
within the first three seconds of playing and passed this appreciation on to
both of his children. He attended numerous concerts of his favorite bands with
beloved friends and family including Boston, Journey, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and his
very favorite, Pink Floyd. Eric gained a great appreciation for football from
his time playing in high school to coaching his own son Cody's football team. He
loved watching high school, collegiate, or professional football and could talk
football with anyone. Eric will be remembered for his strong heart, sharp sense
of humor, selfless love of family and friends, and deep faith. A memorial
service is scheduled for Thursday 9/8 at 3:30 p.m. at Level Creek United
Methodist Church (4844 Suwanee Dam Road, Suwanee GA 30024). Family will receive
friends in the church fellowship hall after the service. In lieu of flowers,
donations to the Sarcoma Foundation of America (www.curesarcoma.org )or Level Creek United
Methodist Church building fund in memory of Eric Butcher are
appreciated.
