Early Life and Family Roots
Born on November 26, 1941, in the heart of Duluth, Butch’s journey was defined by love and dedication. He married the love of his life, Cindy Abrahamson, on August 24, 1968. Together, they created a beautiful family, raising two sons, Eric and Shawn, who were the pride and joy of their lives.
A Legacy of Love and Family

He is preceded in death by his loving parents, Russell and Lucille (Grannan) Abrahamson, his cherished wife Cindy (Schueller), and his siblings: Roland “Nick”, Dale “Pete”, and Lynne “Cookie” Donoho.
