Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"A HERO is a person who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, or strength." Sergeant Butler is a Hero.

Sir, you sacrificed your life to save others. There is no higher price to pay than giving one's life to save others. Had you not done what you did, others would have surely perished. You honor all of us who serve, and have served by your actions. I know you stand before God now, and his light shines brightly on you. You will be missed beyond measure by all who knew you, but your actions this day should bring comfort to them knowing that you displayed the highest courage and valor in your final moments with us. You make us all proud!

Family, friends and all who read this. God gives us people like Mark for a reason. Like all of my brothers and sisters in uniform, being a peace officer was Mark's calling and reason for living. He served God and all of us with distinction. Honor his memory by continuing Mark's good work in your profession and may God bless Sergeant Butler and all of you.

Fraternally and in brotherhood,
Michael Vail

God rest your soul, Sergeant Butler. May your family, friends, colleagues, and community find the strength and resolve to carry on in your physical absence and continue to spread the goodness to which you were so selflessly committed.

Sergeant Butler, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your military and 4 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Navasota Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

The Bible tells us there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for his fellow man. This Sergeant was a true hero, a true leader, and an inspiration. A safer (for him) option was readily available, and he opted to do for others.
