Butch was born on January 27, 1964 in LaFayette, IN to Jerry and Patricia Foster. He was raised in Phoenix, where he was employed with Wood Brothers and Halstead Lumber for many years. He settled in Amarillo in 1981, working at Maywood and Sutherlands. He was an avid NASCAR fan, his favorite driver being Dale Earnhardt, Sr. In his free time, he enjoyed riding his bike, and was lovingly known as "Bicycle Butch" to those closest to him.
