We regret to announce the passing of John Reginald “Butch” [Budie] Paynter of 4 Sofar Drive, St. George’s [St. David’s], who departed this life in his 75th year.

Beloved son of Samuel Paynter and the late Ethelyn Paynter [née Tucker], Butch will be fondly remembered for his strength of character and the lasting impressions he made on all who knew him.

A graveside service will be held at St. Peter’s Church Cemetery, 3 Secretary Road, St. George’s, on March 6th at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are encouraged to wear yellow and blue in his honour.

John is lovingly remembered by his siblings Calvin Paynter, Ethlyn Jacobs, and David Paynter, and was predeceased by his sister Orial O’Brien [née Paynter].

Cherished uncle of Terry Paynter, Nicole Young, Stacey O’Brien, Julia O’Brien, and Daynisha Paynter; Harold Wendell “Fella” Young, Robert Jacobs, George O’Brien Jr., and Brian Jacobs.

He will also be dearly remembered by special friends Linda Pitcher, Becky Pitcher, Carol and Paul O’Connor, the Sofar Drive family, the St. David’s community, and many extended family members and friends too numerous to mention who cherished him dearly.

Special acknowledgement and heartfelt thanks to the CCU Perry Ward staff and long-term care patients at KEMH for their care and support.
