Scholarship RationalE
Who was Butch Davies?
This scholarship(s) will be awarded to individuals who represent the ideals that Butch valued and demonstrated throughout his life.
Butch Davies (1947 - 2023) was a fun-loving, hardworking, honest individual who highly valued his family and his friends. As his daughter Krisi explained, “ Butch wasn’t an “I love you” kind of guy. He was more of a rough and gruff and a “you’re such a dumbass,” kind of guy. However, he had the biggest heart of anyone I know. And his love came out through his actions far more than through his words.” Butch lived his life with dignity and gusto! He loved his family, his extended family, his many many friends and a great escapade whether it be a road trip, ice fishing, flying one of his airplanes, a good game of euchre or enjoying dinner out at his many favorite restaurants. Butch, along with his Dad and Brother-in-Law, created and ran Davies Excavating of Hastings, MN.
