Butch will be remembered most for his gift of music and the joy he brought to countless lives as a beloved DJ of beach and shag music. His dedication and passion for the art of sharing music earned him numerous honors throughout his life, including the prestigious Richard Nixon Award, and his place in the DJ Hall of Fame at Fat Harold’s in N. Myrtle Beach. He was also a co-founder and longtime member of ABSCDJ, a member of the Sand Flea Living Legends, the Thirsty’s 2 Wall of Fame, a lifetime member of both the Living Legends Association and S.O.S, and a member of the Pug Wallace Intergalactic Society. He was a long time DJ for the Competitive Shaggers Association. Butch’s voice and carefully chosen songs on JukinOldies.com will continue to be heard and cherished for years to come, a lasting reminder of the joy he created through music everywhere he traveled.

Beyond the accolades and achievements, Butch will be remembered for his spirit and the love he shared with those around him. He had a gift for friendship, never meeting a stranger and always welcoming others with his warm smile and open heart. His fun-loving personality, kindness, and acceptance left a mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. To his family, friends, and all who crossed his path, Butch was more than a DJ—he was a source of laughter, love, treasured memories, and an avid storyteller of his adventures throughout the years. Butch had a deep love for record collecting and spinning vinyl. His presence was a blessing, and his legacy of joy and friendship will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Left to cherish his memory are his fiancé, Vicki Briles, of the home; daughter, Rebecca Metcalf; son, Brentley Metcalf; stepdaughter, Amanda Motley (Josh); grandchildren, Chance Hailey, Lane Hailey, and Mason Lilly; Rina Lookabill (his girl) and precious fur babies, Snickers and Millie.
