George "Butch" Herhei

Husband, father, and a man's man, George "Butch" Herhei, age 79, passed away at home on February 18, 2025. He was with his wife and love of 55 years at the time of his passing. Born in Amsbry, Pennsylvania, he was the third of four children.

He was preceded in death by parents, Michael and Prudence; siblings Mike, Penny, and Bethel; and daughter Jennifer, in 2001. We know Jenny jumped for joy when she saw her dad again! Butch is survived by his wife, Nancy (Williamson); daughters Brenda Herhei, Christy Appleby (Nate), and Katie Anderson; and brother-in-law, George Williamson 3rd (Pam). He especially loved being a PopPop to Judah, Cohen, Lailan, Asher, Moriah, and Norah.

As a truck driver, Butch worked for A. Duie Pyle from 1973 to 2015. He was proud of working for Pyle and appreciative of the long-term stability he had there. Throughout his life, Butch's identity was one of an athlete, railroad worker, Marine, chocolate factory failure, gas station owner, and trucker. However, the one thing more important than any of those roles was his relationship with Christ. He talked openly about his faith, mentored men one-on-one, and loved ministering with Nancy to couples with disabled children and through the marriage outreach at their church. He knew God had changed his life and wanted others to experience that too.

We will all miss him terribly but are so glad he is finally home. We trust God's promise that we will be together again.
