Samuel York Jr, affectionately known as "Butch," passed away on Sunday July, 21 at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, LA surrounded by his loving family. He was a life-long resident of Prairieville, Louisiana.

Butch leaves to cherish all of his precious memories; his parents Samuel York Sr and Diana Scruggs York of Wilson, LA; Three (3) sisters, Shandricka, Keidra, and Kisha; Eight (8) children; Fiancé, Michelle Byrd and a very special son Areluas "Randell" Myers.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love shown to them during their moment of bereavement. No act of kindness has gone unnoticed, and a more formal thank you will be done at a later date.

Please continue to keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
