Charles Harrison "Babe Boy" Butts, 74, of Henderson, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at his home.

Babe Boy as he was affectionately known to family and friends was born in Henderson, Kentucky, on June 16, 1952, to Leta Butts.  He attended Henderson County Public Schools.  Charles also attended First Missionary Baptist Church in earlier years and believed in the Lord.

He worked at Accuride, Ellis Park, and was employed as a custodian at Nazarene Baptist Church until Covid.  After living in Evansville for a number of years, Babe Boy moved back home where he could be found on his front porch with friends and neighbors always with a smile.

Babe Boy loved fast cars, and anywhere there was four wheels and a car, he was right there.  He loved his soap operas and his westerns, sports, and three television so he would not miss anything.  Babe Boy was always willing to help neighbors, family, and friends.

Babe Boy, you are truly missed.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Leta Butts; one daughter, Sheena Sandage; one son, Jason L. Brown; one niece, Crystal Tuck; and one nephew, Kevin Tuck.

He leaves to mourn, two sons, Joshua Brown of Kokomo, Indiana, and Jonathan Oakley (Allyson) of Henderson, Kentucky; one daughter, Lynn Clements of Henderson, Kentucky; three sisters, Patricia Tyler, Charlotte Smoot, and Tanya Carpenter, all of Henderson, Kentucky; two brothers, Eugene Hatchett of Owensboro, Kentucky, and Derrick D'von Butts (Allison) of Evansville, Indiana; a number of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends; and a very special friend, Marthette McGuire of Bear, Delaware.

Services will be at noon Friday, July 3, 2026, at First Missionary Baptist Church, 20 South Elm Street, Henderson, Kentucky 42420.  The Reverend George Madison and the Reverend Robert Whitlock will officiate.

Visitation will be from 11 a.m. until service time Friday at the church.
