Arnold “Butch” Ball, age 77 of Burnsville, NC, went Home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 20, 2024.
Butch was the absolute best husband, daddy, and Paw to his whole family, of whom he was always so proud of and loved with all of his heart.
He was loved by all who met him, and in him, they knew they had a friend for life.
Anytime Butch’s name was mentioned by anyone, they always said, “He is a good man”. He wasn’t just a good man, but a saved man, who loved the Lord and his family so very much.
He was a member of Coffee Ridge Baptist Church in Erwin, TN, and proudly served our country during the war in Vietnam.
Butch especially loved Bluegrass and Gospel music and taught his grandsons how to play the guitar and dobro. Because of this music, they formed a bluegrass band, and he faithfully followed them everywhere they went. All of his grandchildren were his pride and joy.
Butch was preceded in death by his mother, Jane Evelyn Weeks. Left to cherish all of his many precious memories is his wife, Beverly Ball; daughter, Bethany (Benjie) Riddle; son, Justin Tipton; and daughter, Julie (Rodney) Austin; grandchildren: Jonah Riddle and Ashlyn Miller, Grayson Riddle, Colt Austin, and Carly Austin; as well as a special friend, Mike Fleenor, who was faithful to come and visit.
Family will receive friends and loved ones for one hour during visitation in the Chapel of Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. with the service following at 4:00. Interment will follow the service in the Ball Family Cemetery in Burnsville, NC. Reverend Philip Garland and Reverend Scot Garland will be officiating.
