Darrell Buttrum

Darrell Buttrum, 56, of Jasper, Georgia, passed away on March 12, 2026. He was born on December 19, 1969, in Calhoun, Georgia, to the late Danny Buttrum and Louise Mulkey Buttrum.

Darrell was a free spirit with a tender heart that one had to earn to see. He never stayed in one place too long, yet he remained respectful, quick with a joke, and always ready to make someone smile. A devoted father, playful uncle, and true original, he was known for giving everyone their own affectionate nickname—from “baby girl” to “little lady” to “little B.” Full of quirks and always keeping people guessing, Darrell brought laughter and warmth to those around him.

He was preceded in death by his son, Josh Buttrum, and his parents. He is survived by his daughter, Krystle Buttrum; his grandchildren, Jazzlyn Buttrum and Kailee Foster; and his brothers, Bobby and Brittany Buttrum, David Boling, and Michael Hall. He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews, Megan Townsend, Marissa Buttrum, Colby Buttrum, Kaidence Buttrum, and Braydon Buttrum. His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.

Darrell had a way of ending every message to his daughter with the same simple words, a memory she will carry with her always. And so, in his own familiar way, we sign off for him one last time: I love you. Always, Me.
