![]() It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved Lawrence William "Butch" Rymer Sr., on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, in Richland Hills, Texas. Mr. Rymer was born in Texarkana, Arkansas, on May 3, 1955. He was the first-born son of Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence Rymer. In the course of his life, he lived in many places, always making an indubitable impression on anyone who met him. He was a guitar player, singer, and songwriter who found joy in entertaining his family and friends. Mr. Rymer is survived by his three sons and their spouses; Bobby Rymer (Tracy), Joe Rymer (Devin), Larry Rymer (Samantha); two children he shared with his late wife, Ruby Decker; Nelson Decker and Kimberly Decker. Also left to mourn his loss are his three brothers and their spouses; Billy Ray Rymer (Linda), Lloyd Rymer (Brenda), and Michael Rymer; nineteen grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Even as we grieve his passing, we can find a ray of happiness that he has been reunited with his beloved Ruby, whom he lost nine months prior to his passing. He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. Each of us can say we are a better person for having known him. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date...

Dad, Thank you for always treating me like one of your own. I couldn't have asked for a better father in law. I'm going to miss your sweet, gentle soul. I hope the reunion with Ruby was everything you were waiting for. I love you so much and promise to take care of your son like I promised you that I would. This is not a goodbye but instead, a see you later ❤️.

Papa, I will miss you so incredibly much. I am glad you were able to live a long life, and that you didn’t have to be separated from Nana for long. I will always remember how you were such a fun grandpa, always singing with your guitar and doing silly things to make me laugh. You always made me feel special even if we would go a while without talking. I’m going to miss you so much, and I can’t wait to tell my kids one day about their great-Papa. I love you, and hope you are resting peacefully now. ❤️

Larry was a good man that I will always remember. He was a great friend I wish I could have known better than I did.

He ALWAYS had a smile on his face that was very contagious. And his laugh, he always had a good spirit and happy disposition. He was great to be around and made you feel like you were a close friend to him. Rest in peace, Larry.

I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss. Butch was a good guy, I did not know him well but what I do remember he was a real nice man.

Uncle Butch was my uncle by title, but was more like a dad to me for so much of my life. When I was a little girl he always would ask my parents (Mike Rymer, and Julie Vann) if he could adopt me! I wish they would have said yes lol. My uncle was a kind man with the most peaceful voice, he would always ask me to sing Dixie chicks while he played it on the guitar. Music is a Rymer legacy, it’s a family filled with musicians. Back in the good ol’ days we would all get together at either Uncle Lloyd’s or uncle Bill’s for the cowboy games and the brothers would be in a circle playing guitars and singing, best memories I have. Grandma and was the Queen of the family and she and aunt Brenda used to throw down in the kitchen. Uncle Butch always made it special because he was the oldest brother and he played the part well. He was always great at giving hugs, he was never to busy to stop and listen and give advice! He saved me more than a few times and he gave me love and support. I’m glad he got to have peace and go be with Ruby in heaven. They were always together and I know he mourned and grieved her heavily after she passed. Now they are together with Grandma and all our other loved ones in Heaven!! One last thing…please tell my mom I love her when you see her up there 💛 you’ll always be the in my memories ALWAYS!
