The City of West Fork extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Michael “Butch” Bartholomew.

Butch dedicated more than four decades of service to the City of West Fork, faithfully serving our community from 1971 until his retirement in 2014. His commitment, hard work, and unwavering dedication to the citizens of West Fork helped shape our city and touched countless lives along the way.

Butch was more than an employee—he was a trusted friend, mentor, and an icon of our community. His legacy of service and devotion to West Fork will not be forgotten, and the impact he made will be felt for generations to come.

The City of West Fork has lost a true legend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Butch’s family during this difficult time as we honor and remember a man who gave so much to the community he loved.
