My dad worked with Butch's father in the 1950s and early 60s. During that time my sisters and I had the opportunity to know Butch and spend time with him. Even though he was older he always played with us and invited us to his birthday parties. He was a great friend and I know he will be missed by all his family and those that knew him.

Rest in Heaven, Luke. Thank you for all of the smiles and laughter and love. You were a treasure!
I remember him all my life I'm 57 now
Butch was fixture in Austell when I was growing up, an actual legend. He will be missed, and that town will never be the same.
I remember in 1972 we had a house fire.My mom was pregnant with David Bailey and when the 911 call came in Butch new it was my daddy's address and he ran from downtown Austell to our house on Scott Drive, and he got there before the police or fire truck. That was pretty cool! R.I.P. Butch. You will be missed.
Luke was always a pleasant face to see!! Always kind and never forgot a face. “Hey darlin, you behavin?” Those sweet words would always make me smile, no matter what! Austell def has a hole now. RIP sweet Luke. There will never be another like you!!!!
Gonna miss Luke; he was such a blessing to be around. When I volunteered at Valinda’s, I got to work along side Luke. My twenty something years at Roy Davis, had the please of Luke’s company beside me many times as he rode along to the cemetery paying tribute to his fellow friend at their passing. May you rest from your labor, my dear friend.
What a great guy. He was my friend and he'll surely be missed by everyone who ever met him. I'll always remember his catch phrases of "Are You Bein' Good?" and "Are You Behavin'?", along with "I'm gonna send you to Willie Thomas to get a dose of Castor Oil...!" while pointing and wagging his finger at you!!! If he ever met you, he remembered your name. He was short of stature but has had a big heart and was a friend to everyone. Luke Garrett will be missed and memories of him will be remembered for decades.
