Butch Boley

(From Meadors Funeral Home)

Gene H. Boley, known by all as Butch, passed away on May 4, 2026 in Republic, Missouri at the age of 68.

He was born on November 10, 1957 in Larned, Kansas, the son of the late Wilbur and Veda Boley of Washburn.

Butch served his country in the United States Army where he took immense pride in being part of the Fort Sill Artillery Half Section, an equestrian unit preserving the history of horse-drawn artillery at celebrations and parades.

After his military service Butch moved into the factory working predominantly at EFCO Corporation in Monett, MO as a leadman in the glass shop and then as a maintenance tech at Schreiber Foods in Mt. Vernon, MO.

Butch is survived by loving wife Brenda Boley; sister, Glenda Edwards; son, Joshua Boley; daughter Misty Nelson; three step-children, Travis Gentry, Shane Gentry, and Ashley Burch; in addition to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In accordance with his wishes, Butch's ashes will be scattered along a section of road he enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson down often. A celebration of life will be held later and the family will make the details known.

Meadors Funeral Home of Republic, Missour is honored to serve the family of Butch Boley. Condolences can be left for the family online at www.meadorsfuneralhome.com
