Its been 3 years and not a day goes by where I don't miss you or hate myself for what I did to you. Im sorry for not being better and giving up on myself which in return made me give up on us. I'm sorry I didn't understand the pain behind your eyes...I hadn't lived it to know how to. I was young and I'm still young and still fairly stupid but I try to be a better woman. It doesn't help that I still find little remnants of your memory everywhere I go. Little "misplaced" items. Everyone tells me its coincidence and they're probably right but I think of you every time...and I think of all the nights we spent unhappy and wished we could have just...stopped. You weren't a saint or an angel by any means and neither was I, but even though my later actions convinced you otherwise...I loved you more than you'll ever know. You were the best person I've ever met. I didn't realize how blind I really was until now...we may not have had everything and I had horrible coping mechanisms but that Batcave was my home. I'll forever miss you and hope you're okay. I know you aren't proud of who I've become...all I ask is that you try and see how far I've come. Please take care of my maw maw and watch over my sweet Reesie. I miss her so much...my heart has stayed broken ever since the day I last said goodbye. Happy 3 years...my broken heart will always be with you Batman💛🦇

You loved me at my best and my worst, my fattest and thinnest, my ugliest and my prettiest, my "smartest" (whatever that even is😂) and my stupidest (99.9% of the time), when I was insecure and when I was on top of the world; when I'd run away and when I'd find my way home. You loved me when I hated myself; you loved me when I gave up on my life. You loved me when I'd act like a straight-up difficult ass Nancy. You loved me with make up on, but even more without. You loved me in a dress; you loved me in your boxers. You even loved me when I wouldn't spray the bathroom😂🙊💩. I hope one day I'm lucky enough to find someone to love me the same way again. I hope to find someone whose smile can light up my world like yours could; someone who can accept me for my little quirks and my stupid ass jokes; someone who can understand I can be a complicated human being sometimes; someone who just makes me feel the way that you did. I'll never be the same without you, but I promise I'll do my best to make you proud of me. I love you Batman, forever and ever and ever + 1🖤💛

Hi my love, how are you doing tonight? I'm really missing you a lot tonight. I hope you're flying so high up there, smiling and laughing and HOPEFULLY training my grandma up there, which I'm holding you to...she had better have a six pack and be able to outlift me when I get up there! I know you're probably looking down at me like I'm a crazy person: happy one day then a complete basketcase like I am tonight, but please forgive me. I found this song tonight, I'm not sure how but I'm really glad I did because it's keeping me somewhat sane. I'm sure you hear me listening to it on repeat wishing I'd quit torturing myself but that's just too dang bad huh?? I hope you sleep well tonight in the fluffiest cloud up there because you deserve it my angel. I love you so much, you're the best person a crazy ole' girl like me could've ever known🖤🦇💛
Thank you Marilyn for creating my batman. He may be gone now, but I have you, and getting to know you has been the greatest pleasure of mine, truly. I have you and you'll always have me! I love you☺️❤️
Jimmy Scott: Wings of a Butterfly (Spoken Version)
"As I was walking deep in sorrow thinking about the times we shared
A butterfly danced round me, a white cloud in the evening air
And I knew that your soul was finally home and free
But it felt like a blessing, a message from you to me
Now you can fly, now you can soar
So high above this world where troubles are no more
The time has come to say goodbye
And let your soul go to heaven on the wings of a butterfly
Just a few days after they called us to a church to pray
Loved ones gathered round you to bless and send you on your way
And as I got up to speak, it suddenly caught my eye
White wings against the window, a beautiful butterfly...
Now you can fly, now you can soar
So high above this world where troubles are no more
This love of ours will never die
So let your soul go to heaven on the wings of a butterfly
One day we'll meet again in heaven and we'll fly like that butterfly"

It has been 5 days since I found out about Jason's death.
I lost my grandparents when I was a kid and I remember being sad about that. As an adult, this is the closest person that I have lost. It has been very tough. At one point the other night, I felt like getting out of bed and running down the street. I'm starting to accept what has happened and am determined to keep a part of jason alive thru me helping others.
I was 3 months sober when I met Jason and had just turned 25. I had been on the streets and in and out of jail the past 5 years. At that point, I had never had friends that wanted to help me out of the goodness of their heart. Jason came strolling into my home group one night and I kept me eye on him. Something was different about him. He had a fire in his eye. It wasn't too much longer that we were inseparable. He would never leave me out of anything and if I tried to hide, he would come and find me and get me out of my hole and talk to me and tell me that I was worthy. Over the next few years, me and jason grew very close and i witnessed him help and build up numerous people. He held a position on a committee in AA that had him traveling around the state spreading the message to young people in AA. I can't even imagine how many lives he helped save. I was close to the jumping point early in sobriety and Jason came and got me and stayed with me and took care of me, he even tucked me into bed and layed his hand on me and made sure I fell asleep and didn't drink. To this day, I have never experienced anything like that.
After he got sick things started changing, and that light started to dim. I tried reconnecting many times and we we would spend time together but we could never rekindle that fire he had for the program. We were both alcoholics so I was always confused and concerned how he would handle life without staying sober. He was my hero so I always felt he would get back and figure it out and would continue where he left off, but it never did happen. I kept in touch with him over the years and seen him continue to fight the odds. He was a great man and I truly wish I could have done more. There are so many loose ends here.
I feel very powerless over this situation and it has been very sad to lose my fiend.
For anyone that didn't know of Jason's time in AA , I can't stress enough how big of an impact he had on me and countless others. He was one of the biggest reasons I made it this far.
I loved Jason Butler with all of my heart and am very grateful to have met him!
RIP Coronel.

I met Jason on March 13, 2017 at his job YouFit. I was coming out of respiratory failure two months prior of our encounter. Jason saw me with my oxygen tank and was very eager to help me. Jason ask me a few questions and ask me to come into his office. I had told him everything that I was facing and he declared that my battles is his as well. He promised that he will get me off my oxygen . On April 5, the doctor was impressed on my weight lost and my oxidation levels that he took me off oxygen. Jason hard determination to get me off made this happened. I was able to save my job due to this. The next month, I have achieved over 100lbs lost with Jason's regiments. I really believe he was God sent. Jason was one of the best things that ever happened to me within a year. It a short period he have change my life forever and I will never forget him. RIP Jason, I will continue the fight and spread your knowledge and passion to others who are in need.

This world has lost a deeply loyal and courageous soul recently. I met Jason when I was just a teenager struggling to find light in a dark world. He gave me so much hope when I didn't think it was possible. Watching him push past incredible odds and sickness to reach his goals in personal and mental health, but also building others up along the way. We would talk usually a few times a year but I would always reached out to him on the 2nd of April to let him know I cared about him and to thank him for all he did in helping me. You will truly be missed by many my friend. Rest easy...

Jason and I met a few years ago at the UFC gym. I was his client, and from our first meeting, we had a friendship that went beyond the business of client/trainer relations. He was an amazing trainer and constantly pushed me to my physical limits. After a few sessions, he told me his story and told me to watch the news reports made about him. After that, I thought Jason was an incredible person. Going through countless surgeries and still managing to not only participate in but win a bodybuilding competition. That was seriously impressive and made me have a whole new level of respect for Jason. To this day, his story is one of the most compelling I have experienced in my life. Whenever I think about something I "can't" do, I think about how Jason overcame SO much and was still able to accomplish his dreams, this is a story I will remember for the rest of my life. My deepest condolences go out to his family. & I will miss my friend. Rest in eternal peace brother, we love you.

My love, I can't believe this is happening. It seems like yesterday we were together and loving each other. The past five years of my life have been crazy, but definitely crazy beautiful. You have taught me so much about life, love and about myself. You pushed me when I wanted to quit, you held me up when I wanted to fall, and mostly you loved me even when I was difficult. Meeting you at the YMCA seemed like a coincidence but I truly believe it was fate, as did you. You were serious, I was a goofball, and together we became a couple of serious goofballs! I know things weren't easy, and life sometimes became too hard to handle, but I hope you were able to see that I was always right beside you. You were my motivation to keep going, my "light in the darkness", and especially my Batman. I'll never allow another man to make our living room a BatCave because you were a special one-of-a-kind, and nobody else in this world can measure up to that. Thank you for blessing me with your presence 5 years ago, I truly don't know who I'd be without you. After having you in my life and caring for you for so long, it's extremely hard for me to accept this reality, however, I know you're free of pain, and that's all I've ever wanted. My mission our whole relationship was to give you a reason to keep fighting, and to keep that beautiful smile on your face, and I think I did a pretty good job. Unfortunately my job here is done, but I know the Lord will take care of you and keep you safe. I love and miss you very much, and I always will. Please watch over me and tell my grandma and your brother I said "Hello". Rest In Peace my sweetheart❤️
