He is married with three children[citation needed], and is brother-in-law of former Six Feet Under bandmate Greg Gall.[citation needed] On May 7, 2019,[1] Butler's then 27-year-old daughter, Jona Wright, died in a single-vehicle car accident after her car came off the road and was overturned multiple times, also leaving Butler's two grandsons, ages 6 and 10 at the time, who were also in the vehicle, with minor injuries.[1]
