Drab Larry Wayne “Butch” Drab was born on July 5, 1963, and passed away on Dec. 17, 2025, after a short battle with cancer.

He began his career with the telephone company in his teens where he stayed for over 40 years. He was also a volunteer for the La Grange Fire Department.

Butch enjoyed the simple life – hunting, fishing, and the Super Bowl parties at the Michalka’s. He loved cooking his chicken and dumplings and his famous banana pudding. If you couldn’t find him, he was most likely at Adamcik’s service station in his famous attire – Camo, jeans, and a Lone Star Light in hand.

He will be remembered for living a simple life and always helping others. He will be greatly missed.

Butch is survived by his wife, Michelle Drab with whom he helped raise five children: Brandy Drab,Amanda Whited (Justin), Candice Drab, Errin Schneider (Josh), Christopher Morales. His beloved grandchildren Sarah, Christopher, Barrett, John, Dusti, Avery, Kynsley, Koralyn, Samuel and Conway.
