Cable was an incredible person. The few times we hung out have impacted me heavily and I will remember our encounters for a very long time. His humor, kindness, and love for others was truly extraordinary. He will be very missed and he was very loved by all he encountered. Sending prayers and warm regards to you all. Peace be with you.

Diane, John, Jennifer and siblings,
It was such a shock to hear the news. All I could think of was a cute little black haired boy hanging with Caiden. I remember when Cable and Grandma went to Our place in Florida with Traci and Caiden for a getaway trip.
There aren’t enough words to express how saddening this is. So, so sorry......

I did not know Cable very well, but what I did know was that he was a very intelligent, respectful young man (handsome too) and I do remember how he loved his younger siblings and how much they looked up to him. His presence will definitely be missed.
Rest in peace young man and may God's presence comfort the Butkus family. I love you all
