Charles "Butch" Wayne Nolen, 73, of Logan NM, passed away 1-1-2017 in Logan NM.

Memorial services will be held for Butch at the 1st Baptist Church in Logan, NM on Saturday January 14, 2017 at 1pm with Reverend Stephen Kulback officiating.

Butch was born in Clovis, NM to Elmer "Red" and Helen Nolen on 2-22-43. He was a 1961 graduate of Clovis High School. In 1962 Butch married the love of his life Prenetta "Netta" K. Peterson. Butch worked for his father as a young man at the family business Reds Boat Shop for several years; opening his own business Butch's Service Center in 1968 later called Butch's Marine; his shop opened in Clovis, moved to Carlsbad and then Capitan. In 2007 Butch and Netta moved to Logan, NM to retire; but he was always available to lend a hand with a boat or vehicle in need! Butch could always be found in his shop working on a project, or cruising on his trusty tractor!

As a youngster Butch was an avid boat racer. Hunting, fishing, camping, or being in the outdoors were some of Butch's passions. The hills and mountains are where Butch called church. Butch and Netta enjoyed traveling in their RV, visiting family, seeing new places and looking for "treasures".

Butch was preceded in death by his parents Elmer and Helen Nolen.

Butch is survived by his loving wife Netta Nolen, Son's Danny & Cindy Nolen of Carlsbad NM, David & Lori Nolen of Wimberley TX. Grandchildren Brenon & Becca Nolen, Steven & Heather Ellyson, Jerimiah & Lacey Fernandez, Kenna Nolen, Tanner Nolen and Kaylen Nolen. Great Grandchildren, Adalee Ellyson, Lilly & Ellie Nolen, and Hazel Fernandez. His sister Darlene & Tom Lee and their three children.
