In Loving Memory of Frank Butterfield
Atlanta, Georgia – July 9, 2025
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Frank Butterfield, who departed this life on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. His sudden loss has sent waves of sorrow throughout our team, our community, and the countless lives he touched over the years with his kindness, leadership, and unwavering integrity.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Frank was far more than just a coworker—he was a mentor, a steady presence, and a genuine friend. He brought light, warmth, and humor to every room he entered, whether in a professional meeting or over coffee with a colleague. His ability to listen deeply, speak thoughtfully, and act decisively earned him respect across all levels of our organization and beyond.
Professionally, Frank was an exceptional talent whose career was marked by excellence, innovation, and dedication. Whether he was leading a complex project, mentoring a younger team member, or navigating difficult decisions, Frank approached every task with precision and compassion. His leadership was not defined by titles but by the trust and admiration he earned through his actions.
But it was Frank’s humanity that made him unforgettable. He remembered birthdays, checked in when someone was having a hard time, and celebrated the wins of others with authentic joy. His generosity extended well beyond the workplace—he was a devoted community volunteer, a loving friend, and a proud advocate for the causes he held dear.
Frank had a unique way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued. He brought people together—uniting teams, bridging gaps, and reminding us all that work, at its best, is about connection and purpose.
As we begin to process this heartbreaking loss, we remember Frank not only for his contributions to our work but for the enduring spirit he brought into our lives. His legacy will continue to inspire us—to lead with kindness, to work with purpose, and to live with heart.
We extend our deepest condolences to Frank’s family, including his loved ones in Atlanta and beyond. Please know that your grief is shared by many who loved and respected Frank deeply. Plans for a memorial or celebration of life will be shared in the coming days, and we will ensure opportunities for those who knew him to gather, reflect, and honor his memory.
Until then, let us hold space for one another in this time of loss. Let us honor Frank’s memory by showing up for each other the way he always showed up for us.
