Robert LeRoy Parker, famously known as Butch Cassidy, embarked on his final journey on November 7, 1908, in the picturesque landscape of San Vicente, Bolivia. Hailing from Beaver, Utah, born in the year 1866, Butch remains an enduring icon—a legendary figure who embodied the spirit of the Wild West, an outlaw with principles that set him apart.

With an undeniable charisma and a strategic mind, Butch founded the notorious Wild Bunch, masterminding some of the most audacious bank and train heists of the late 19th century. Though a man pursued, he captivated many with his affable nature, keen sense of humor, and unwavering loyalty to those by his side. His adventures spanned the broad expanse of the American frontier and ventured all the way to the distant realms of South America, where history seemed to lose his trail—until now.

Whether viewed through the lens of a lawbreaker or celebrated as a folk hero, Butch Cassidy stands as a powerful emblem of rebellion, freedom, and the untamed essence of the West. His captivating story has been immortalized in literature and cinema, inspiring countless souls who dare to dream of forging their own paths and riding into the sunset on their terms.

He leaves behind a legacy rich with myth and legend, prompting the eternal question: Did he ever truly find his end?

A private memorial service will be held to honor the man, the myth, and the enduring legacy of Butch Cassidy. In lieu of floral tributes, we invite all to pause, raise a glass, share a captivating tale, and remember that the essence of the West forever lives on.
