He was the third son born of Bernice (Bunny) and Harold Draine, Sr. in Belle Fourche, SD. Gary was better known to everyone as Butch, a name he acquired from his dad when he was born. Older brother Harold asked what his new little brother’s name was when he was told he had a brother and Harold just said, “Butch”…and it stuck He attended school at Hammond for his elementary education. He entered Powder River District High School for his junior high and high school years in Broadus, MT and graduated in 1973. Following graduation, he attended college at Eastern College in Billings. When he was younger, he worked in the summer for Vardell’s combining crews and at the Truck Stop for Joe McDowell. Butch preferred the city lifestyle rather than the ranch and stayed in the Billings area, but he loved coming back to the ranch for holidays and visits with the family. While in the Billings area, he worked for Barry O’Leary as a truck driver and the Shepherd school district in maintenance. Butch was married to Terry Brandon in about 1982 and they later divorced. He had a son, Corie Allen, with his second wife, Pam Nelson in December 1991. Butch had a love for animals. Three of his favorites were a Spider monkey “Peanut”, a white cockatiel and a dog named Tyler. One thing to be noted about Butch was his love of people, meeting them and visiting with them and learning new things. He was known for his sense of humor, storytelling and friendliness. He also enjoyed fishing, camping and travelling. One trip that was a highlight to him was a trip to Branson, MO with his parents and Pam. He took classes in photography, Auctioneering and square dance calling. One of his favorite songs to call was to the tune of “Seminole Wind”…and he was good at it. Although Gary had many issues that plagued him in his recent years, he always had a good heart and soul. Rest in Peace. Gary leaves behind, two brothers: Harold, Jr. (Sacha) Draine of Hammond, MT; Larry (Dawn) of Boyes, MT; his son, Corie of Billings, MT; one niece (Stacie Ostendorf) and three nephews (Colt Draine, Tim Draine and James Draine), three great nieces and three great nephews; and long-time special friend, Dixie Green of Billings. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold, Sr. and Bernice (Bunny) Draine.
