In Loving Memory of Thomas Butchart

This season, we honor the life and legacy of Thomas Butchart, a devoted father, mentor, and passionate supporter of local high school athletics. Tom’s greatest joy came from watching his son, Head Coach Ryan Butchart, lead both the Lafayette High School soccer programs, as well as cheering on his other son, Matthew Butchart, as he excelled and competed for Eureka High School soccer. His unwavering dedication to his family, his community, and the student-athletes he supported will forever be remembered.

In his memory, we have set up this GoFundMe donation to continue his legacy and support the programs that meant so much to him. Your generous contributions will help carry on his passion for high school athletics, ensuring that future generations of players have the same opportunities, mentorship, and sense of community that Tom so deeply cherished. Thank you for honoring his memory and supporting the programs he loved—let’s make him proud. Go Lancers!
