Devout Mormon couple Tony and Katherine Butterfield were the epitome of unconditional love – devoted to each other and their children, and dedicated to their religious faith. And while they worked hard for their family, they also made sure there was plenty of fun along the way.
Tony, 31, and Katherine, 30, were a shining example of making the most of every day and people aspired to the life they had carved out for themselves.
They lived in a suburban home in West Jordan, Utah, with their three children, aged four, two and six months.
They met after returning from serving on Latter-day Saints missions, where they were assigned to spread the word of their faith, and had soon married and started their family.
The couple had a successful garden landscaping business and renovated properties. Tony was an expert craftsman and Katherine helped out running the company.
Tony had earned the nickname “T-money” because he was always working hard and saving money to support his loved ones. And he’d already got his children doing little chores for money to teach them good values.
But it wasn’t all work and no play for Tony, who was known for his goofy ways and rarely heard to raise his voice.
Katherine, who had bright blue eyes and a huge smile, also brought happiness wherever she went. She would dance, sing and make sure her children were always busy making memories.
The couple were famed for hosting social events ranging from games nights to Halloween parties.
