William "Butch" Edward Fearrington

William “Butch” Edward Fearrington, 76, passed away Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. He was born June 7, 1948, in Forsyth County to the late Eric and Mildred Vogler Fearrington. Mr. Fearrington was a member of New Philadelphia Moravian Church. Preceding him in death were two brothers, Eric and Richard Fearrington and a sister, Maryann Ragland. Surviving are his wife of 53 years, Cynthia Eastman Fearrington; son, Matt Fearrington (Lauren) of Boone, NC; daughter, Sarah Fearrington MacReynolds (Bob) of Lewisville; and two grandchildren, Ryan and Molly MacReynolds. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews. He was passionate about his family and a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His passing occurred while on a family beach vacation where he was surrounded by those closest to him. He also loved his dog, Pebbles, and she frequently accompanied him on his errands. In 1970, he graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and he was an avid Tarheel basketball fan. After graduating, he began his career at Integon, and he ultimately retired from Hanes Brands. He lived his life with a sense of gratitude and contentment, never wanting more than he had. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday, August 10, 2024, at New Philadelphia Moravian Church with Rt. Rev. Sam Gray officiating. A committal will follow at the church columbarium. A reception will be held for family and friends following the committal at the church. Because he had a heart for helping those in need, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, honorariums be made to the Cancer Benevolence fund at New Philadelphia (https://onrealm.org/NewPhiladelphia24828/-/form/give/now).
