As a young man in the early 1960′s Merlin “Earl” Butler had visions of becoming an entrepenuer and providing a better life style for his family. Through his vision, hard work and perserverance he worked through ranks to become one of the top masons in the state of Mississippi. Stories about him laying Brick and Block are Legendary. In 1980 he formed Butler Masonry fulfilling the Vision he dreamed of. Although faced with hardships that are endured by first generation business owners, Earl instilled in his sons Kevin and Merrick the skills of the trade from the business side to the performance side and also the willingness to stay dedicated, determined and disciplined in challenging economic conditions. These principles that Earl instilled in the young men have guided them to both personal and business success. In 2006 Kevin and Merrick reincorporated Butler Masonry.
