May 15, 1959 – April 22, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Julius Butty, at Hamilton General Hospital Intensive Care Unit on April 22, 2021. The family extends its gratitude and appreciation to the 3rd floor South ICU doctors and nurses for their exceptional care. A huge thank you goes out to family and friends for their support and love during this difficult time.
Julius was born on May 15, 1959 in Hamilton, Ontario into a closely-knit Hungarian family. Julius was predeceased by his parents, Leslie (2001) and Anna (2005) and by his brother, John (Alexandra) in 2020.
He will be dearly missed by his beloved partner, Ruth, his sisters Eta (George) and Mary, and his brothers Leslie (Debbie) George (Eva) and Frank (Marg).
He was much-loved uncle to Anthony, (Claudia), Stephen and Nicholas, Brianna (James) Alicia (Peter) Alexis (Josh) Cierra (Matt), William, Andrew and Nick. He was Stepfather to Madi (Derek) and Jackie and Papa Julius to grandchildren, Kingston and Laughlin.
Julius was born and lived in Hamilton and received a P.Eng. (1983) and an M.B.A. (1991) from McMaster University. In 1988, he joined the staff of G.L. Tiley &Associates and never looked back. As Managing Director, he helped expand the company which now provides engineering services to mining and mining consultant companies in Canada, USA, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Julius was a man of many talents and interests. He relished the times he spent with his brother, George, racing their corvette at local racetracks and mountain biking Hamilton trails. Julius enjoyed international travel for business and pleasure and loved all the performing arts. He spent many hours with Jackie, helping with her horses and enjoyed pool time with Madi and grandchildren. If something was broken, you could always count on Julius to fix it. He was an amazing handyman – he could repair or maintain anything.
Julius was loved by all who knew him. His cheery smile, wit, twinkling eyes and love of gab enriched our lives – he will live on in our hearts, always.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, sympathy may be expressed through memorial donation to the Hamilton General Hospital 3rd floor south ICU and would be greatly appreciated. Please send a cheque payable to Eva Butty, Post Office Box 81176 Fiddlers Green, Ancaster ON L9G 4X2.
Our thoughts and prayers are with entire family during this very difficult and sad time.
Ruth the death of Julius will leave a heartache no one can heal, the LOVE you had will leave you with your Memories no one can steal.
Stay Strong our friend and know that we are here for you.

Please accept my sincerest condolences George, Frank, Ruth and the rest of the Butty family. Words are hard to come by to express our sadness brought by this loss. May Julius’s soul rest in peace.
It was very sad day for myself and a lot of my other colleagues when we learnt of Julius’s passing. In reminiscing and attempting to summarize a small nugget of his time with us I have to say it was a pleasure working with Julius for the last 18 years, he demonstrated commitment that leaded to an impactful life.
Words are never enough to convey attributes of an impactful person. However I will say that my experience working with him, allowed me to observe him being measured, thoughtful and deliberate in execution of his professional duties.
We will always incorporate some of his methods to being practical and personable while problem solving which is the nature of the Engineering work we did.
He will always be remembered by all of us. Thanks for sharing him with us.
He was really a great person as a friend and as a boss as well.
I will never forget his kindness and unselfishness. Always ready to help with a smile on his face and a joke.
Having known Julius is a real privilege.
Thank you for all you have taught to me.
Goodbye my friend.
