Assistant Pastor Anthony Burch Holy Temple Cathedral 135 Stephney Lane Edgewater, MD 21037 My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less By Edward Mote My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus’ name CHORUS On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand When darkness hides His lovely face I rest on His unchanging grace In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil His oath. His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood When all around my soul gives way He then is all my hope and stay When He shall come with trumpet sound Oh may I then in Him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless to stand before the throne ~ Order of Service ~ Rev.

Turner, Sr. He was born on September 23, 1950. On February 8, 2022, he made the transition to be with his Heavenly Father. Butch received his education in the Anne Arundel County School System. He was employed with the Maryland Transportation Authority until his Illness. Butch was a man of many talents. He loved grilling and gardening. He was known to keep an immaculate yard. Instead of calling a contractor, landscaper, or mechanic, Butch would find creative ways to fix it himself. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Butch, knew he had a passion for working on automobiles. He would buy used vehicles and rebuild them to his own specifications. Butch met the love of his life Elaina Butler and proposed to her declaring “Lets grow old together” and they were joined in holy matrimony on January 1, 1995. They built a foundation and had been making memories ever since. This union was unbreakable as they were never far from each other’s side. Butch loved when he and Elaina would travel cross country to various county fairs and parks. He enjoyed the trips to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to visit his daughter and grandchildren. If his daughter had a problem with her car, Butch was known to jump in his truck and drive to South Carolina to fix it. He wanted to make sure she was safe on the road. Butch made it a point to be a great son and take care of his mom. He always made sure her grass was cut and her vehicles were in good working condition. He would go the extra mile in supplying her wood in preparation for the winter months. Butch was preceded in death by his father Harold C. Turner, Sr.; brothers Charles and Stanley Turner, Sr., and sisters Beverly Burton, Evelyn “Gurdy” Gulley and Peggy Turner Butch leaves to cherish his memories, devoted wife Elaina; son Larry “Boddie” Turner, Jr.; daughter Donnika Turner-Cook (David) ; grandchildren; Jaterra Gray, Jadah Spady, De’Wayne Spady, Jr., and Justice Spady; great grandson Temerous Gadsden; mother Bessie Turner; sisters Patricia Hall, Loretta Wells, Theresa Turner, Wyvette Galloway, brothers Harold C.
