Darrell L. "Butch" Maness, age 75 of Rogers, passed away on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at his home.

Truly a life to celebrate. He certainly made the most of the life he was given. He rebuilt hot rods, loved custom cars, played bass guitar in a Rock 'n Roll band since the sixties, loved outdoor sports- skiing, snowmobiling, ice-fishing, hunting, camping and boating. His talents were many, from oil painting and pinstriping to woodworking and building homes. Butch retired from the City of Anoka and built his dream home on Lake Scandi and spent many years there. In 2005 they built another dream home in Zimmerman. They had plans to downsize in 2016 and move to a townhome when his wife had a stroke…everything changed. His final project was getting the love of his life well again. He was happy with his life and all he had accomplished…"Been there, done that" rest now, you are loved by so many.

Butch is survived by his wife, Carol; son, Bill Maness; daughter, Lori (Mark) Schneider; grandchildren, Davin, Derek and Lillian Schneider, Ashley Swanson; great grandson, Jaxson Swanson; sister, Betty (Joe) Rhodes; and many other friends and family.
