Former England cricketer Roland Butcher’s wife passes away

London — It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that Roland Butcher, former Barbados, Middlesex, and England cricketer, announces the passing of his beloved wife, Cheryl Denise Butcher, in the United Kingdom.

Cheryl was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, whose warmth, strength, and unwavering love formed the foundation of her family. Roland and Cheryl shared an extraordinary life together, having been
married for 46 years and united in love and partnership for over 50 years.

She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory always: her children, Paul Butcher and Michelle Butcher; and her adored grandchildren, Leevon Butcher, Leighenna Butcher, and Chase Butcher.

Cheryl’s presence touched all who knew her. She will be remembered for her kindness, grace, and the deep care she showed to her family and community throughout her life.

Roland and the family ask for privacy during this difficult time as they grieve this profound loss and celebrate Cheryl’s life and legacy.

Further details regarding memorial arrangements will be shared in due course.
