Henri Doriot III, known as “Butch” to many in his younger days, passed away suddenly at age 74, on Saturday, September 14, 2019. Henri was born March 28, 1945 in Bristol, Virginia to Henri and Margaret Doriot.

Henri had a Master’s of BA/Finance; and he served as comptroller for Nortel for most of his career. He and his son, Eric, established an automotive business over the last 16 years of his life.

Henri was truly one of a kind. A good-hearted soul to those who knew him well. His love and devotion to his kids and grandchildren were greater than any other element in his life.

His true passion was racing and cars. If you ever needed any advice, or if there was ever a great story to be told or remembered, it involved Henri.

Henri is survived by his daughter, Mary Margaret Dykes; son, Eric Larson Doriot; son-in-law John D. Dykes; daughter-in-law, LeAnn Doriot; grandchildren, Trevor Dykes, Ty Dykes, Ethan Doriot, Trenton Dykes, and Madeline Doriot; brothers, Philip Doriot, Pete Doriot; and Elizabeth Doriot.
He is preceded in death by his son, Henri Doriot IV; wife, Brenda Doriot; granddaughter Mackenzie Doriot; father, Henri Doriot II; mother Margaret Peters; and sister, Josephine Hawkins.

A celebration of Henri’s life will be held at Williams Funeral Directors, 1600 S. Garland Avenue from 6:00-9:00 Saturday, September 21, 2019.
