Dr. Robert Lynn Hatten, age 65, of Butler, Missouri passed away on February 25th, 2015. He was born on May 24th, 1949 in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Lillie and the late Dr. Robert G. Hatten. The small family moved to Butler when he was two weeks old. He was a graduate of Butler High School and the Cleveland Chiropractic College, serving patients across Bates County and beyond for over 39 years.
"Dr. Rob" loved to work with his hands. He was a healer to his patients, always putting others' needs first. That same spirit spread to his love of the local community. He served as Chairman of the Butler Planning Commission, President of the Butler Lions Club, and participated in numerous community and fraternal organizations including the Butler Masonic Lodge and Ararat Shrine, in addition to serving state and national chiropractic boards.
His favorite times were spent with family. On his days off he could be found outdoors golfing, fishing, and working on various DIY projects including building golf clubs. His favorite place was out at "the farm," working around and fixing up the cottage, and checking his traps to see if he caught the latest pesky otter burrowing in the earthen dam at the pond.
Rob is survived by his mother, Lillie; his wife of 25 years, Sally Hatten; four children: Elisabeth Jump, Robert Christopher Hatten and wife Ali, Alex Ruthmann and wife Anne, and Nicholas Ruthmann; three grandchildren: Shelby, Seraphim, and Amelia; sisters Marianna Hatten, Martha Bledsoe and husband Larry; brother-in-law Steve Brown; niece Abrielle Flavin and husband Mike, and nephew Tyler Thornton.
He is loved and missed by his family, many friends, patients, and the community he served.
