Terry Butler is an American musician who is currently the bassist for the death metal bands Obituary and Inhuman Condition. He was also a member of Six Feet Under, Massacre, and Death.
He is married with three children, and is brother-in-law of former Six Feet Under bandmate Greg Gall. On May 7, 2019,[1] Butler's then 27-year-old daughter, Jona Wright, died in a single-vehicle car accident after her car came off the road and was overturned multiple times, also leaving Butler's two grandsons, ages 6 and 10 at the time, who were also in the vehicle, with minor injuries.[1]

Though Butler is also credited on Death's 1988 release Leprosy, he did not play on the album.[2] The bass was instead performed by sole constant member Chuck Schuldiner, with Butler joining the band after the album was completed; though Schuldiner defended Butler's inclusion on the album's credits, stating "Terry contributed to the songwriting as well".[3]
