Butch was born on July 21, 1942, in Carroll, Iowa to Jack Niehaus and Ardella (Kasperbauer) Niehaus. He graduated in 1959 from Kuemper Catholic School in Carroll. Butch had various jobs which included working at the Templeton Feed Store with his father to convenient stores and car dealerships. He was a proud business owner of both B&B Detailing as well as the Family Clothing Center which he founded with his wife Betty. Butch eventually retired from the Clarinda, Iowa school system.
Butch loved collecting things. He was very proud of his ever-growing coin collection and his NASCAR memorabilia. He was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes fan, when they appeared on television, they were the only team he would watch and not change the channel to check on the NASCAR races during commercial breaks.
