BEYONCE’S uncle has died at the age of 77.
Air Force veteran Rowland Martin Buyince – known as Butch – passed away over the weekend.
The star’s mom Tina Knowles took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to Butch.
In a post shared with her 4.1million followers, she said: “My Beautiful big brother Butch went to be with God this weekend. I will miss him so much! He was a career Air Force man.
“He loved riding motorcycles, was a black belt in karate and had the most beautiful green eyes and good looks.
“He was a great story teller.
“He had an incredible wife Jeanette and devoted daughter Dana, two beautiful grandchildren Yvette and Roland.
“He was greatly loved. Sail on Butch.”
Tina’s heartbreak comes just days after she joined superstar daughter Beyonce at the Luar fashion show in New York on February 13.
The pair sat front row as Texas Hold ‘Em singer Beyonce donned a cowboy hat and oversized sunglasses.
They were there to support her sister Solange’s model son, Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr., 19.
