Mr Butler, of Burydale, Stevenage, died after suffering a fatal stab wound during an incident in Bowcock Walk on July 13.
The 32-year-old was known to many for his love of music and DJ-ing skills, and as a devoted father to his five-year-old daughter Georgia.
*A date for the trial of Dwayne Parchment has not yet been set.
