The button is a crazy 92.31% VP$IP (50+ hands played). If he's got any miracle cards he could possibly get, he's going to call you down.

Given all that, did I play this properly?

Depends on a lot of things.

Does he call you with nothing on the river?
Will he bet with nothing if he is checked to?
Will he bet with a weak hand if checked to?

You probably have the best hand going in so a raise preflop is good. The flop bet may or may not be good depending on how he plays, same with the turn. River bet is good.

If he will check behind me on the turn with a weak hand I check. No point in trying to make a callingstation fold.

agreed, i'll check the turn here IF the player isn't a LAG.

If the player is a river bluffer, check-raising the river is an option, check-calling is pretty good.

Leading out curtails those options though.
