Bud, I met you through my son Cody. I will never forget golfing with you and Bill Scott, you both made it so fun. You supported Cody in his scrambles and always had a smile on your face, and a bear hug to share. Thank you for your friendship and wonderful memories. May you rest in heaven with your sweetheart
From Kathy Foster :
I met Bud when I married Floyd Southwick. After Floyd passed away I spent many Wednesdays having dinner with Bud and Stephanie and their friends who I know will miss him very much. Bud will now be in heaven with Stephanie.
From Cindy povlsen:
I meet both Bud and Stephany when they bought their home in Heyburn. Bud was such a good friend when my husband passed. He had lost Stephany and knew exactly how I felt. What a blessing he was to so many!
From Eric Spaulding:
Bud and I bonded through our love of golf. Since then he was a great friend, he was a very good natured and generous man. I’ll always remember time spent hanging out with Bud and Steph, especially during fireworks on the 4th at their house on the river. Me and my brother built a bottle rocket rack that didn’t quite go as planned and set rockets everywhere including hitting his house. His response to when I went to apologize over the errant bottle rockets was laughing and claiming that that was great and that we’d have to do it again. I’m going to miss them.

From Idaho State Veterans Cemetery Blackfoot:
Rest in peace with honor and gratitude for your service.
From Cody Sibbett:
Bud, I met you while I worked at the Burley golf course and quickly became friends with you and your sidekick Bill. All three of us were veterans and we began the Freedom Isn't Free golf scramble together and donated nearly 50K to a local non-profit organization that took Veterans on backcountry experiences in Idaho. I praise God for the memories we shared. You were a great man and a great friend.
From Nichole:
Your love and humor will forever hold a special place in my heart. The world has lost a true gem. You will be deeply missed, but I find comfort in knowing you're now with your beloved Steph, free from pain. Love you always, Bud.
