Bud’s early years were spent in Germany and Pinehurst, Idaho; he then moved to Ketchikan, Alaska but returned to Idaho to live with his Aunt Patti Hei and family until his graduation in 1995 from Kellogg High School. After graduation he moved back to Ketchikan to work for the LP Pulp Mill until its closure, where at that time he moved to Nevada and worked as a miner, as well as, in Montana.

Bud was the life of the party; you could find him joking and playing pranks on family members and those he knew; he had an infectious laugh. Bud touched all of our lives and though he is gone he will never be forgotten by his beloved family and friends.
