I had the great privilege to meet Bud some years ago while on a personal journey.   I remember noticing a gentle spirit that seemed to hover about Bud.   Bud was kind, polite, calm , and self-assured.  I did not know for a few years that we were even related.   Then one day through unusual circumstances we realized that our mothers were first cousins and I had the great pleasure of reconnecting with various family members.   I am forever grateful that I got to meet Bud and share a brief period of time with him.   As I looked through the pictures that the Marchant family has shared I see the love in every single picture that this family has for each other.   This love will carry each family member through the days ahead as another star shines brightly in the heavens tonight with the name of Bud.


Love and Prayers,


Whitney Burgess, second cousin







Rest In Peace, Bud. I’ll always remember how dry and witty and irreverent your sense of humor was.  How you’d zing in with a one liner and all the grown ups would laugh and tsk tsk all at the same time.  But my favorite memories of you are how sweet you always were with us little cousins. I appreciated that especially as a growing tween and teen. Thank you for always making a point to make us feel included and special. The Bible says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”  I’m praying this prayer over your mom and Kathy and Stephanie and your boys. God promised that comfort for those of us left behind. As for you, Bud, I’m glad you are finally walking in your victory body, brand new. I love you and i’ll miss you, Cousin!

There is a time in life, it can have a magic,..that time. You know your never gonna have a time like that again. And so it was with me and Bud. For young Men there is always someone just a bit older than you,..larger than life, someone who is the epitome of who you want to be. Bud was that to me. He was cooler than cool. I will always cherish long summer days, fireworks, swimming, and staying up all night just so we could say we stayed up all night. I miss Bud for the most simplistic and selfish reasons, because I am less without him here. I love you Bud.

Bud and I were on opposite ends of the political spectrum and we exchanged many hilarious political jabs.  some drove me crazy!  But Bud was the first person who called to see if his Aunt Nell was safe after the bombing of the Federal Building in Okc.  I was safe as our agency had just moved.   I loved Bud he was always up to something and he stayed connected to me and Wyley.

My favorite memories of my first nephew , Bud, were how he was surrounded by love, love from his mom and dad for whom he was the apple of their eye, his grandparents, his two little sisters who doted on him all of his life. He had a fine Christian upbringing and was saved. He had a successful career after graduating from high school and nursing college, he loved, married, raised two fine sons. He was always there for his mother after his dad’s passing, a devoted son.
