Budd was born in Bismarck, North Dakota on December 20, 1936. He attended Clearbrook, Minnesota schools before moving to Eastern Montana.
Early in his work life, Budd worked in the oilfields of Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming before starting Budd’s Backhoe Service in Glendive, Montana. He operated this company in various capacities for many years. He also took his unique skill set on the road working for Northern Line Layers, Quanta, and most recently Crawford’s Construction of Baker, Montana. His passion for running heavy equipment spawned his favorite saying, “Find something you enjoy doing and it won’t seem like work.”
When Budd met the Lord 40 years ago, he took that relationship seriously as he walked with God the rest of his days. Budd lived his life reflecting his love for his Savior. He summarized his favorite scripture, Genesis 1:1 as, “In the beginning GOD… – If you don’t believe that, then you will not believe anything else you read in the Bible. “
Budd’s love for his family was equally important to him. He loved teaching them the joys of camping and fishing or how to be mischievous while playing a game of cards. Whatever the family endeavor, Budd made sure laughter was the key ingredient.
Budd is survived by: Jane (Goosen), his wife of 62 years; two daughters Nila (Craig) Ingram and Lila (Mike) Bolme; three grandsons Nick (Afton) Bolme, Michael (Ansley Sego) Bolme and Zachary Ingram; one granddaughter Grace (Chris) Traba; and one great granddaughter Evelyn Bolme.

Ron Dye says
Jane – Nila – Lyla (Peone) & spouses and kids, please accept my condolences on Budd’s passing. I may not have been around for that long, but in that time I knew what a great man he truly was. Budd and Jane and family treated me better than I probably deserved and for that I thank them all. Memories of helping Budd dig and haul ‘red rock’ (scorio) have and will last with me forever. May Budd rest in peace and the pain of your loss, lessen a little each passing day.

Jane and family, we shall always remember Bud’s loving, gentle, kind and generous spirit. I remember sitting in church and he would sing “This Little Froggy Went A Courtin. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved big bowls of icecream and good food. As a kid I remember watching him operate a backhoe and was amazed at how simple he made it look. We have not lost a friend he knew Jesus and we will meet again.
