Danny Lee "Bud" Dudley
1950 - 2021
Early Life: Bud was born February 3, 1950, to Harold and Jennie Dudley. He was raised with three brothers, Dennis, Don, Duke, and one sister, Diane. He graduated from Evanston High School and went to Ricks College on a football scholarship.
Life's Work | Service | Interests: While at Ricks, Bud also worked on a dairy farm to help with his college expenses. In 1979, he met the love of his life, Judy Gray. They were married on January 4, 1980, in American Fork, Utah. They were sealed on January 9, 1981, in the Provo Utah Temple, and were blessed with two children, Melissa and Buck.
❦ Bud always said that joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the best decision he ever made. He served in many callings over the years, but his most favorite calling was working with the youth.
❦ Bud was a hard worker and never had a negative thought or word to say about anyone. He was always truly happy for everyone, no matter what. As he would say, "Don't judge them until you have walked a mile in their shoes", or "cut them some slack". He was a great example to his loved ones of how they all should live. Bud was a true cowboy, through and through. In addition to calf roping, he enjoyed training cutting horses. In his later years, he enjoyed teaching his grandkids the tricks of the trade and watching them rodeo. Nothing made him smile more than the grandkids. He loved and adored them all, more than they will ever know. He was the best husband, dad, grandpa, friend, son, and uncle.
❦ Never once during his sickness did he complain. He endured all of his trials with a positive attitude and strong desire to live for his family. He loved his family with all of his heart, and more. Danny Lee "Bud" Dudley, loving husband, father, grandpa, brother, son, and uncle passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving and adoring family, on July 14, 2021, after a long and courageous battle with leukemia. He was 71.
Family Message: "Our beloved husband, dad, and grandpa will be missed beyond words. A piece of our hearts are in heaven with him. We rejoice in the reunion he has had with loved ones and the reunion yet to come with all of us. We love you so much dad! We would like to give a special thanks to all of the doctors, nurses, and hospitals that helped our dad over the last five and a half years. Thank you Dr. Tantravahi of the Huntsman Cancer Institute for keeping Dad going so that he would be able to enjoy some quality of life."
Survived By: His wife, Judy; daughter, Melissa Scott (Todd); and son, Buck (Brittney); six grandchildren: Whitley, Houston, McKinlee, Karsen, Annie Kay, and Dax.
