Leroy Alvin ‘Bud' Owsley, 82, of Hagerman, passed away Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011 at his home.
Born on February 25, 1929 in Emmett, Idaho to Alvin Edgar Owsley and Neva Kiser Owsley. He was the oldest of three children. He attended school at Bliss and Hagerman and in 1947 he graduated from Hagerman. Bud entered the Army in 1950 and during that time he served his country in the Korean conflict. There he made lifelong friends which include Swede Swenson and Don West, both of Wisconsin.
On October 4, 1953 he married Reva Davis of Carey. They were blessed with five children. Bud logged in the sawmill at Redrock Canyon in the Soldier Mountains. He drove truck for Hulme Produce for thirteen years and then worked for Faulkner Farms of Gooding as a mechanic. Bud began his career working for the Idaho State Highway Department and retired in 1994 after 22 years of service.
Bud's love for his country was reflected in his continuing involvement with the American Legion and his community. Some of Bud's fondest memories were traveling with Reva throughout the state during her term as President of the Idaho State Legion Auxiliary.
Bud enjoyed being with his family especially when it included riding horses, fishing, hunting, camping or cutting firewood. Just last year he took a fly tying class from CSI with his grandsons, Thomas and Johnathon. Some of his most memorable experiences included a centennial wagon train trip from Kuna to Hailey in 1990 with his lifelong friend, Bob Carrico; trips to Alaska with family and friends, attending military reunions in Wisconsin, and his annual elk hunt. The last few years his mornings included a trip to the Snake River Grill where he especially enjoyed the company and most often a sausage sandwich.
Bud is preceded in death by: his parents; his wife; his daughter, Diane; his sons, Mark and Doyle; two grandchildren; and his brother, Ray ‘Buster'.
He is survived by: his two sons, Mike (Katie) and Wes (Vickie), all from Hagerman; and by his twelve grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren.
A viewing will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 pm on Monday, November 7, 2011 at Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel; and also on Tuesday from 10:00 am until service time at the church.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 11:00 am at the Hagerman LDS church. Internment with military honors will be at the Hagerman Cemetery following the funeral service.
