Gregory Gordon Charles Budd
As published in the July 1, 2024 World-Spectator
It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of Gregory Gordon Charles Budd. Greg passed away on May 19, 2024 at the age of 43.
Greg spent his youth in Lethbridge and Red Deer, Alberta, but his family roots belong on a farm near Olds, Alberta. The final 10 years of his life were spent living in Saskatchewan.
Moosomin Lake became home to him in 2021. Greg enjoyed his ‘Lake Life’—living at the lake fulfilled his easy-going nature, his adoration for good company, and his love for perfecting a smoked brisket.
Greg was predeceased by his grandparents Gertrude and Albert Budd.
Greg is survived by his mother Anita Budd; Aunt Wanda and Uncle Dave Okamura; Aunt Carol and Uncle Wesley Budd; and cousin Elizabeth Wilkie and her children Opsalh and Grenley.
Greg leaves a lifetime of friends and family to celebrate his life. He will forever be missed by his Saskatchewan family Rooen, Kobielle, Joni, Mark, Wanda, Candace, Brad, Cooper, Beau, Corrie-Lynn, Jeff, Easton and Nash.
A Happy Hour was held on June 7 at the cabin at Moosomin Lake, Saskatchewan, to celebrate Greg’s life. Those who attended brought a golf ball and a good story.
A Celebration of Greg’s Life will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm in the Pidherney Event Centre, 4725 - 43 Street, Red Deer, Alberta.
Donations may be made in Greg’s memory to the Moosomin Senior Badgers Baseball Team by e-transfer to moosominbadgersbaseball@gmail.com, the Pipestone Hills Golf Course at the Town of Moosomin Office, Red Deer Minor Baseball at 3310 - 55th Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta or a charity of your choice.
