TO MY WONDERFUL AND CHARMING FRIEND!!!!!!!!! / Vikki Perkins (Friend) First I just want to say that I am sorry to Budds' family for their lost of a wonderful and loving person!!! I met Bud in high school and he was a very funny and he was just a star to everyone around him. I never knew a person that could own a room as soon as they walked in like he did. Of course anybody and everybody knew who he was and he loved that.
One of my favorite memories of Him was everytime we were in the lunch room he would go around to just about every table and ask people for money so he could eat lunch and people would give him money even tough they knew he had money. It always made me laugh to think that he was that charming that people would give him their last dollar.
But then he had to change to a different high school and I never got to see him much after that. Even though sometimes me and my other friends would see him driving around on the hilltop but not as often as we would have liked. Then one day a get a phone call from a friend of mine and Budd they had me on 3 way calling to surpise and that's when learned that he lived in the same area as I did. We were planning on getting together just to catch up on old times but we never got the chance because 2 weeks after that wonderful phone call I got another phone call that I wish would have never happened because on that day I learned that I lost a wonderful and charming person that can never be replaced by anyone.
Budd you were a wonderful person to have in my life and I just want you to know that I will miss you more than you know!!
Just keep being that STAR YOU ALWAYS WERE AND KEEP GIVING ALL THAT KNOW LOVE FROM ABOVE!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for allowing me to leave him a message that I know his reading!!!!
Gosh were do I start? I have to give it up for Mrs.Pat I mean this is wonderful. You are an amazing(lets not for get)STRONG woman! There are so many memories in those pictures. Winnie is very lucky to have you as a mother. As well as having Big Budd for his "POPS" and Trisha and B for his sisters. Thank you Mrs.Pat for doing this. I have been on here on and off all day. I cant believe how much Devon and Daris and Brannon and Blayre has grown. Its gonna be great to click a couple buttons and take a trip down memory lane. When ever you want. The music just ties it all in together. It is just WONDERFUL. And very refreshing.
Budd I am so HAPPY that I was one of the many lucky people to have known you. I am curious to know if you had the ability to make everyone feel as special as you made me feel. I dont care if we were at the bar with 100 of your associates, You made me feel like there was nobody but Me and You. Even while you were kicking butt on the pool table. So much time has passed. Life will pass you right by. I was not even old enough to drink going to those bars.Half-Time, Doubles cant forget about the Mirage that is where you took me when we first met. Jolynn was so happy she had been trying to get me in there for weeks. You just walked me in like it was nothing. Jolynn has a daughter now and lives in Cinncinatti with her man. Yeah she settled down. I couldent believe it either. I have 2 boys Brandon who will turn 3 Oct 2 and Chance who will turn 1 Aug 4. Chuckie just purposed to me so I am going to plan a wedding. I hope you already knew all that though. I wish you were here. I MISS THE BLANK OUT OF YA! I hope You are happy for me. Chuckie has been great threw everything. He is a good guy. You had a big impact on him. He talks about You often. Sometimes I think that I am going to see you. Just run into you somewhere.(WISHFULL THINKING) I like to pretend that we have just lost contact with one another. Everyone has a way to deal with things and that is my way. When I come back to reality the black rain cloud comes back out and I am filled with SO many emotions. I am sure there are many others who feel the same. Time does ease the pain for some but not for all. It is so amazing on what an impact one person can have on your life. Everywhere you go you have flashbacks any song you listen to I dont care if I only heard the song one time I remember it because I heard it with You. I am forever thinking WHAT IF this WHAT IF that. I talk to you all the time so I am sure you know that already. I know you are out there watching out for all of us. I just wish you were here doing it. I will see you again. I will see you in HEAVEN where there are no guns and no BAD people. Where the pearly white gates and the streets of gold are. Justice will preveil.
"I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
FINGERPRINTS/ Mom (mother)
Your fingerprints are on my heart each time I held your little hand, you touched me. Each time I heard you speak, you taught me.
You taught me about love. You taught me about caring. You taught me about courage. You taught me about faith. You taight me about happiness. You taught me about sorrow. You brought me closer to my loved ones. You brought me closer to myself.
In the 22 years I cared for you, my, how life changed, never to be the same again. Because of you I will somehow be stronger. Because of you, I will be more prepared for life. All this from tiny fingerprints that touched my heart. Because of this YOU will live forever in my soul, never to be forgotten. I will always love you. YOU are my child.

my forever friend / Annie Fowler (friend) Budd and I had been friends since we were 13. He was one of my first boyfriends and our friendship continued to grow as time went on. I cherish all the memories we had together like going to Cedar Point with his family and riding around town for hours on his motorcycle. I remember him trying to teach me how to ride it and his mom yelling at him for it. I would go visit with him often and I still do once a month. I tell him whats going on in my life and how I wish he was here to help me with my problems. One thing that still stands out is how good he smells. He used to visit my mom when I was not home and she still says he was the best smelling man ever. I loved him very much and I miss him. I know one day we will meet again. Thanks for all you have given to me, happy memories of you always!
To My Uncle / Devin Martinez (Nephew)
I will always remember you for all the good times we shared together- well Good Bye Old boy.Leave them angel girls ALONE. PEACE
I never knew...... / January Rees-Tesi (Friend) I just saw in the paper today that Budd passed away 8 years ago... I haven't seen him since early high school but spent wonderful years with him @ Mohawk. He always could make you smile and made you feel special. I was heartbroken to see that he is gone I too lost a child- he would be 13. My son passed away @ 9 in a car accident it somewhat comforts me to know that another great person is with my son. I know that nothing I say can lessen the hurt but just know I feel your pain each and every day. And now I will keep Budd in my heart along with my son Dominic. Sorry.......

There is hardly a day that goes by that you don't cross my mind. Even after all these years me starting a family and having a husband (and he's a good one). You'll never understand what you did to me and how much you'll always mean to me. I miss you so much. It's not really any easier it's just that the days are more hectic. There always seems to be a song or a place that makes me think of you immediately. Our thing was music (and drinking) and that's still my way of dealing with what happened to you (music not drinking..lol). I miss you and I will love you always and forever!
Everyday is a lifetime without you hard to get through since you’ve gone So I do the only thing I know how to to get by I’m living for the night
I’ve drawn all the curtains in this old house To keep the sun out and off of my face Friends stop by to check - in ‘cause I’ve checked out I tell them I’m fine I’m just living for the night
Hell I can’t hide the tears I cry the pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I’m living for the night
I’m a whole lot easier to talk to when I’ve had a few I settled down The goose kills the woman you’ve turned me into And I come alive I’m living for the night
Hell I can’t hide the tears I cry the pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I’m living for the night I’m living for the night
Everyday is a lifetime without you!!!

just wanted to say hey / Vikki Perkins (friend)
Hey Hey what's up Budd it has been a long time but not a day has gone by without you on my mind. So I just wanted to say hi and that I still miss you sooooooo very much and even though i don't get to stop by here very much i still hold you in my heart and in my prayers. So i just got done reading some of the other tributes and i am trying to hold back the tears and just smile cuz you were so IMPORTANT that it is very crazy how all of us feel for you and will for many, many years. But we can't help it cuz you meant so much to all of us! I should say that you still mean alot to us but you probably already knew that. Budd you need to make sure that your star is still burning strong enough for all to see. I hope that your family is doing good. I just found out that i have a niece and she is beautiful and i can't believe that my brother mike was able to make something so beautiful sike just kidding but u know my brother kind of crazy right? But she has somewhat changed is life he still needs to grow up a little bit more and you know what mean by that.
Well Budd that's all I got for now I hope that it won't be so long next time. I promise i will try to come talk with you more.
Just keep ya head up and keep smiling down on us!!!
AND JUST KNOW THAT WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YA WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Til next time my friend I LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO KNEW....... / Melinda Ooten My dearest Budd,
I am writing you today to let you know how much I miss and love you. I think about you all the time. I guess I will probley always wonder "what if". I watched a movie last week and it was about having just one more day to spend with a loved one. I know alot of us would give anything for that chance with you. I have not cryed that hard in a long time. All I could think about was how I would spend it with you. (Tell my Grandma i'm sorry) I wrote down the lyrics to my new favorite song that makes me think about you. The bold letters say it all. I miss you so sooo much! Until we meet again Sexyman, I'll keep you locked in my heart! XOXO
You took my hand You showed me how You promised me you'd be around Uh huh That's right I took your words And I believed In everything You said to me Yeah huh That's right
If someone said six years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out Cause they're all wrong I know better Cause you said forever And ever Who knew
Remember when we were such fools And so convinced and just too cool Oh no No no I wish I could touch you again I wish I could still call you friend I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now 'fore they're long gone I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong They knew better Still you said forever And ever Who knew
Yeah yeah I'll keep you locked in my head Until we meet again Until we Until we meet again And I won't forget you my friend What happened
If someone said six years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out Cause they're all wrong and That last kiss I'll cherish Until we meet again And time makes It harder I wish I could remember But I keep Your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling Who knew My darling My darling Who knew My darling I miss you My darling Who knew Who knew
