Clarence Hayward "Bud" Bowden Sr.

Bud was a very giving person - to the point of literally taking the coat off his back to give to a person he felt more in need of it. He truly enjoyed his special gift and ear for music and willingly shared it for others to enjoy as well. We will miss that twinkle in his eye and that little grin as he told one of his many jokes. His great love for his children and grandchildren (the apples of his eye) and above all the special love and bond he and Diane had were special blessings and examples...

Uncle Bud was such a blessing and we loved his sense of humor. We loved when he kidded around with us. Which he did a lot! We will also miss his wonderful organ playing.

We remember our first plane ride, we visited Aunt Diane and Uncle Bud's house and the whole family went to Six Flags amusement park.Uncle Bud always made us laugh,he'll be missed by all of us.

Uncle Bud will be greatly missed. He was always warm and loving and had such a cheerful outlook on life.

Uncle "Bud" was a great guy! I'll never forget the times I spent with him while growing up and how much fun he created for all of us. He had a great spirit, loved without limitation, and lived life with an eternal perspective.

Bud was a very special brother-in-law and will be remembered with love always...

We will always remember our camping trips in Florida and Texas and all the places we went especially the eating out. We will miss you very much you were a great brother in law.
