Bud was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 27, 1938. He was the second son of Edward K. Stackler and Barbara K. Stackler. When he was young, Bud's family moved to Highland Park, Illinois. He enjoyed his youth with friends and his older brother Ron and graduated from Highland Park High School.

Bud served in the Army at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri and in the Army Reserve afterward, then returned to Colorado State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in wildlife biology in 1967.
He was employed by the Arizona Department of Game and Fish, where he served for 3 years, then took a position with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, where he worked until his retirement in 1990.
He married Jamene Pennington that year, and they made their home in San Luis Obispo, California, for 22 years, then moved to Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
Bud was an avid motorcycle guy. After retirement, he earned his pilot's license and enjoyed flying his Cessna 182 all around the West.
Bud is survived by his wife Jamene; daughter Cindy (Gerry) Gray; sons Ed (Sarah) and Brad; stepdaughters Holly (Scott) Savage and Elizabeth (Roland) Long; five grandchildren, five step-grandchildren; and his brother Ron (Sandy). He was preceded in death by his parents and two stepsons, Patrick and Aaron.

I was friends with Buddy from 2nd grade when he came to Highland Park, all thru high school. He was charismatic, a gentle giant with an unusual sense of fairness. He showed natural leadership in the complex social interactions of our class, and was extremely well-liked. Buddy was always an outdoors kind of guy, loved guns, and his career seems like a perfect fit.
I send my condolences to all his family and close friends.

My brothers and I had the luxury of mowing Bud's lawn when he was out of town when he lived next to us in Burley those years. His stories were always interesting and fun to listen to and he was always very generous when he paid us for the mowings!
Our condolences to his family at this time.
