A true love story and legacy came to a peaceful ending in 2024.
Bud Boyce Ashford of Fort Collins joined Heaven on November 18, 2024
Bud passed away holding his beloved wife's hand before God had called him home.
GODS GARDEN
God looked around his garden
And he found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and
Lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you was suffering
He knew you was in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well again
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "PEACE BE THINE"
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
Bud is survived by his daughters Tammy( Clay) price, and Debbie(rick) O'Brian; 10 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, sister Karren(Roger) Wiggins; and a large extended family
Bud is preceded in death by his parents and sister.
A private graveside service will be held for Bud and his sweet wife Helen she had joined Bud 5 days later. Helen and Bud will be going to the Fort Logan National cemetery, Denver, Colorado at a later date.
