Mr. Dyer, 76, of Elmer, entered eternal rest on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, in his residence surrounded by his loving family.
He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. An avid fisherman, he faithfully took his aluminum boat out on Saturday mornings to Saline Lake, gliding across the water with his trusty wooden paddle. Bud had a special love for children, and it was his oldest granddaughter who first gave him the nickname "Bud," a name that quickly caught on with the entire family. He took great pride in teaching his youngest granddaughter, Alexis, how to drive along the back roads, a memory she'll always cherish. Known for his motto, "early to bed, early to rise," Bud spent his life working hard as a skilled carpenter, able to build just about anything he set his mind to. He also spent part of his life logging timber in the woods, where his strong work ethic and craftsmanship were always evident. Bud and his beloved wife, Judy, shared many joys together, from trips to the casino to cheering on their favorite WWF wrestling matches. And as anyone who knew him would say, Bud was truly made for the water, a belief made even stronger by his famously webbed toes. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Levy and Mary Dyer; one son, Levy Lee Dyer, Jr.; two brothers, Donald Dyer and Bill Dyer; and two sisters, Peggy Hale and Wanda Cole.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife of fifty-four and a half years, Judy Dyer of Elmer; two granddaughters, Lauren Dyer of Otis, and Alexis Dyer of Otis; one daughter-in-law, Sandra Dyer of Otis; two bonus grandsons, Tyler Farmer and Lane Farmer; three brothers, Ronnie Dyer of Deville, Terry Jo Dyer of Deville, and Mike Dyer of Kolin; one sister, Dana Bridges of Georgia; and one sister-in-law, Sharon Dyer of Deville.
A time of visitation will be held in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Hineston, on Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. until time of service.
Honored to serve as pallbearers are: Tyler Farmer, Lane Farmer, Sam Clark, Ken Goleman, Jeffery Cook, and Tracy Lachney. Honorary pallbearer will be Eric Tolbert.
