Clifford Vernon Budd

Clifford Vernon Budd died peacefully after a long illness on March 11, 2025.

Cliff was born on July 14, 1933 in Rimbey, Alberta to Irvin and Alice Budd. Cliff was a jack of all trades and able to put his hand to anything.   He spent most of his life as a truck driver including a number of years running his own delivery business with Marlene. Marlene and Cliff drove school buses for Hobbema Transport for a number of years which they both loved.  Cliff will be remembered for his sense of humour and his love for his family.   

He was predeceased by his wife Marlene; his siblings Ralph, Russ, Martin, Margaret Metzker, and Ellen Christiansen; his two daughters Tracy Peters and Laurel Noble; his grandchildren  Jerry Jackson,  Gary Noble, Heather Noble, and Lee-Anne Peters;  and his great-grandson Caiden Melcosky-Peters.

Cliff is survived by his brother Gordon Budd; his son Bob Budd (Sheila) and grandchildren Angela, Bobby Joe, and Christopher; his daughter Rita Jackson (John) and grandchildren Dawn, Juanita, and Sabrina; his daughter Terrill Budd; his son Stephen Budd (Kelly), grandson Todd and great-granddaughter Quinn, and grandchildren Brooklyn and Jayce; his daughter Michelle Nielsen (Kevin), granddaughter Crystal (James) Sehlstrom and great-grandchildren Ashton, Connor, Harper, and Jamie, grandson Cody Knoll (Lori) and great-grandchild Kashlynn; and granddaughter Kelsie Knoll (Izaiah); granddaughter Lisa Schmidt (Rob); and grandsons Ryan Peters and Scott Noble.
