It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, brother, husband and friend Ross Budden, aged 67 years.
To everyone that was fortunate enough to know Ross, knew he truly lived his life to the fullest. Every moment was spent wisely. He lived vigorously and vicariously, no matter what obstacles stood in his way. He was the centre of attention in any room, the life of the party, and always had a smile to give you. This is how we will remember Ross, a man that never stayed still; always had a place to be and people to see. Seen a friend in everyone and was loved by all.
Ross is predeceased by his father Ernest Budden, his mother Stella Budden, his sister Joyce Hodder (Francis), brother Leonard, and his grand daughter Bailey-Ray.
Left to mourn is his loving and supportive wife of 44 years, Marie Budden (nee Blake), his daughter Tina (Terry), his sons Richard (Michelle), and Stephen (Crysta). His grandchildren, who loved him dearly; Brooke (TJ), Brenna, Sydney, Tyler, Blake, and Brady.
And finally Ross leaves behind his brothers, Alonzo (Geraldine), Edgar (Olive), Darrell (Betty), his sisters Ivey (Seth), Jacqueline (Albert), Helen (Scott), and Alice (Eugene), and his sister-in-law Mabel.
We would like to send our sincerest thanks to the wonderful staff at James Paton Memorial, as well at Health Science Centre, for their care over the last couple of years while Ross battled cancer.
