May 6, 2025

Bud dedicated over 50 years of his life to faithfully serving as a minister of the gospel. Through his ministry, he had the joy of witnessing countless individuals dedicate their lives to following Christ. Known by many as a "walking Bible," Bud had a remarkable ability to recall scripture at a moment's notice. His legacy of faith and compassion continues to influence and inspire those he ministered to.

Outside of his ministry, one of Bud's greatest joys was spending time with his granddaughters, especially fishing with them whenever he had the chance. He also enjoyed spending much of his free time outdoors, working on things that were broken or tending to his garden. These moments brought him deep happiness and created cherished memories that his family will treasure forever.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Janet Culbertson; his son, Kenny Culbertson; his treasured granddaughters, Miriam and Lydia Culbertson; the mother of his granddaughters, Julia Culbertson; his sister, Gwinda Morford; his niece, Allyson (Tim) Davis; and a host of cousins and dear friends.

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant" - Matthew 25:21
