Irving Palmer "Bud" Nasby

life story

Bud passed away peacefully in the comfort of his own home, following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

He was preceded in death by parents, Selma Nasby Frame and Gilbert Nasby; sister, Synola Moore, brother, David Nasby, and son-in-law, Larry Moris.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 46 years, Margo Nasby, who stood by his side as he quietly slipped through the bonds of this earthly life and into the arms of his heavenly father.

He will truly be missed by daughters: Diane Nasby Koneczny, Paula Nasby Moris, Theresa (Terry) Nasby Saulsbury, Kimberly Wood Bartolo and Kristi Wood. He is also survived by sons-in-law, Kim Saulsbury and Anthony (Bart) Bartolo.

Bud was dearly loved by his grandchildren: Angie and Scott Helgeson, Kelly Metzger-Moris and Mike Metzger, Kimberly and Adam Quigley, Braden Saulsbury, Dustin and Kali Saulsbury, Danikka Bartolo, and Dylan and Michael Bartolo-Barbeito.

He felt very blessed to have been able to enjoy his great grandchildren: Colie, Stephanie, Benjamin, Grace, Keira, Chase, and Hudson Irving.

Bud is also survived by treasured nieces, nephews and cousins. Small family gatherings and reunions were valued opportunities to have time with all of those he loved.

He had a strong faith life and was an honest man with solid values and a high degree of integrity. After serving overseas in the U.S. Army, he sought opportunities throughout his adult years to remain active in a number of service-oriented organizations.
