of Vilonia, AR
July 17, 1958 - August 31, 2022
Honest Bud, 64, of Vilonia left this world for his eternal home, Wednesday August 31, 2022 at his home with his daughters by his side.
Bud was born July 17, 1958 in Conway, Arkansas to the late Raymond and Wanda Lewis Bradley.
Left to carry on his legacy and cherish his memory are his daughters, Amber (Richard) Presley and Angie Fason all of Vilonia; granddaughters, Angel, Emily and Rylie Presley of Vilonia, Carly (Jaden) Shumate of Greenbrier and his grandson, Chase Fason of Vilonia and his sister, Marylin "Sis" (Bill) Dickson of Vilonia. Bud is also survived by his girlfriend of the last year and a half, Darla DeGood of Greenbrier; his precious fur baby, Lucy and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and a countless number of friends.
Bud is preceded in death by his wife of 39 years, Barbara Bradley; his great grandbaby, Shumate and his parents.
Bud loved his family and he loved his friends. He spent his life showing love and compassion to all. He never met a stranger, and if by chance he did, it wouldn't take but a second for that to change.
He enjoyed spending time with his family and his friends, hanging out at the car shows, riding trails on the side by sides and of course telling stories to make you laugh. That was what made him the happiest, to see others laugh brought him pure joy. Bud was most definitely the life of the party no matter where he was.
Bud had a lifelong passion for anything hot rod. He loved them loud and had a need for speed. He used his creativity to build his beloved rat rod. That car brought him so much happiness because of the enjoyment it brought to others. The car brought many new friends into his life and he was always thankful for that. In his words, "You can never have too many friends!"
Funeral Services will be held on Monday, September 5, 2022 at 10:00AM at Conway Cowboy Church, 12 AR-36, Conway, AR. Visitation will be on Sunday, September 4, 2022 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM at Roller McNutt Funeral Home in Conway, Arkansas.
EVERYONE PLEASE DRIVE YOUR FAVORITE RIDE!!!

Honest Bud was one of a kind for sure. A great guy and a real character. I never had a short conversation with him and I always left with a smile. We both loved old ratty cars he was always quick to crack a joke. Man I never figured that when we chatted outside the dollar general the other day that it would be the last time we would speak. I'll lay a big smokey burn out in your memory. Hope you enjoy it! RIP my friend
