Bud is also survived by six grandchildren that he was always so proud of. In order of age: Molly June Naranjo and husband Brandon, Ethan Walter Blackwell, Zachery Colton Blackwell and wife Angela, Ryan Kelly Hearn and wife Hayley, Nathaniel Christopher Blackwell, and Rebecca Lynn Blackwell and fiancé James Keleman.

Bud was preceded in death by his parents; granddaughter, Megan Faye Hearn; sisters, Jewel Anderson of Marshall, Texas, Rose Westbrook of Deweyville, Texas, Velma Joyce Scanlon of Portland, Oregon, Floy Harrison of Orange, Texas, and Dolly Rene Brown of Oregon; and brothers, Billy Hearn of Shreveport, Louisiana and Edward Hearn of Orange, Texas.
