Buddy Mack (Bud) Abrahamson

Buddy Mack (Bud) Abrahamson was born Dec. 11, 1941, in Cedar County, and passed away Oct. 22, 2009, in San Diego, CA.

Bud enjoyed various parts of the country and, after growing up in El Dorado Springs, spent most of his time in Aspen, CO, San Diego, CA, and Southern Idaho. Bud worked in a variety of fields but his primary fields were banking, property management and bookkeeping. When he wasn’t working he fulfilled his many passions—fishing, skiing, kayaking and playing the guitar. Later in life, he added yet another sport to his athletic abilities and that was golf. He enjoyed family vacations from the beach to the mountains. It was during these vacations that he was able to pass on to his grandchildren so many of the things he loved to do.

Bud is survived by a daughter, Sue Nan Abrahamson; son, Todd Abrahamson; daughter-in-law, Griselda Bonales; three grandchildren - Brendan Abrahamson, Chelsea Abrahamson and Sydney Filek; plus a lifelong friend, Mary Nan Marcum - all of whom live in San Diego, CA.

Memorial services will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 16, at the El Dorado Springs City Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Bland-Hackleman Funeral Home.
