Bud was born in Bonners Ferry August 12, 1959 to Lila and Sonny Finley.

Bud graduated from Bonners Ferry high school. He proudly served in the U.S. Army, where he received a medal for his accomplishments. After he was discharged from the Army, he worked at D & P motors, then Northwest Tree & Reclamation, and finally BNSF Railroad alongside many great friends and also his brother Randy.

He will be greatly missed and always cherished by his loving wife and best friend, Christi, his proud children Kim Kuesner and her husband Cody, Tony Gonnason, and Alyssa Truppe. His loving mother Lila Finley, beloved sister Tangie and her husband Corkie, brother Randy and his wife Lesley, Aunt Donna and Uncle Ray and his wife Lynn. Many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins and many great friends and family.

Bud was a kind, loving, and generous man and he loved the children so much. He will also be missed by his two wonderful grandchildren, Tye and Degan. He is preceded in death by those he missed daily, his father Sonny Finley and his brother Bob Finley.

Know when you hike into the lake or crest that mountain, he will be waiting to welcome you. Cuddle your kids, embrace your loved ones, and live each day as tomorrow may never come. In honor of our family and Bud’s wishes, please make a donation to Hospice of North Idaho. N9493 Government Way, Hayden, Idaho, 83835
