Emery Powell “Bud” Lipscomb, 72, of Bruceton Mills, died Friday, Sept. 11, 2020, at his residence.
He was born Nov. 9, 1947, in Erwin, a son of the late William Blaine Lipscomb Sr. and Evelyn Lucille Hebb Lipscomb.
Bud was a loving father, an adoring grandfather and brother. He was a season ticket holder for the WVU Mountaineers, loved NASCAR, loved country music and was a member of the Eagles Club in Kingwood. He was a U.S. Army veteran serving during the Vietnam Era and a member of the American Legion in Front Royal, Va. Bud loved his country and was very patriotic.
He worked for the Riverton Corporation in Front Royal as a heavy equipment mechanic and retired in 2013. In his retirement, he enjoyed working on projects at home, traveling to visit his good friends in Virginia and going out to eat with family, among other activities. He loved to joke around with his kids, grandkids and anyone else around. One of his greatest joys was playing with his beloved grandchildren and all of the laughter they brought to him. They kept him young.
He is survived by his sons, Emery P. “Buddy” Lipscomb II, of Sandy Ridge, N.C., Marty Lipscomb, of Bruceton Mills, and Andrew Lipscomb and wife Teresa, of Masontown, W.Va.; his daughter, Christina Lipscomb, of Bridgeport; three brothers, William B. Lipscomb Jr. (Mildred “Bootsie”), of Edgewater, Fla., John R. Hebb (Brenda) of Leadmine and Kendall “Kent” Lipscomb (Cathy) of Brownsville, Pa., and his adored grandchildren, Megan, Trinity, Kaitlynne, Naomie, Taylor, Korie and Blaine.
Friends may call at the Burke Funeral Home in Rowlesburg from 4-8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14, where funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15, with Pastor Kevin Keplinger officiating. Interment will follow at the WV National Cemetery in Grafton where military rites will be accorded.
The family asks that a mask and social distancing be observed.
