Bud proudly served his country for over 20 years, serving active duty for two tours in Korea and three tours in Vietnam. He was a true patriot and remained close friends with his Army buddies that he considered family. Bud was a member of American Legion Post 1 of Lake Charles. He was very outspoken, writing numerous articles to the Editor of the American Press.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 35 years, Francoise Dewees; sons, Mike Dewees (Maria) of Kinder and Jared Dewees (Hollie) of Elton; daughters, Danielle Chretien (Larry) of Elton and Honera Dewees of Reeves; sister, Kay Stelly (Jimmy) of Grosse Tete; and numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Wiltz Dewees Collins; two sisters, Mona Fritzgerald and Rose Johnston; daughter, Dara Dewees and three grandchildren, Aaron Chretien, Katrina Dewees and Ryan Geho.
