Albert W. Ball, Jr., "Bud", age 71, left this earth surrounded by his family, friends and loved ones on Monday, August 12, 2019, at his home. He was born on June 29, 1948, the son of Albert W. and Ruth S. {Stueber} Ball, Sr., who preceded him in death. Also preceding Bud were his sister, Bev Lupton, and his grandson, Jacob Ball.
Bud will be sadly missed by his wife and first love Linda J. {Eastep} Ball; children Albert R. (Christine) Ball, Jefferson Ball, Brandi Davis, Christopher (Larami) Ball, and Kelli (Paul Ondecker) Carr; grandchildren Jesse, Jacob, Jarod, Chatelle, Orchid, Malachi, Lane, C.J., Dixie, and Kayla; sister Denise "Dee" Sarver; nieces and nephews Gayle (Tom), Tracy (Bill), Ken (Tina), Tony, Michelle and Jake (Lauren); special friends Don, Trudy, and Gerri (Bill); and all dear friends.
Bud was a true patriot, who served his country during the Vietnam Era. He loved shooting with his friends at the range, and going fishing. Bud loved his family, and especially enjoyed attending family get-togethers with them.
Per Bud's wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be no services held, as Bud felt that his love and final moments were shared in the days before his passing, with all the friends and loved ones that surrounded him, physically and in spirit. Bud's family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff of Gardens of Western Reserve Hospice, for their compassionate care of Bud. Donations in Bud's memory may be made to Gardens of Western Reserve Hospice, 3792 State Rd. Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223.
