Bubba was always a bright spot in my day. Such a spectacular soul.

This is such an unimaginable loss and my heart goes out to Bubba’s family and the many friends he had. Bubba was one of the good guys, so kind and always a true friend! I have so many great memories that get me laughing so hard! Until we meet again I will miss you! Love you♥️

Peace, strength and love to his family. Although we weren’t friends small town, everyone knows everyone. He was always nice and smiling. He will be missed.

Known Bubba since Kindergarten. We are crushed.
In response to "How did you first meet "Bubba"?"

My good friend Bubba! You will be missed my friend. I will never forget all the fishing and hunting trips. Staying in the cabin on Libby Creek, getting that buck on Loop Loop. Knowing how cool Ford Rangers were before these millennials and gen z kids. You were always there when I needed a friend and a laugh. I can’t believe you’re gone. To Bubba's family, you all have my deepest condolences for losing this amazing man.
Until we meet again Birry.

Your laugh, your hugs, I will remember always! You were one of kind my friend! The world will be a much dimmer place without you in it! So very glad to have known you and so honored to call you a friend! Our oldest even has your middle name… it was so fitting when we picked it! All my love until we meet again Jeremiah Cole! 💚

My favorite thing about Bubba was that laugh.
I watched him pick up the Frisbee my 105lb dog had in his mouth, and swing the whole dog in a circle repeatedly, laughing the whole time.
I came home to broken furniture once, because Bubba, Ray, and Ritchie (maybe Glenn was there too, I don't remember for certain) had decided to do some kind of WWE moves in the living room.
Bubba didn't mind doing dumb stuff for fun. He once played with stick puppets I'd glued celebrity's faces to, and he played the part of Brad Pitt, by simply saying the same line over and over: "I'm hot. I'm Brad Pitt." Then he'd laugh that awesome laugh.
When Bubba hugged you, you just didn't want him to let go.
Amy moved to town and we brought Bubba down to her house to play ping-pong one night. I think they decided that night that they were each other's person. She wasn't shy about letting him know she liked him, and I could see she made his face light up.
Man, I'm always going to miss you.

I don't know what to say, but I am here, I love you all, and I will hold any hand, hug any one and miss him with you.
