Milton Boyd Cothrum, better known as “Bud”, age 65, of Russellville, passed away on Thursday, April 04, 2024, at Terrace Manor Nursing Home.
Bud was born on Monday, October 06, 1958, in Gideon, Missouri to Lonnie Bruce & Desser (Clark) Cothrum. He was the youngest in the family and always enjoyed being the baby of the group. He was a truck driver for many years and always made sure his truck was neat and clean. He loved music and could play any instrument available. He loved to sing and play, and often provided the music for demos of new songs for new artists. Music was everything to Bud. He leaves a lot of great memories and we will miss him forever.

He leaves to cherish his memory; his siblings, Wilda Richardson, Ed Cothrum (Allene), Paul Cothrum (Brenda), Phillis Morrow; and a host of nieces & nephews.
