LEWIS MERLIN “BUD” DAVISSON JR.

Lewis Merlin “Bud” Davisson Jr., 65, of Liberty, passed away on Monday, September 21, 2020, at home. He was born on March 29, 1955, in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Bud was one of six children born to the late Lewis Davisson and Betty Schock Davisson.

After graduating from high school, Bud went to Vietnam, where he served with both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. He was physically limited by the injuries he sustained during the war, but his mind was sharp. He loved to listen to rock and roll music and watch western movies on TV.

He is survived by two daughters, Samantha (John) Savage, of Virginia Beach, VA and Betty Lou Simpson, of Cincinnati; two sisters, Sabrina England, of Liberty and Tiki Davisson, of Clarksburg; a brother, David Shaun Davisson, of Clarksburg, and several grandchildren.

Along with his parents, Bud was preceded in death by two brothers, Jon Henry Davisson and George Richard Davisson, and a brother-in-law, Michael England.

Per his request, there will be no public services. Urban Winkler Liberty Funeral Home is honored to be assisting the family with arrangements.
