Mr. Shoemaker worked in the oilfield for 33 years retiring from Chevron in 1999. He enjoyed working in his yard, tending to his plants, flowers, and mowing. Bud and his wife had cross-pollinated day lilies and made a few new breeds they were able to name. He made sure his yard was always immaculate. Bud was a collector of all things including cats from around the neighborhood. Mr. Shoemaker loved the Lord and didn't mind telling others about him including strangers. He would read through the Bible every year and then start over the next year just to keep it fresh in his mind.

Survivors include his son, Darby Shoemaker (Susan);  daughters, Marcy Johnson (Jason) and Joey Smith (Michael);  sister, Patsy Brumfield; along with a host of family and friends.

Pallbearers will be John McDonald, Bentley Brumfield, James Alford, Duke St. Ores, Trenton St. Ores, and Malachi St. Ores.
