Bud was born on January 26, 1940 to Rheinard and Lorraine Kahmar, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.
Bud never met a stranger and had an undeniable gift for gab. He loved fishing, collecting stamps, and playing dominos, but most of all spending time with his family. Bud was a member of the Siloam Masonic Lodge. One of his greatest joys was being a Shriner and participating in the varies Shrine clubs, parades and circus events – all to help raise money for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Bud was a member of the Guthrie Scottish Rite, the Oriental Band and Dune Buggy units. Bud's family loves and will forever miss him.
Bud was preceded in death by both of his parents and step-father Harry Neville "Bud" Flanagan. His brothers David Kahmar, Richard 'Ricky' Kahmar, Paul Corey and sister Francis Pittman. Also going before him was his first wife Charlene Blakemore, second wife Priscilla Kahmar, daughter Nancy Kahmar, granddaughter Kara Rudolph, son-in-law Raymond Morales Jr., step-daughter Roberta Russell and step-sons Randy Leathers and Gaylen Leathers.
Bud's life will be celebrated by the family who survive him: wife, Patricia Kahmar and daughters, Deborah Kahmar, Edith Morales, Janet Rudolph and future son-in-law Nate Johnston, Malissa and Ronnie Beck, step-son Jim and Kelly Leathers and step-daughter Amber and Seaborn Bogert. His brother Charles and Karen Corey, sister Linda and Mac McDonald and nephew Richard and Teresa Warner. Bud had a large family and many nieces and nephews. Grandpa Bud's (a.k.a. Papa) grandchildren include, Victoria and Jerry Albertson, Christina and Cara Shaw, Bianca and Zach Newelle, Kristy and Raymond Morales III, Tiffany Morales, Eddie Rudolph, Jr., Sean Rudolph, Ryne Beck and Justice Beck. Great-grandchildren include, Vanessa Alberston, Sasha Tucker, Cora Hawkins, Joshua Hawkins, Jasmine Morales, Elleana Morales, Khloe Morales, Issac Morales, Ashtyn Newell, Eli Shaw, Emma Shaw and Blake Newell. This list cannot possibly include all those that were dear to Bud for he was blessed with many special people in his life, as we were blessed to have him in ours.
