On August 11, 2014, Roy “Bud” Pur-vis left this world for a better place, having made this world a better place.

Growing up in Kaw City, OK, Bud was very active in 4H and public speak-ing competitions, winning a multitude of awards. He worked his way through Oklahoma State University, and thus was a Cowboy all his life. Immediately follow-ing graduation, he embarked upon a 37 year career with Phillips Petroleum Com-pany in various capacities and locations.

Bud built his retirement home in rural Dell Rapids, S.D. in 1999, turning part of his in-law’s pasture into a garden spot that brought great pleasure to friends and family alike. Many were the birthdays/holidays/evenings spent picnicking “at Bud’s pond”.

While his residence was in South Dakota, Bud’s Oklahoma roots remained. He made regular trips to Bartlesville to see family, re-connect with friends, and spend time with his poker club. He and Mary, his wife of

20 years, travelled widely and often, mak-ing the most of their time together. Bud’s ability to converse was unparalleled and often laced with humor, the likes of which we will treasure in our hearts for years.

Bud’s life was a particular blessing to his wife Mary Joneson, his daughters Sheri (Mark) Sweeney and Susan (Brad) Jones, his sons Glenn (Tina) Purvis and Matt (Jennie) Purvis, his sister Carolyn (Bob) Wageneck, his 9 grandchildren, a host of extended family and friends, and his loyal canine companion Babe.

Visitation and sharing of memories will be at Dell Rapids Lutheran Church on Friday, August 15 at 7:00 P.M. Family will be present at 6:00 P.M. A celebration of Bud’s life will take place at Dell Rapids Lutheran Church on Saturday, August 16, at 11:00 A.M., with inurnment to follow at Riverview Cemetery, rural Dell Rapids.
