On October 5, 2024, we lost our friend, guide, and partner, Macdonald Budd. Many here at Manice Budd and Baggett LLP worked with Mr. Budd for several decades.
Every day, he demonstrated a kindness and compassion that earned the respect and loyalty of his colleagues and of his clients, many of whom he served until the very end. To those who knew him, we mourn your loss as much as we do ours. He certainly would have appreciated your caring thoughts, and so do we. His 50+ years of legal service is a testament to us all.
Mr. Budd is survived by his loving wife Agnes, two sons Macdonald and Anthony, and six grandchildren. As much as he loved his practice of law, his family was always his primary concern, and we share those priorities. Family always comes first. And so, on behalf of his “work family,” we say, thank you Mac. You will be missed.
