Bud Goolsby, a beloved figure in the Lubbock community and a devoted family man, passed away on December 4, 2024, at the age of 81. Born on May 20, 1943, in Lamesa, Texas, Bud lived a life filled with passion for his work and love for his family. He married June on June 7, 1990, in Lubbock.

Bud delivered milk independently for many years and following his marriage to June they began B&J Dairy Product Distributors. Bud delivered milk for over 50 years to local schools and businesses including Cooper and Frenship. His commitment to his work was rivaled only by his love for family and sports, especially football.

Together, Bud and June built a warm and loving home that was always filled with laughter and the joy of family gatherings. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife June; son, James Goolsby and wife Audra; daughter, Heather Crawford and husband T.J.; daughter, Jenniffer Alvarado; daughter, Jill Ware; and son, Jeff Goolsby and wife Andi; fourteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and his brothers and sisters.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman Goolsby and Betty Fitzgerald.

Bud will be remembered for his big heart and the countless connections he made throughout his life, always putting family first and taking great joy in spending time with them.

Donations in honor of Bud can be made to the Palliative Care Unit through the Covenant Health Foundation at 806-725-6089.

My father, Bud Goolsby….We may have not seen eye to eye, but I loved you with all my heart, always. I am sorry we were distant from one another, I hope you find peace in your after life…I do wish… I, as well as Jill, and Jeff could have said our goodbyes but we’re not allowed too. Love always Jennifer

June and family I want to extend my condolences. Bud was always so kind and I always enjoyed seeing him at Gandys. He is healed and with Jesus now. I We hope to see you soon at Calvary Church. The journey over the next week and months will be a journey of healing and many emotions. We will keep you in our prayers. Steve and Junette Alldredge

Bud always made you feel welcome in his home. Just don't get in that kitchen and try to do the dishes. That's his job! And he will run you out of there right quick.

I was there when you and my dear friend, June, married. Here’s to a very, very good man. You will be missed. Rest well old friend till we meet again.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

June and family, I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Bud was a very kind man and we are so glad to have known him. I know he will be missed dearly. Thinking and praying for each of you during this. Hugs!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
