Chester Payton “Bud” Irby Jr., 76, went to be with the Lord after a courageous and determined battle with cancer on April 19, 2011. Born in Houston on Dec. 16, 1934, he lived in Huntsville, since 1976.
Throughout his life, Bud worked as a stationery engineer and construction supervisor in Houston and Huntsville, as well as overseas. He retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2000. He proudly served in the U.S. Naval Reserves and was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was also a member of the Melrose Chapter of the Masonic Lodge. Bud was married 55 years to his wife, Billie, and was a devoted father and grandfather.
In his memory, friends are encouraged to make a donation to the American Cancer Society.
