Alton Everett Hollebeke Jr. (79), better known as “Buddy” or “Bud”, is now resting after a hard fight against a cancer diagnosis. He was at home, surrounded by his loving family when God called him home on October 12, 2024.

He graduated with the class of 1963 from Ysleta High School. He grew up doing things only a cowboy would do…things like arrowhead hunting and catching rattlesnakes in the desert, coyote and jackrabbit hunting, rodeos, and driving fast cars.
Thanks to his baby sister Bussie arranging a get-together, Buddy met Sharon Lee (Alviti) Hollebeke in 1978. Little did he know, that day he was introduced to his soulmate, his light, and love of his life. Soon enough, he was calling her “Sugar”, and became her husband on November 17, 1979 in Kermit, TX.
