Abraham James Budd JR was born on November 15, 1975 in The Pas, Man to parents Abe SR and Linda Budd. He was raised by Grandparents until their passing. Abraham received his education in Sturgeon Landing until he went off to residential School in Prince Albert, SK. It was here that he met his future wife.
Abraham was employed as a Tree planter for a year and then was selected to work for the band as part of the fire crew suppression team. He was also employed as a maintenance person at Nechapanuk Child and Family Services for 4 years. He enjoyed working for the band until his health prevented him from working any further.
Bongo enjoyed outdoor living. He was active in trapping, hunting, fishing, boating and skidooing. He taught his son and grandboys some of these land-based activities. He taught his son how to trap and how to use a gun while they were out in the woods. He spent his time fishing with his grandsons. He liked to BBQ with the family, play cards with friends, and enjoyed his quiet time listening to music and watching movies. He loved to spend time with his friends and family. He was outgoing, loving, kind and caring to his grandkids. He was a good friend to many and took time to visit any chance he had.
Bongo was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis 5 years ago, where he made friends with the EMTs. Bongo will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
