Ernest R. “Bud” Garner

Bud left us on June 17, 2011 for his home in Heaven after a long illness. He was 86. Born in Kansas in 1924, he later moved to Santa Paula at the age of 5.

After graduating from Santa Paula High, Bud served in the Navy as a signalman on a sub-chaser ship. He graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in agriculture, which led to his 37-year career with the Limoneira Company.

His passion in life was serving God and anyone in need. Bud valued family and friends over any worldly possessions.

He leaves his wife of 57 years, Betty; daughter Leslie; sons Mike, Andy and Chris; seven grandchildren and two beautiful great-granddaughters. Bud will be greatly missed by his family and a multitude of friends.
