Preston T. "Bud" Goforth Obituary

What a wonderful celebration of life yesterday! Everything was so special, the flowers, the music and the message. I'll always remember Uncle Bud's sweet smile and quiet manners. I enjoyed talking with him at the family gatherings. We love you all!

We delivered Mobile Meals to Preston for several years. He was always a joy to talk with when we came by. We will greatly miss seeing his smiling face and our talks about the possums and especially Toby. RIP our friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time.
Gary & Linda Luther.

Tony & Family, my family sends you our Love & Sympathy. Your family was Special to us. If you are ever in Summerville please come by to see us.

I will miss seeing Bud at church. He told me I looked like his mama, and I really did. He jokingly called me "mama" and I called him "son". Bud prayed some heartfelt and beautiful prayers. I always loved hearing him pray. I know he is happier now that he is with his beloved Dee, but I know you all will miss him terribly. I pray that God will comfort you during this time. Love to you all.

AMEN Nephew. I remember when he came home from basic training and was leaving for Korea. It was a sad time at our home on the Littlejohn Farm in the Asbury Community. He later told me that he was a 50 caliber machine gun operator. He said you did not know who was killing them. They were coming by the thousands. Sometimes they stayed on the front lines in fox holes in snow and ice freezing temperature for two

AMEN Nephew. I remember when he came home from basic training and was leaving for Korea. It was a sad time at our home on the Littlejohn Farm in the Asbury Community. He later told me that he was a 50 caliber machine gun operator. He said you did not know who was killing them. They were coming by the thousands. Sometimes they stayed on the front lines in fox holes in snow and ice freezing temperature for two or three weeks. He said the machine gun would get so hot it would fire it self. Our veterans could never be praised enough and even more so those that paid the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.

I remember when he worked in the Pacolet Mills and he was making around $40 per week and giving our mother $20 a week to help support the family.

I love you brother and hope I can be as good a man as you were.

zRest in peace Bud. You've kept the faith and fought a good fight. With your precious Deann. You will be missed.

We can't begin to imagine the things uncle Bud experienced when he stepped into heaven yesterday. He knelt before God's throne and beheld the face of his Jesus.I'm sure God welcomed him and said well done. Aunt Dee, Terry, Frank, Johnny,Judy, Grandma and Grandpa are probably having a ball catching up with him.

I'm so proud to be a part of this big ole wonderful family. We have been truely blessed. Uncle Bud and all the others exemplified what a

I'm so proud to be a part of this big ole wonderful family. We have been truely blessed. Uncle Bud and all the others exemplified what a genuine loving family is all about. You all helped mold us kids into the men and women we are today. It's my prayer that the same can be said of us someday.

I luv ya UNC. Rest in peace!
