Lidge “Bud” McDaniel

1938 – 2020

Bud was a loving husband who said “I Love “You” every day to his wife Lynda who he adored! He was a great father, grandfather, faithful Christian and loyal friend. Everyone that knew Bud can tell you how much he loved animals, spending time with family, playing his guitar, traveling, and building things for friends, church, and total strangers. Bud was very loved and often lived by these simple words:“Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.”

Bud wanted to leave his final goodbye to his friends and family through one of his favorite songs: “When I Get Where I’m Going”

When I get where I’m going

On the far side of the sky

The first thing that I’m gonna do

Is spread my wings and fly

I’m gonna land beside a lion

And run my fingers through his mane

Or I might find out what it’s like

To ride a drop of rain,

Yeah, when I get where I’m going

There’ll be only happy tears

And I will shed the sins and struggles

That I’ve carried all these years

And I’ll leave my heart wide open

And I will love and have no fear

Oh, when I get where I’m going

Don’t cry for me down here

Gonna walk with my grand daddy

And he’ll match me step for step

And I’ll tell him how I’ve missed him

Every minute since he left

On, and then I’ll hug his neck

Yeah, when I get where I’m going

There’ll be only happy tears

And I will shed the sins and struggles

That I’ve carried all these years

And I’ll leave my heart wide open

And I will love and have no fear

Yeah, when I get where I’m going

Don’t cry for me down here

So much pain, so much darkness

This world we stumble through

All these questions I can’t answer

So much work to do

But when I get where I’m going

And I see my Maker’s face

I’ll stand forever in the light

Of His amazing grace

When I get where I’m going, yeah

When I get where I’m going, yeah

I’m gonna be in heaven, heaven

When I get where I’m going

Services will be held, Thursday January 9, 2020 at 7 pm at Sharon United Methodist Church in Supply, NC.

A special thank you to the awesome staff of SECU Hospice House of Brunswick for taking such loving care of Bud!
