Lloyd “Buzz” Buswell passed away on January 8th, 2020 due to advanced kidney disease. Due to the remoteness of our location and often treacherous mountain pass conditions at this time of year, we will be holding funeral services in two stages.
1) Memorial service and gathering on Friday, January 24th at the Omak Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Omak, Washington, from 2 to 4 PM.
2) Graveside service for internment of his ashes at 11 AM on Saturday May 23rd (Memorial Day weekend) in Snohomish, Washington (near Seattle), followed by a “Gathering, Eating and Storytelling” session nearby.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to consider a gift to the Lloyd Buswell Memorial Fund for Education at Western Colorado University, Gunnison.
