Dad Lost His Son To Alcohol But Found Hope In God
Bud was devastated when he found out that he lost his alcoholic son. But he turned to God in the midst of the tragedy. He got a knock at the door late one night and when he answered, his heart stopped beating.  It was a police officer who came to report that his son Brannon no longer living.

But alcohol became part of his life and it completely took over. His family tried to do all they can to help him by getting him away. But after he went to a six-month rehab, Brannon took his own life at the campsite his family always visited. Bud just could not grasp how such a thing could happen.

It made him realize that there are people who need to hear the message of Jesus Christ. He knew he just had to be more intentional about the freedom they can have in Him.

Now he does not hesitate to share the Gospel with everyone he comes in contact with.
