Col. (Ret.) Clarence A. (Bud) Patnode, Jr.

June 1, 1932 - October 9, 2023

In Loving Memory

Bud Patnode is the most remarkanble man I've had the honor to know. A doting and loving family man. Bud's brilliance, wit, and charm was wrapped in a man with great humility. He led by example, and he inspired those of us in his charge to strive for excellence... while learning the full measure of sefrvice above self... to care for the people in our charge. While Bud was the most outstanding mentor in my professional life, he was also the dearest of friends. My condolences to Elaine and Bud's family. I carry him in my heart. Eterenal.

I met Bud when he was a patient advisor at Intermountain. I always appreciated his quietly influential presence - his thoughts and feedback were always so insightful and unique. His work on that council helped to positively impact care for many patients. Bud will be missed. Sending love to his family!

While I never met Bud, I have the pleasure of knowing your dear daughter, Michelle, her wonderful husband, Mike, and your beautiful granddaughters, Audra and Kara.  We were together on our neighborhood swim team.  Now we have Barrie School in common.  Deepest sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.  May the memories of Bud provide comfort and love for years to come.

I met Bud through his work at Intermountain. He was a true gem. I admired his intellect, wit, and integrity. I could tell by the way he spoke of his family that he loved them truly. He was one of the good ones. I will miss his presence. Thinking of you all in this time of sadness

I was one of the many that Bud touched their life, for the guidance and leadership many years ago I will ever be grateful. For his gracious support of our reunions, thanks just isn't enough to say. Our condolences to your family.
