Elvin Vaught (Bud) McIntosh, 92, February 16,1932 – April 22,2024

On April 22, Bud went to heaven, passing peacefully in his sleep at home.

Bud was born on February 16,1932 in Salt Creek, Wyoming to Bertha and Orville McIntosh. Bud attended school in Mills and Casper and graduated from NCHS in 1950. After graduation, Bud worked several jobs around the state. In 1952, Bud enlisted in the Army to serve his country. He served in Korea as a weapons instructor, and numerous airborne divisions, including the 101st Airborne, finishing his tour in Japan in 1957.

Returning to Casper, he met Sheila Burgess, the love of his life. They were married in 1958 and enjoyed 66 years of happiness and laughter. In 1958, he also started his career with Standard Oil Company, later known as Amoco. After 30 plus years of faithful service, he retired from the Company.

Following his retirement, Bud stayed active with his many hobbies. His grandchildren were certainly the main focus of his time. He loved helping all of them with any projects, primarily 4-H and FFA livestock, as well as attending all their sports events. He was active in the Antique Club, always anxious to share stories about the old treasures he had gathered and collected.

Bud had a great love for Wyoming and its history. His library contained many books on the subject, and he loved debating with anyone that shared his interest. He was also a Mills volunteer fireman for several years and really enjoyed it.

He was always willing to share his shop and time to help his friends with any problems they might have. In later years, he enjoyed pasturing and helping care for the horses of college rodeo students.

Bud is survived by his wife, Sheila McIntosh, and 3 children, Alan (Pam) McIntosh, Dennis (Pat) McIntosh, and Vicki Steinle (Steve). He is also survived by 5 sisters, Jean Perry, Norma Pigg, Donna Gladson (Jerry), Blackie Nelson (Mel), and Judy Hageman, his grandchildren, Travis (Mandy) McIntosh, Butch (Audrey) Steinle, Kyle McIntosh, Brice (Lisa) McIntosh, and Kari Steinle (Ashton Boyles), and his great grandchildren, Madison McIntosh, Raiden Steinle, and Memphis McIntosh. He was preceded in death by his parents, Orville and Bertha McIntosh, his brothers, Bob (Ellen) McIntosh, and Jimmie McIntosh, and his sister Butch (George) Rodgers, his brothers-in-law, Pete Perry, Larry Pigg, and Bill Hageman.
He is also survived by his brothers-in-law, Giff (Cindy) Burgess, Greg (Beth) Burgess and his sister-in-law Edna Burgess. He was also preceded in death by Bob Burgess, Vivian (Ed) Lowndes, and Gary Burgess.
