Mr. Albert Charles ‘Bud” Colley, age 63, of Portsmouth, VA transitioned to his heavenly home on Saturday, January 9, 2021.
He was born June 23, 1957 in Portsmouth, VA to the late A.C. and Sadie Colley. He was introduced to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as an adolescent while attending the Upper Room Mission under the leadership of Minister Sudie Woodard. He was educated in Portsmouth Public Schools After which, “Bud” obtained the position of carpenter’s apprentice (becoming one of the youngest employees of the former George T. McLean Construction Company); serving under the tutelage of his father, A.C. Colley. He would often reflect a since of pride that came with the completion of their building structures. Many projects included the former Mid City Shopping Center, Tower Mall, the Cavalier Manor neighborhood and many independent properties.
Bud’s desire to learn and achieve would continue to set him on many paths as he utilized his many gifts and talents. You name it, and he has done it. If he hadn’t, he would convince you that he did. He found humor in absolutely everything….no matter what the situation…or how dire the circumstances. His bright smile and quick off the cut wit and uncanny sense of humor would have you in stitches. All that knew him will surely miss him dearly.
“Bud” was predeceased in death by his father, A.C. Colley, mother Sadie Colley and brother, Preston Colley. He is survived by two sisters – Cathy Hines of Suffolk, VA; Esther Colley of Chesapeake, VA; three brothers – Warren Colley and Lonnie Colley both of Portsmouth, VA; and Marvin Colley (Anita) of Chesapeake, VA; his life partner – Deborah Holley; special daughter – Ebony Jackson and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
