Buddy L. Wallain of Boardman died peacefully on Nov. 18, 2025 at home at the age of 72.
He was born on Jan. 6, 1953 in Elkhart, Kan. to Doris and Bud Wallain.
Buddy was a man whose greatest joy was bringing happiness to the people around him and feeding them until they were full. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, cherished by all who had the honor of knowing him. His family was his greatest pride, and the love he shared with them will continue to live on.
A fan of fast cars and bikes, he found community and camaraderie in the clubs that became like family to him in his earlier years. He also served his country with honor in the military, where he met his wife while stationed in England.
He leaves behind a family who adored him deeply. His absence will be felt every day, yet the memories he created – full of laughter, love, grease-stained hands, and heartwarming compassion – will live on forever.
He will be missed dearly, remembered fondly, and honored always.
At his request, there will be no service.
