Roy “Bud” Dwight Heberling, 89, of Bellevue, passed away peacefully on December 9, 2019, surrounded by family. Born December 23, 1929 to George and Bessie Heberling, of Seattle, Bud grew up on Queen Anne’s Highland Drive, and graduated from Hill Military Academy in Portland.

In 1954, Bud married Elsie Victoria “Vicki” Carlstedt and the couple moved into the Heberling family home on Lake Sammamish, where Bud enjoyed boating and social events. They had two children, Brian and Kristin. Bud loved family gatherings, the Seahawks and genealogy.

Bud leaves behind his son, Brian Heberling, daughter, Kristin Dobson, and three grandchildren, Brittany, Ian and Lydia. At the family’s request there will be no memorial service.
