Clyde Robert "Bud" Pannier died on June 16, 2012 surrounded by his family. Bud was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Marilyn Peak Pannier and his son in law, Jeff Chytraus. He is survived by his children Christine Chytraus, Rob (Pam), Alan (Dawn) and Julie Balk (Mark); 10 grandchildren: Megan, Christopher, Tiffany, Nicci, Will, Alan, Mikey, Jono, Matt and Peter; his great-grandson, Deacon; his sister, Gladys Anne Butler; and sister in law Margaret Day Nichols.

Bud was raised in Salt Lake City graduating from East High School and the University of Utah where he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Bud served in the United States Army during the Korean War and was Assistant Finance Officer at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital. He was owner and CEO of Utah Bank Note Company.

Bud was very active in RC Modeling. He was a founding officer of the Ute RC Club, Leader Member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics and Coordinator of the Provo-Jordan River model port. He loved to fly his planes and volunteered many hours in setting up contests and working to make sure there was always a place for modelers to fly, whether it was in Salt Lake or St. George. He served on the National Ski Patrol, Kiwanis Club, Rotary Forms Council, Amateur and VHF Radio Clubs and was active with the State of Utah Parks and Recreation Council on projects in Salt Lake and Carbon County.

In addition to flying model airplanes, Bud spent his life teaching his children how to enjoy the outdoors at the cabin in Scofield during the summer and on the ski hills in the winter. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, golfer, skier, and most recently he had become an avid water walker with his friends at TOSH.
