Adolph Boniface "Bud" Mevers III

Adolph B. “Bud” Mevers III, age 84, of Gulfport, passed away on Saturday, January 3, 2026.

Bud (That is what everyone called him) was an avid tennis player for years; then pickleball as he aged. Of course, dancing was his greatest joy; and he and his wife loved doing ballroom, 50’s, and Bud often got crazy with free style with the others on the floor dancing. Bud was a character and loved by so many. He would never turn down dancing with one of the gals, no matter how tired he was; he just loved dancing. Bud also enjoyed going to yard sales and working in the garden with his crops. He was always doing something; that is, when he was not eating or sleeping (also his favorites).

Bud is survived by his wife, Ruth E. Mevers; 2 brothers, Guy Mevers (Shirley) of Denham Springs, LA and Jack Mevers (Gina) of River Ridge, LA; several nieces and nephews; and pickleball friends and dancing friends.

Bud will be cremated and will rest in Biloxi National Cemetery. Details for a celebration of life will be forthcoming. Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home, O’Neal Road, Gulfport is honored to serve the family of Adolph “Bud” Mevers III.
