Earl Raymond Ashby III

Earl “Buzz” Raymond Ashby III, of Saint Charles, MO, passed away Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at the age of 73. Beloved husband of Janelle Marie Ashby; cherished son of the late Betty Davidson and Earl Ashby, II; devoted father of Jason Ashby, Marc (Megan) Ashby, and the late Eric Ashby; loving grandfather of Zach Ashby, Blake Ashby, Easton Ashby, Cooper Ashby, and Canton Ashby; dear brother of Jim Ashby, Bill Ashby, Cathleen Ashby, Christine Funk, Michael Ashby, and Matthew Ashby. 

Buzz served proudly and honorably in the United States Army and was known for his wonderful sense of humor and deep love for his sons and grandsons. An avid deer hunter and fisherman, he also enjoyed sports, especially Ohio State Football. His passions shone through as he taught his sons to hunt, often took them camping, and made it a priority to attend their sporting events and later staying involved in his grandsons' games. Buzz was dearly loved by all and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. 

Memorials may be made in Buzz's name to the Backstoppers.
