Allen “Bugs” Dwight Cushion, 70, of Fairbank, passed away Sunday, October 6th at Mercy One Hospital, in Oelwein, of sudden heart failure. Bugs was born November 15th, 1948 to Howard and Evelyn Cushion of Maynard and was the second eldest of seven children. After graduating in 1966 from West Central (Maynard) he pursued a career in auto mechanics and continued making a living doing what he loved until he retired at the age of 64. Bugs married Teresa Ann Miller March 11th, 1972 at the Fayette Methodist Church, and the two soon made their home in Fairbank having three children, a daughter Traci, and two sons Travis and Eric. He loved anything with a motor, all things racing, and rekindled his passion for farming and tractors after his retirement. Bugs always made time for those he loved and was willing to share his vast knowledge on anything mechanical whenever anyone asked for advice. He
 always had a story or a joke no matter the situation. Bugs will be deeply missed and not forgotten. He is survived by his youngest son Eric (Bean) of La Crosse WI, his brothers, Donnie of Mable MN, Duane of Maynard, Darrell of Fayette, and his sisters, Carol Orr of Fayette, Cathy Heldt of Garnavillo, and Cindy Campbell of Mesa AZ. He was preceded in death by his parents Howard and Evelyn of Maynard, daughter Traci, wife Teresa, and son Travis.
