The person that left this world behind was a man everybody looked up to. Buck was happily married to his best friend for nearly 60 years. He was the best husband a person could have. He constantly nourished, provided, laughed, and created with Fay. They had a love story people dreamed of. Buck dedicated his life to being a family man. They raised three wonderful children on their own and several foster children. He worked his entire life to nurture, teach knowledge, and instill wisdom to those around him. Buck was the richest man. He was not determined rich by the amount of money in his pockets but by the treasures he left the world. Buck experienced hardships at a young age that taught him strength. He took that strength and shaped his family. With added love, guidance, and courage he ingrained the lessons of life. He set the foundation of success, hard work, and being abundantly happy. He introduced the importance of the land and how it can provide for a family. Buck demonstrated how working hard with your hands, pouring joy into relationships, and building experiences with good character allows you to thrive in life. No matter if you had nothing left to offer or how tired you were, it was mandatory to always help your neighbor. He let his family live freely and openly by exploring the wonders of the world. He taught them all how to fish! He was an honest and simple man. You worked hard, lived by the book, loved with all you have, and you will leave this world satisfied. Buck's heart of gold and contagious personality will be deeply missed. His laughter, smile, hugs, and love live on in the memories of all his family and friends. Buck is forever loved.
Brother Buck and Sister Fay were faithful members at Plainview Free Will Baptist Church. What a sweet couple!! Brother Buck would do anything for anybody. He was such a hard worker. He was young at heart and enjoyed the youth as much as the adults. Brother Buck will truly be missed!
