September 11, 2021

Mr. Rodger E. Buckels, 67, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at his home in Mountain Home, Arkansas after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was born in February, 1954 in North Little Rock, Arkansas to Rose Mary and Tommy Buckels and attended North Little Rock High School. Although, he lived in Arkansas his entire life, he thoroughly enjoyed his career as a long haul truck driver which took him all over this beautiful country. His family and friends will tell you he was a loving, kindhearted, fun, positive and a goofy guy. He will be sorely missed.

Rodger is survived by his life partner Patricia Gamelin of Mountain Home, his 3 beautiful daughters: Tiffany Salguero, Brittany Buckels and Lacie Bruick (Thomas) his four wonderful grandchildren: Kirah Salguero, Dominik Salguero, Karis Bruick and Harper Bruick; brother: Russell Buckels of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and two sisters: Roslyn Pickens (Gary) of Danville, Arkansas and Robin Hall of Jacksonville, Arkansas.

A small memorial service conducted by Pastor Mike Clark of the Mountain Home First Presbyterian Church will be held in the near future.
