Every time I saw Bucky he had a beautiful smile on his face. He was such a sweet, kind, and loving spirit. I have a great respect for him and the way he loved others. It is clear that he passed down this same sweet spirit to Staci, Jay, Rachel & Jordan. They honor him in how they live & love every single day. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you celebrate the beautiful life Bucky lived. I love y’all & look forward to the day that the family is reunited in heaven. Until then, Bucky will be greatly missed💗

Being classmates grade one through grade 12, I still have lots of memories of us growing up together and playing cowboys & outlaws on the weekends in the woods on the sawmill roads down behind y’all’s house & I would be the stage coach (Riding my Bicycle) and all you guys with horses would be chasing me, and you would always be riding Big Red!
Rest in peace my forever friend!
