Bucky sat next to me in our basic Deputy USMS class in 2003. He was the friendliest and one of the most thoughtful guys in the class. I will never forget Bucky and I want his family to know he will always be remembered!

I don't know why but over the fast few weeks thoughts of you have weighed so heavily on my heart. Yesterday I found the CD you had made and given to me when you picked Karli and me up in Bristol that day. Bless your heart after all those years you were still there for me when I needed you. I am glad that you and I reconnected and found the friendship we had lost for a few years. Jerry Ray and I still talk. From time to time he calls or emails, I think he just wants to pull memories from when he was younger and lives were simpler. Remember the blue topaz and diamond ring you bought me for my 20th birthday? Well I took it to your mother. I thought she should have it. I couldn't let go of anything else just yet but I assume in time I will. It's funny how my heart truly hurts I mean physically hurts as I write this. I thought in time it wouldn't be as tough but the tears still fall as I type. The picture of you I hold in my mind is the first day we decided to meet up again and we met at the grocery store parking lot. You pulled in with that "little boy" grin on your face just like you use to do years ago. You wanted to run my car ....remember...but Jerry Ray and Wee took it for a spin insread. I'll close with that, I like that image in my head. Rest in peace. You are missed by so many. You have no idea how many lives you touched. Oh yeah, I met Darlene...she is wonderful!

I could always count on you no matter what !! Even if you were rotten at times it didnt matter. True Love Prevails !! I still hold everything in my heart and No one can take that . Thank You For Loving Me !! Yours Truly Always and Forever !! Love You Puddin Pop :)

Well... I needed to talk to you so bad this weekend. I needed advice and I needed your laugh to make me laugh. I miss so much about our friendship that it is hard to believe your gone. You know how stubborn I am, but I just dont want to accept your not here. If you ran away, I totally understand why you did it.. but I know you would have never put Logan, Dora, Jerry, Jr, Darlene and myself through this. I just wanted you to know I miss you terribly and I miss how funny you were all the time.... I hope you in Peace.... Forever missing you!!!

I miss hearing your voice and your laugh. I cant believe that you have really been gone a year...sometimes it seems like 100 years since the last time we talked and sometimes it seems like yesterday. I had looked for 31 years for you and I was not ready to loose you. I wish things could've been...different.

Happy Birthday

Bucky,
I was at work today and thinking of the last time we spoke. I was getting ready to start a new job and I was alittle nervous and anxious in the new career move I was faced with and the stress of a personal conflict I was dealing with at the sametime was overwhelming. Anytime I hit a rough spot in the road I could always call on you for help, get your opinion on the issue then hang up the phone with some great adviseto follow. We were close unlike most typical sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws (we actually liked each other)-we were just like brother and sister. I never had the opportunity to thank you for the advise you had given me that day, so I would like to take this time and THANK YOU!!! You know I was always ready to return the favor of being a good counselor and friend. I really regret that I wasn't given enough time and wasn't able to help with a little issue you were dealing with. I know that I could have made a difference in your life and could have gotten you exactly what you wanted. When I was called and told about your death I took it really hard and was really disappointed that I didn't get to start on what we had discussed. I did though find some comfort in telling someone we both cared for a great deal everything you had discussed with me the month before your passing. It truly ment the world to her and one day I will tell Logan our conversation because we all do things that are alittle crazy, especially when you love someone and I know you loved my sister and you would want Logan to know what we talked about because it would allow him to begin to heal and cope with all the mess that was made. My word is as good as gold...anyone that knew you...knew how you felt about our friendship. The Bucky I knew and cared for was alot different than the officer Bucky, that most of his other friends was familiar with. He was a very forgiving and loving man with a big personality that would be as soft as a teddy bear at times but would be a hard ass around the other fellers. We could be talk about everything without being ashamed or embarrassed of our feelings. That is what a true friends responsibility is all about, accepting you as you are and allowing you the freedom to express how you feel about certain things in your life without being made to feel ashamed or embarrassed or even ridiculed for something you can't control. Before I sign off I want you to know just how grateful that I am that we had the opportunity to speak those last words to each. It was a very upbeat and positive conversation. I love you and Logan always and miss you!!! Your sissy!!----------------Reny

Bucky we have know each other since high school and then went our separate ways after graduation. It was God's plan for us to find each other years later. Sharing a nearly 11 years of marriage and having a wonderful son together, I feel blessed with holding sacred memories that only you and I shared. To no surprise, the way you took on being a father and raising to my other 2 sons at 4yrs and 2yrs of age to teenagers,I knew you were dedicated to the ones you loved. I wish you were still here. There is so many things I'd liked to have told you but I will have to wait till I see you in Heaven.
You were so devoted and proud of being what you always told me you would be--a Deputy U.S. Marshal. You left behind your imprint on me, Caleb, Justin and most of all on our son Logan. I know you are looking down on us right now--seeing all, and you are proud. I now listen to Logan as he tells me the samething you told me years ago "I'm going to make it. I'm want it more than anything. I'm going to be a DEPUTY U.S. MARSHAL."
You will always be in our hearts
Love your wife,Logan,Caleb and Justin

B-

Although it has been a year,I still miss your face and the way you could lighten up a room or my mood just with a look. I still see those looks, only now I see them in my dreams.

With each day that passes we are left with only dreams and memories and I am glad that we had so many good ones together.

Until I see you again, know that you are missed and will forever hold a special place in my heart.
