Buddy was more than just a brother in law, he was our brother. We are all going to miss him deeply. We all are honored to have had Bud in our lives and family. He was a soft spoken kind hearted man to many. Especially all the kids big and small. We will miss his laugh, his smile, and all his hugs he loved to give. Every time I hear a pig squil,lol, I will think of Bud and smile. He was always there when ever we needed him. He would work day light to dark for 3 days straight just to help us get in our new home faster, and never ask for anything more then just a hand shake, smile, and a hug. Our hearts are deeply hurt, but also so deeply thankful to have known him and now he is home with our Father in Heaven and is no longer in pain. We will never forget Buddy. We love him and will see him again. He will wrap his big bear arms around us all and keep us safe. I love you Bud!!!

I have known Buddy since I was ten. Him and his brother Mark were my best friends growing up. Even though we grew up and moved on in our lives every time I seen Buddy he always gave me the biggest hugs. He was one of the greatest friends I will ever have. I will miss him dearly. Him and Mark are now together. My heart goes out to his wife his mom and all of his family.

We were so privileged to get to know Buddy. Glad to call him "friend." We got to know Buddy when hurricane Ike tore our house up, and Buddy and his brother Tex came to our rescue. They worked on our house for several months, so there were plenty of meals and visits we all spent together. So, it is a great honor to call him friend. Going to miss him. Prayers go out to Tina and family. Roger and Terry Dixson

My heart felt prayers go out to Buddy's family. I had the opportunity to work with Buddy here at Baptist Hospital. Buddy was a very kind and hardworking employee and will be greatly missed.
