  Buck was a great guy and my whole family loved him. He will be greatly missed. My sister and my baby girl lexie is completely devasted. Lexie was his doodlebug. He is in heaven now and no pain and will be waiting on the people he loved at the gate when it is our time. RIP Buck and we will always and forever love you and you will always be in our heart...
