Buddy passed away peacefully, finally finding the quiet and rest that eluded him for so long.

​Throughout his life, Buddy fought relentless internal battles—demons that few could see and fewer could truly understand. He carried heavy burdens, but behind that quiet struggle was a man who felt deeply, tried his best, and gave what he could to those around him. While his journey was marked by stormy seas, his family and friends take solace in knowing that the fight is over, the noise has cleared, and he is at peace at last.

​He will be remembered not by the struggles that consumed his days, but by the moments of light, laughter, and humanity he shared with the people in his life.

​In accordance with Buddy’s wishes, there is no funeral service or formal memorial planned at this time. Those who knew him are encouraged to remember him in their own way—whether by sharing a favorite memory, offering a quiet moment of reflection, or simply holding a little extra compassion for those fighting battles we know nothing about.

​May he rest in light and unburdened peace.
