He was loved dearly and will be truly missed. He is survived by his loving wife Michelle Buckman, daughter Rachel Evans, son Billy Buckman and wife Tanya, his stepdaughter Chyal Bowden and husband Seth, Sister Becky Kohler and family. He was Papa to Isis Evans, Andrew, Zachariah, Harper, & Clark Bowden. Papa is now building that tree house in Heaven.
