10 years and counting. Its been challenging but we are still standing. There is not a day that goes by, we don't wish you were here. Just to have your positive energy, and smile.

D.D. My big brother from Hartman. I remember all the good times we had back then. I had been out of touch and happened across the news via facebook. It still seems so unreal. I thank God that I had you as a brother. You were well loved here and I know the same in heaven! You have an amazing family here and Im blessed to have known you.....until we meet again. Your baby sister Lynn.....

Happy Anniversary D! (22 years)
You brought so much joy to my life. I will cherish all the great years we had together. What I would give to just see that smile or hear your voice again. June 28th was the happiest day of my life and I will cherish it forever. Your memory will forever remain in our hearts. I hope we are making you proud. It gets hard at times but I remember what you told me. "Don't Worry about things you have no control over" and "Do whatever makes you happy". Keep on pushing!
RIP Dede Buckner

I gave you all I had to give and I would have given myself for you. Oh how I love you and miss you daily. It stills seems unreal although I know It is so. I never thought I would out live my
children nor did I want to. But here we are, not in control of life
because surely if I were you would still be here.
I am so glad I still have your brother and the rest of the family
otherwise the pain of loosing you would overtake me. Thank God for JESUS!
Though I knew you all your life, your homegoing services showed me the pieces of you I had seen, the parts seen through the eyes of others.........You are sooooo awesome. You seemed to have walked out everything God intended for you to do. I am also very glad that many things I asked you to wait and do later you went ahead and did them anyway and I so happy you did. I know you left too soon but I also know you left this earth a fulfilled man.....a man among men. Love you babe, your Mom
Your Mother.

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.

Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Dede,
When I speak it comes from my heart one of many things we had in common! I use to always ask you serious questions because you always had the answer for me, wow that was wisdom and from that I gained knowledge and from the knowledge understanding came with it; I go visit the family often to make sure everything is ok; I know I was young but you looked at me as a true friend/Lil brother/ son. Im truly blessed to have crossed path with you in this life time! ( A pure hearted prayer that I pray for us our family and loved ones) " Father God in heaven! Thank you for every breath we take, thank you for waking us up in the morning & lying us down at night; thank you for the pure heart you give us that makes us light up the room when we enter; thank you for the wisdom knowledge and understanding that you bless us with. Thank you for the hedge of protection you put around us; we love you father god with all our heart amen amen! I love you DD!

DeDe,
Michael and I have so many wonderful memories of hanging out your house socializing and watching boxing. You just had this way of lighting up the room with your youthful presence. You encouraged us to take the time and enjoy some of the finnier things in life, like spending the weekend at the Onmi Hotel, or driving to the Coushatta Casino in the middle of the week just to take a breather from work. You challenged us to put a little more swagger in our step, and live life to its fullest. Whenever your name comes up with friends or family, someone always have a treasured memory to share. Whether if the memory is about is about how you and Rhonda helped them through a troubled time, or if it’s about a joyous occasion, your kind nature had a great impact on the lives of many. The love you showed for your family and friends will live on with us forever. You are truly missed. Rhonda, you and the boys are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Love your cousins

You are gone but never forgotten. You were a true blessing to my family. You and Rhonda were there for all of my mom’s relatives. You guys always seem to know the right words to sooth our pain. When I lost my son I thought I was going to lose my mind you immediately put me at ease by saying “we are family and we will get you through this”. Cousin Rhonda I am praying for you and the kids and wish that I could offer you the right words that will sooth your pain. We miss you DeDe.

Dee's Song
What is this feeling, cant eat a bite, work till I'm tired, cant sleep at night, cuz I love you much to much. But after the mornin after and after the night before, I wanna thank you for the joys and pains of life. You give me a reason to live. Though I cant get over you and I wanna be with you, the magic you have shared with so many has really taught me that love is the key. And we need love to live. As I remember mothers song, always have each others back and never side against one another, cause after everyone is gone you will always have each other. So I will stop runnin away from what we started and continue being Dee's lil brother. Its not just us anymore but we are one and when you love someone they will always have a place in my heart. I know in your own kind of way you have shaped me and molded me, and I wanna thank you. I wish you well for now cause I cant get over you but while I'm alone I know GOD will put me back in stride again. You will always be my lovely inspiration. So before I let go, to you and all of our family, I will never let you down cause I love you much to much. I have stopped worrying and now, I'm just doin it, the "Dee way". I won't mourn you, I will be more like you, a friend to everyone.
Forever young,
Forever yo lil bro,

Hello Dee D,
I want to let you know how much your friends all deeply miss you. I miss your humor remembering when it was any major Sports Time your house was the place to be with your laughter in the air making everyone else laugh and enjoy themselves. It was always a pleasure watching you with your lovely family all always enjoying one another's company. I remember you always asking your wife to never get down off the Mantel where there was a Female Statue telling Rhonda she better not ever get down and leave making us laugh right in the middle of a Boxing Match. I am so glad to have met you and your family spending time being around you. I know your watching down from Heaven making everyone up there laugh too..

By Gods grace and mercy we have made it through this year without DEDe. Although there were many sad days I learned to focus on the wonderful memories. I think of the day he took O.J.,Mark andCory under his wings as a big brother and the girls as sisters.Those cold evenings I passed through on the way from work and was greeted with a tall cup of hot chocolat w/marshmellons to carry me on to Baytown.That night I had abad nose bleed on the way home, justcalled and he was at the car with abig ole towel and so much love.The nice restaurants, the trips out of town either flying or driving,all the Christmas Eve parties at our house just so many memories. But most of all I praise God for giving Rhonda those glorious years with the wondeful husband,outstanding father,and caring person that he truly was. Thanking God also for the loving mother that raised such a great son. Thank you God for allowing DeDe to tough our lives. Your loving mother-in-law and father-in-law.

As I anxoiusly wait by the phone for your call on the lastest gossip or family affair invite, Or weather we were driving up in your driveway any hour of the night or day & you're happy to see us! It makes it that much harder to accept the unbelieveable that you're not there. Our lives have changed forever, As we sit by your side confused, hurt, gutted empty as if we had taken our last breath with you. We must take this life as it's left day for day or in my case moment to moment until we meet again. I still get the lump in my throat when I think of you not being here "THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE!!" I see so much of you and Rhonda in Lionel & I. It's amazing what you'll taught us in the time we shared with one another. You always said "It's not what you go through but how you come out of it", & idk if I'm going to come out of this one!! When you left you took part of us with you that can never be replaced. In case I never did I want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you taught us, for every unconditional moment you shared with Lionel right or wrong you listened and didn't judge and for being the best man you could ever be to the both of us. So hold your head up high because you did your thang while here on Green and taught us to " DO IT BIG or NOT AT ALL " So big up's to one of Houston's finest out of Tropicana Village DeDe Buckner. We miss you and love you dearly & can't wait to see you again.

RIP Demetrius Buckner....
Where can you find a man that listen to you not thru you????
Where can you find a man that will feed a whole neighborhood???
Is there a person who never meets a strange and will welcome you into his home???
God Thank you for sending such a person as my brother DEDE...
Thank you for what you taught us and this life experience.
Life is too short..
We will love each other and live like there is no tommorrow.

Rhonda, remember this: You can't color a thought or touch an emotion but true love is to the bone and soul and that is what you surely had with Dee Dee.

Today we celebrate the impact you had on our lives, the laughs, the jokes and the quotes and the advice. So family lets not Cry! Celebrate his life like he did everyday! Where is the Patron and the Madden!? He gave us too much for us to be sad.. SMILE! Cuz he's SMILING!! I was sad today, and it started off rough. Its snowing the roads are horrible..my hubby got ran off the road this morning by a bus, car in the ditch..then im on my way home from the dentist and i get into a accident, nothing harmed but my OES license plate..If i didn't have God and my personal Guardian Angel (my daddy) i know it would have been worse! So don't Cry we are in Good hands like ALLSTATE!! Love you daddy and missing u!!
You showed us the true meaning of how God wanted us to Love One Another!! The greatest gift of all!
Love you Always and NEVER FORGOTTEN

Words can't express what a powerful force this man was in the lives of so many. I could always turn to him and talk about anything I was going through...and he'd listen with a sympathetic ear...and not judge. Really miss those long talks in the front yard. DeDe had many acquaintences....but whenever you talked to him you always felt like you were his best friend. That kind of personality is rare. A shining light that will never be extinguished even though he is not here in the physical form. Don't think I'll ever have another person like De in my life...but I'm so glad the lord let us borrow him for a while. Love you DeDe...You will never be forgotten.

It still shocks me that I can't pick up my car keys and head to the house and not see you as I enter the kitchen. I'm mad that I can't call you to complain about my car or tell you the lastest joke I heard on BET. I'm upset that I can't see you once again, but most of all I am sad that you are not here with us. Our family has survived this year without you, it has not been EASY. The house is like a museum dedicated to you. Every corner, every room reminds me of your presence. When im scared or lonely or lost I retrieve back to the house, I sneak into your room and close the door. I feel you there and I know your next to me giving me advice, comforting me. I love you Daddy-O and I miss everything about you.
Till I see you again. I love you.

As it nears a year since we've been without you the hurt that my heart feels is still so strong. But I know you're smiling down on all of us, and because of that, it makes me smile. You know recently Carl put new head lights on the Vette. And when he was done he came inside the house and just sat on the sofa...quiet and sad. When I
asked, " bae, what's wrong"? He slowly
replied, "I don't have DeDe to go show it
to". But like I told him, you were there all along. Now you have big beautiful wings on your back and see it all. Which is sooo comforting to know. We still feel your presence and we know you will never truly be gone from us!
Until we meet again bro-n-law,
Cynthia D. Buckner:))

I'm now married into the family. But even when I was just a girl his brother was dating, he always made me feel welcome. Like I was already family. He never made me feel uncomfortable or like the outsider. Once I officially became family, things remained the same. I could always count on DD to be DD.
As I observed his life, I learned that it's okay to have the finer things in life and not feel guilty about it. I'm still learning how to "loosen up" a little. He left an everlasting impression on me and I still tear up when I think of him and when Tootie asks about him out of the blue.
Although he's gone. He'll never be forgotten.
Sincere Love

Sometimes in our lives we meet someone who stands out above the rest.
Well De-De was one who stood out above the BEST!
The thought of being robbed continued to cross my mind over and over on behalf of De-De, his wife, children and all that loved him. I asked Why? So many times you could stack the Why's millions of miles TALL!
Then I realized God knew best and we (his love ones) were the blessed one's. Because the one's that were robbed were those that never had the pleasure of meeting him at ALL!
I miss you Cousin! You left a WONDERFUL LEGACY and they are continuing to live out your DREAMS!

I remember like yesterday my first time spending a night over with Brooke in overbrooke and you met my over protective mother for the first time. You put her at ease and she later said to me that I was welcome to spend a night over there when ever I liked because she knows I would be in good hands. That is just one of the many stories that people have of your character. You always made people feel welcome and you were fun to be around. You will be missed by many. Tell my daddy I said hi.

So I truly thank you for that and I want you to know that you will be truly missed by me and Brooklynn. I am also thankful to be able to give you a grandchild before you left this earth that truly loves you with all of her heart. I love you daddy and I will truly cherish all the good times we had, Love you much your second oldest child!!!!!!

Uncle dede, i would do anything to see you again! Just last week i had a dream of you, and i woke up cryin. I remember when i would alwayz tell you " you know im your favorite nephew" and you would say "your my only nephew." :') You were the one who tought me most of the stuff i know like how to play basketball & how to tie a tie. Till this day its feels like it was just yesterdsy when you left us and it still hurts just tha same. You touched alot of lives, more than i realize. I still have people i dont really know come up to me at my school who knows you. Every time i think of you or talk about you i try not to cry. I know i have to stay strong for Tre and Kobi and im watching after my Auntie. I will mourn you till i join you unc but for now i pray for you as you watch over us. I love you more so much unc!
Love, your nephew,

"Meet me halfway" was the very first words you spoke to me. As we met for the very first time. (Sunridge\Tropicana Village) The beginning of the best days of my life. Never would I have thought it would be the last words you would speak to me the night before you left. The memory of you calling my name to meet you on the starway for a kiss is everlasting. "Rhonda, Meet me half way" You will always remain in my heart because you were a great husband, father, provider and MY BEST FRIEND. No matter what those baby mamas say. LOL. You were truly my Soul Mate! And I was truly your ride-a-die Rhonda Girl. Thank you for the journey, thank you for the kids( my life), thank you for our family. I will try to live up to everything you saw in me. See you on the other side. Love you Dede

To pretend that life goes as planned is wrong. The last words u told me was if I owe u, u will never b broke. That was so true bcuz u have provided me me a life long set of memories that I will never forget. U was my friend but more importantly a father figure that I never had. U showed me so many things and shared so many stories wit me that I can never forget. It hurts daily but im determined to give u more to say about me even though ur not here so I can hear them. I idolized u bcuz u was a living testament of turning nothing into something. So I grind daily to not only show myself but to show u that im out here to get it. I still think its a dream but I wake up knowing that its the same result. Thx for everything, countless nights of play station., giving me the Waylon rule, showing me how to tie a tie, and more importantly being the big brother/father that I never had. U being missed is an understatement. I love u man seriously and will b wit the family forever. Keep smiling bro, we got ur back out here.... Waylon

I always thought it would have been me.I thought nothing could have ever prepared me for this.BUT GOD,who through it all,now that I look back over our lives ,GOD was preparing US all the time.He has given us all we ever asked for and more.He allowed you to shine in your own way through everyone you came in contact with.These past months, everyone I talked to say the same thing,that you are a true friend, you listened ,encouraged ,consoled ,and lifted them up when no one else would believe in them.Its funny how every individual person could say the same thing.God gave you a Salesman job that knowing that you would give of yourself to be a help and an encourager to each person who m you met,on a one on one basis.Young or old it didnt matter, you touched them all, and to this day they still talk about it. GOD truly has given you everything you ever desired. That has taught me to try and be more the man that you always told me to be. To remember the bumps and bruises in our lives ,and through it all,still be an encourager,and not a judge of others .So as I try harder to make it just one more day,I will always remember you, and the way you effortlessly made time for others .You always had an answer and you gave it from experience and from the heart. So for the next second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year,or decade, whatever GOD has in store for me, I will always be praying and waiting to see you again(and not just in the mirror),huh.I promise to you this day, I will always look after our family,and continue to Praise GOD .I now realize "Today is not Promised and Tomorrow Is Just a Dream",LIVE LIFE.
I am My Brothers Keeper,
I LOVE YOU FOREVER

to everyone who has been a support to the buckner family i would like to say thank you. my daddy lived his life as if there was no tomorrow, he always told us what to do instead of doing it for us, it seems that he set the path for us to do without him he molded us to be these strong women(all for of my sisters) and men(all four of my brothers)go for what you want make it happen there is no reason that you shouldnt be what you want. any desicions that we may have made good or bad he was there to make sure we came out of it in one peace..the KING of my life. I would like to thank my mom because she couldnt have picked a greater DAD for me. I always wondered why i was named after my father but now i know because he is a loving caring and strived to be the best at everything he did and i seemed to have picked up some of those traits. may my daddy be with us all and we shall live with those wonderful memories he left us with... I LOVE YOU DADDY
not a day goes by that i dont think about you.

Oh my sweet DeDe I do not have enough space to say how much I really miss you. From the time I met you and remembering back on the time you asked for Rhonda's hand in marriage. You were washed down in sweat and oh so very nervous right in my livingroom. I remember it like it was yesteday.We said yes and I have never regreted it one moment. You made our daughter the happiest woman aive.I can truly say that you have bought so much joy and happiness in my life. Thank you God for being so gracous and caring, by giving such a beautiful person to us not just a son-in-law but truly a son. With all my love.

Needing and Missing You! Words can not express what I'm feeling right now. I just know that God put you in my life for a reason and I am so grateful. Thank you God for allowing me 20 years of true love. You didn't have to give it to me but you did. Thank you for my six (seven-Jasmine) beautiful kids. I will cherish these memories forever. My King!!!
love Rhonda Buckner

To the Buckner Family:
I am deeply sadden for your loss. We grew up together in Tropicana Village (I lived on Richwood) and both brothers attended school with my sisters and cousins. I remember the muskateers - De'De, Carlton, Cedric, Sterling, and Ralph. I moved into the Morningside subdivision in 2006 and discovered De'De not only lived in the neighborhood, but our back yards were adjacent.
I happen to be talking with a neighbor last night and she told me what happened, which saddened me even more because I did not get a chance to pay my respects. So please accept my most humble condolences and know that you are being prayed for ferverantly.
May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding consume you in your hour of need.

To the family, De'De will always be apart of our lives, I can truly say that he always shot straight from the heart with any issue and was always available to lend a listening ear. Marrying into the family was an easy transition with you and Rhonda on our sides. We love you and truly miss you DeDe' and Rhonda and the kids, we will always be here for you guys, we love you!
