Jimmy D. Buie Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
When Jimmy Buie decided to rejoin the Army, he didn't tell his wife until the morning he went to take the physical. At the age of 42, he was worried he'd fail and hadn't wanted to get his hopes up. But the mechanic, who stayed fit playing church basketball, passed and was in the Middle East within months. Buie, 43, of Floral, Ark., was killed Jan. 4 in a roadside explosion. He was based in Fordyce, Ark. Buie had joined the Army after graduating high school in 1980 and later became a mechanic. He met his wife, Lisa, when the two worked for a dental-products manufacturer. "He was the quiet, strong type," she said. Both of them had been married before and were shy to start dating, but once they did they were inseparable. They were married in a year and Buie took to Lisa's two sons, spending time building a go-cart and playing catch. Buie called his wife two to three times a week to check on things back home. "Every time I talked with him he was so upbeat," she said. "He refused to let himself be afraid."

I hope things are good with your family. I hope God put he hand upon y'all like he did me. I knew Jimmy. I was one of my best friends over there. I hurt me so bad after I heard what had happened. I've had my share of problem dealing with his death also, alone with other that I seen over there. Hope all is well with the family. It's coming up on 10years and I still think about his and other that I knew

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Buie Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Jimmy, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To the family and friends of Spc. Jimmy D. Buie-

Today our school remembered Veteran's Day and each student was handed a slip with a name of a veteran lost in previous wars. The name I recieved was Jimmy D. Buie. I appreciate everything Jimmy has done for our country, and for making the ultimate sacrifice. Men like Jimmy take courage and bravery to the next level to protect America's freedom. Please know that men like him that made the choice to put their lives on the line for us are the true heroes. They fight for us, and for that we are grateful.

April 23, 2008

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Buie!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!



If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!!!
