Robert Dwayne Buxton

Robert Dwayne "Bones" Buxton, 60 years old, beloved husband, son, father, and pappy, was called to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 21, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He entered this world on July 26, 1964, born to Mary and John Buxton, in Zachary, LA. He was a passionate hunter and an amazing cook; he was known for his love of the outdoors and cherished his time spent with his family at the deer camp. His compassion and caring nature were evident in everything he did, especially the way he adored his wife and grandbabies.

Dwayne's compassion extended beyond his family to his greater community, reflecting his generous spirit. He was deeply committed to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
