Clarence Oscar Buckner Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Clarence Oscar Buckner (Searcy, Arkansas), born in Haynesville, Louisiana, who passed away on August 31, 2018, at the age of 79, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Clarence Oscar Buckner to pay them a last tribute.
He is survived by: his wife Sandra Buckner; his children, Jodie Chapman (Steve) of Searcy and Danny Buckner (Karen) of Vilonia; his grandchildren, Brooke Crawford (Chase) of Pennsylvania, Haley Buckner of Vilonia, Erin Chapman of Mississippi and Payton Buckner of Vilonia; and his great grandchild Tristan McClain of Mississippi.
He loved to share his favorite poem, "When I Quit this Mortal Shore" written by Mabel Easley. "When I quit this mortal shore, And mosey 'round the earth no more, Don't weep, don't sigh, don't sob; I may have struck a better job. Don't go and buy a bright bouquet, For which you'll find it hard to pay. Don't mope around and feel all blue, I may be better off than you. Don't tell folks I was a saint, Or any other thing I ain't. If you have jam like that to spread, Please hand it out before I'm dead. If you have roses, bless your soul, Just pin one in my buttonhole, While I'm alive and well today, Don't wait until I've gone away." The family will have a private celebration and has asked that memorial donations be made in his honor to the Wounded Warrior Project or to a charity of your choice.
