Buck was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee attending Glencliff High School, University of Tennessee, and then graduating from Middle Tennessee State University. He also served in the US Marine Corps Reserves.
Besides being extremely bright, Buck was gifted in so many ways creatively. He had a passion for art, creating music, and all things photography.
Buck was also very compassionate and always an animal lover and protector. The thought of any animal suffering hurt him deeply and he did all he could to help.
Buck is survived by his father, Brad Adler, sister Amanda Adler Chappell (Ernie), nephews Evan, Elliott, and Emerson, very special family member Carol Gasaway, uncle and best friend, Chris Balduf, and extensive extended family of Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Sue Adler.
If you are reading this and you knew Buck, please know he loved you. He left this earth after many years of challenges that only someone with mental illness understands. He endured and overcame so much.
Hug your loved one, take that phone call, and never, ever take a single day for granted.
Rest in Peace, Buck. We love you.
