Buddy, you saved my life when I was a young man at 22.  I will always have fond memories of our fun times.  Your in good hands now my friend!

Finally thinking happy thoughts when i come to this page. i can still hear your voice singing old country songs that come on the radio and i can still hear your laugh when someone tells a cheesy joke. i miss you but im sure you're doing all the things you've wanted to do, but havent been able to do in many years. the week you left i thought that i had lost one more person in the world that would be praying for me...but now i have one more in heaven praying for me. i love you so much my only regret is that i think about you more now than i ever have.

I am so sorry that I did not hear about Buddy's passing until yesterday.  We were supposed to go to San Jacinto Harley Davidson and hear Tony Vega Band on Saturday, September 24th, but I now know why he did not return my phone call.  He had been promoted to heaven before us and is on his Heavely Harley and face to face with his Lord.  I will miss him until the day I see him again.  He is everything everyone has said in this guestbook and even more.  He was my 'Buddy', he was my friend and gave me an understanding and knowledge about Jesus I had never learned anywhere else and I became a better Christian for that.  The only peace I have is knowing he will never be in pain again and has true happiness forever and ever.  To Amon, George, Callie, Esther, Jacob, Cathy and Tim, you will always be in my heart and prayers.  Buddy always expressed to me how much he loved you all so very, very much everytime I saw him.

Thanks for the motorcycle memories Buddy. We spent many a day riding our bikes around the beautiful Texas highways. Buddy was one of the good guys in this world but I know he was not of this world. He's home.

Buddy and his family were the first friends we made when we moved to Colorado Springs in 1992.  Rest in Peace and enjoy your new home my friend.

I personally never met Buddy, but I can say this he must have been a caring and loving person just by watching his children and seeing what kind of fantastic individuals they have become.

went to high school with buddy, esther and cathy.  rest in peace, buddy.

I went to high school with buddy and so did my sisters.  I was in his sister esthers class.  We are praying for the family.  Rest in peace, buddy.

I am so glad that Buddy was a wonderful father to my great niece and great nephews.  He  grounded them in God's word, encouraged them, and watched them grow into a beautiful young lady and young men (inside and out).  I know Buddy is smiling in heaven today when he looked down upon them.  Love all of you!  Debbie Kirkham Young

Buddy you are a very special nephew and you will be missed.  You have some special children that I know you are very proud of.  I love your smile and the joy of the Lord you shared. I can see you up there fellowshipping with family and friends.  Our prayers go out to your family.  You have a special place in our heart.

I did not know Mr. Copeland, but I share your loss and I pray for your families. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. God bless.

I have known Buddy for many years, but only recently was in contact with him again.  We have had many long conversations about all his family and children.  He loved all of you very much!  I know that Buddy is finally at peace with God and is smiling very big and making someone laugh in heaven.

Well Buddy, we're pretty sure you and Vic are keeping God busy with all your questions. You will be missed by us.  Thank you for being such a great friend and pastor to us for all those years. Love you.  Jonni & Jim

Buddy was a kind friend from our school days, and my prayers and sympathies go out to his family.

I was really glad to get to know Buddy and share some really good laughs. He will be missed by many and my prayers will be with his family for God to bring them peace. Rest in peace Buddy Love you

I was so lucky to have shared some really good laughs with Buddy. I pray that God brings his family peace and know that he will be missed by many.

I am so sad about Buddy's passing.  I feel lucky that I recently had a long, loving conversation with him. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
