He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Teresa Elliott. And his children: James Rollins (Cindy), Barbara Jenkins, Beth Robison, Charlie Elliott (Joan), Karey Reichert (Todd), and Michael Elliott (Kissy). He has twelve grandchildren: Sam, Elizabeth, Teresa, Meagan, Kristina, Bonnie, Dylan, Cody, Sharon, Anna, Nikolas, and Kenedy. He has nine great grandchildren: Justin, Jordan, Jeremy, Chase, Jaeden, Camden, Brooklin, Lauren, and Kattleya. He is also survived by one brother, Walter Elliott and niece Tammy Dean. And by many nieces, nephews, and friends & family members that he loved so much. He is predeceased by his parents, his son Dennis, and his granddaughter Tabitha, and sixteen siblings. Buck was a Marine from 1966-1968. He studied the Bible and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on January 3, 1970, with his wife Teresa and his closest cousin Stewart. He was a carpenter by trade, but a farmer at heart. He could always be found on the farm in his favorite spot under his tree enjoying the day. Pop always liked to have the farm full of family and friends whether it was ice skating on the pond, strawberry picking, or gatherings where everyone was always welcomed. Despite his physical limitations, he always kept a positive outlook and his favorite reply to how he was doing was “I’m doing so good I can hardly stand it.” If you ever visited him and he said “I just need you for 5 minutes”, you would still be there hours later because once he had you, he put you to work. He affectionately referred to everyone as ‘boy’, even his granddaughters. He was never too busy for his grandchildren. Those close to him knew that when you came to visit, bring a snickers and a sprite. You were guaranteed to get a good laugh, a few scriptures from the Bible, or some other wisdom. He didn’t shy away from saying what needed to be said, whether you wanted to hear it or not, but it was always with love and the best of intentions. He made it very difficult to watch a game of football especially when the Dallas Cowboys were playing. He was quiet until they scored and then he would start talking. He was proud of his family and always let them know it when they accomplished anything. He appreciated good people and hard workers. He would take any and every opportunity to let others know the truths he learned from the Bible and wanted them to listen. Every person who knew him has special memories of him because he was so special, truly one of a kind. He had a very strong faith in the Bible’s hope of a resurrection here on earth. He looked forward to the time when he will be able to race his grandchildren with no wheelchair and in perfect health. A few sayings of Buck’s: “A hard head makes for a soft tail,” and “Bad associations spoil useful habits.” Buck was so special that he couldn’t belong to just one family. Over the years he was a brother, uncle, father, or grandfather to everyone who stepped on the farm. A service will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 2pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 15103 Rixeyville Road Culpeper, VA 22701, with Mike Bell officiating.
