He is survived by his wife, Susan Cooper Buckner; his parents, Kenneth Sr. and Brenda Martin Buckner; sister, Shaunda Dunn; brother, Shane Buckner; brother, Kenny Buckner, III; uncle, Eugene Buckner, and wife Linda; and his cousin, David Buckner.
A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, Dec. 17, at 1 p.m. at Ralph Buckner Funeral Home. Interment will follow on Friday, Dec. 17, at Lebanon Baptist Church Cemetery. A white dove release ceremony and the playing of bagpipes will conclude the service.
The family will receive friends from 11 a.m.- 1p.m. on Dec. 17 prior to the service at the funeral home. The family requests that anyone who loved Kenny and owns an antique car to drive in procession to the gravesite.
