Our thoughts and prayers are with Erath County and the family of Commissioner Buck during this incredibly difficult time.
We were truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work alongside Commissioner Buck and to witness his dedication to serving the people of Erath County. His commitment, hard work, and willingness to serve his community will not be forgotten.
We are grateful for the time we had with him and for the many ways he made a difference in Erath County. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, fellow commissioners, elected officials and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Please keep the Buck family and all of Erath County in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Erath County,
It is with a very heavy heart that I share the passing of Precinct 4 Commissioner Jim Buck.
Jim was more than someone I had the privilege of serving with. He was a friend, a good man, and someone who cared deeply about Erath County and the people he represented. I am thankful for the time I had working alongside him, for the conversations we shared, and for the commitment he brought to serving this county and his precinct. And yes, him always being ready to “pay the bills.”
This is a difficult day for all of us, but especially for those who loved him most. Please keep his wife Deborah, his daughters, Jennifer and Jamie, and the rest of his family in your prayers in the days ahead.
Jim will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him and had the opportunity to serve with him. I am grateful for his friendship, his service, and the positive impact he made in Erath County.
