The Triad area lost one of its finest last week. Buck Horn of Buck Horn Construction passed away from complications from leukemia at the young age of 54. I had worked with him several times throughout my real estate career, both across the table in transactions as well as on the same side of the closing table. He was a professional colleague, but I also considered him a personal friend.
Buck was truly larger than life... when he walked into a room, he commanded attention not by demand but by natural charisma. Always smiling, always putting an interesting "spin" on things, always putting thinsg into perspective, and ALWAYS building others up and helping others out... that was just Buck. If you didn't get a chance to read his obituary, seek it out -- every single word is true.
Buck is most well known in our area for his home construction business, but he was so much more. He was an entrepeneur, a wonderful husband, a devoted father, a lover of God, and a friend to many. He was behind the scenes supporting so many causes and individuals and families... just standing in line after the memorial service, I learned of so many ways he had helped others while never asking for recognition of any kind.
Buck, you are missed.
