Bucky was born on February 12, 1956 to Dr. William Buchanan Roman Jr. and Jo Nell in Dallas. He attended S.F.A. High School in Bryan and later received his G.E.D.

They were married on August 13, 1993. Following their marriage, they worked for a newspaper company in Bryan and subsequently owned their own newspaper distributing company for 10 years.

In March of 2003, Bucky began a new career in which he attended Colorado School of Trade for Gunsmithing. He graduated in 2004. At that time he was offered a job with Gander Mountain in Fargo, North Dakota and was later transferred to Amarillo.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Jo Nell Roman.

Bucky was a loving husband, father and friend. He will be missed by all those he touched in his life. He had an avid love for all kinds of music, fishing, and hunting. He was a master in all his trades.

  6. I will miss Bucky very much. He was kind and loving. My heart goes out to all his family, esp Dr. Roman. I cannot imagine the sadness of burying your child. The Ashcraft and Roman familiey have been have been friends for many, many years and I love you all. Bucky and I got reaquainted on Facebook and often chatted about life and the good times our families have together. May God’s love comfort each of you. I have no doubt in my heart where Bucky is. He is out of the chronic pain he is in and doing the Lord’s work. That does not mean he will not be missed by many. Much love, Ann Ashcraft
