Buck was born on February 24, 1937, in Orient, Texas, to George Henry James Sr. and Katy Bell James. He graduated from Bronte High School in 1955 and spent his life dedicated to hard work, family, and faith.

A lifelong farmer and rancher, Buck also served as a patrolman with the San Angelo Police Department, where he was part of the first K-9 unit to serve the city.

In the 1960s, Buck played Cowboy Polo, where his team earned a world championship title — a testament to his competitive spirit and love for the western way of life. He also served in the National Guard for many years, continuing a legacy of service to both community and country.

Buck was known for his warm personality and his ability to strike up a conversation with anyone. He never met a stranger, and people were naturally drawn to his smile and entertaining stories.

Buck will be remembered for his unwavering faith and his boundless love for his family and God. He was a devout Christian and served as a deacon for many years.

Together for nearly 70 years, they created a home filled with love, laughter and many children. Each child chosen and deeply cherished. Buck poured himself into fatherhood, never wavering in his support, guidance, or protection. His love extended through generations, and his greatest joy was being surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — the legacy he was most proud of.
