Buster is survived by his loving wife Rhonda; his daughters and son-in-law: Shelly Watkins and Jennifer and Mark Mullen; his grandchildren: Amanda and Joshua Jeffus, Dakota Kernodle, Mabrie Mullen, Allie Mullen, and Kaden Mullen; his two great grandchildren: Stetson Johnson and Dylan Kernodle; his loving sisters: Ella Mae McKinney, Ander Jean Berryhill, and Laverne Moore; and numerous nieces and nephews.
