Joseph Buchanan

“Joseph Buchanan was a brilliantly artistic, loving son with a gentle spirit and a heart as big as the state of Texas, which is where he was born. He had this way of always making you laugh at the weirdest of situations. And the dimples on his cheeks would show his smile even before he began to laugh. He was my first born son, my friend, a loving father, a compassionate soul and a valiant soldier. He served his country for six years in the the United States Air Force as a battle station manager. He loved his job and his country and served it well. He also was an honor guard soldier and served in many funerals for fallen soldiers. He took his life on April 17, 2010 after a long battle with PTSD and depression. He is gone but most certainly not forgotten.” shared by his mom
