Gary was born in Beckley, West Virginia to Verna and Delmer Buchanan. He leaves behind his loving wife of 14 years, Emma Buchanan; son Gary D Buchanan; sister Sherri Martin; father Buck Buchanan; mother by choice, Barbara Buchanan; and nephew Christopher Martin. As well as many other family and friends. He is preceded and transformation by Mom Verna Buchanan.
Gary was a vibrant and joyful man. His hobbies included fishing, traveling, kayaking, woodworking, painting, and rooting for the Mountaineers. I'm making people smile. He was a loyal and loving husband, friend, brother, son, father and never met a stranger. He graduated from WVU with a degree in aerospace engineering, and from Bluefield state with a BS in basic engineering. He was an avid WVU and Cincinnati Reds fan. A memorial service will be held at Faith community Church, 299 Grey Flats Rd. in Beckley West Virginia on October 19th at 11 a.m. to celebrate the amazing life he lived. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Blue Ridge funeral home to help pay for final expenses. Please visit www.blueridgefuneralhome.com to leave condolences to the family.
