Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another post. So, I saw something the other day that really got me thinking, and I just had to share my little journey of discovery with y’all.
I was scrolling through my feed, you know, just the usual stuff, when I stumbled upon a post about this guy, Buck McNeely. Now, I’d heard the name before, he’s the host of that outdoor show, “The Outdoorsman with Buck McNeely”. Turns out, the post was saying he had passed away. Yeah, pretty heavy stuff.
So, I got curious. I started digging around, trying to find out more about what happened. The first thing I found was a Facebook post from his son, Max McNeely. Man, that post was a punch to the gut. He said his dad, Buck, died in his sleep on January 7th. You could just feel the pain in his words, talking about how losing his dad was like “watching Superman die”. That line really hit me.
Then I started looking for news articles, and I found a few from this place called KFVS, which I guess is a local news station in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. They all confirmed the same thing – Buck McNeely passed away in his sleep at his home. He was 63, born on September 27, 1960. I even found out he was married to a lady named LaDonna Kay Sims since 1991.
Here’s what I gathered from all this digging:
- Name: Jon Steven “Buck” McNeely
- Age: 63
- Date of Death: January 7, 2024
- Place of Death: His home in Cape Girardeau County
- Cause of Death: Passed away in his sleep
- Known for: Hosting “The Outdoorsman with Buck McNeely” TV show
- Family: Survived by his son, Max McNeely, and his wife, LaDonna Kay Sims
It’s always a bit of a shock when someone you’ve seen on TV passes away. Makes you think, you know? One day they’re there, sharing their passion with the world, and the next… they’re gone. It’s a reminder that life is precious and unpredictable.
Final thoughts:
This whole thing got me thinking about how important it is to appreciate the people in our lives and to live each day to the fullest. You never know what tomorrow might bring. Anyway, I just wanted to share this with y’all. It’s a sad story, but it also made me reflect a bit on life. Take care, everyone, and hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight.
