William Douglas “Buddy” York passed away on January 3, 2021 in Brinkley, AR. Buddy was born to Evie and Coy York on October 27, 1935 in Mayflower, AR.

Buddy is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Juanita and his brother Wayne. He is survived by his daughter, Michelle Pusateri and her husband Terrell who he loved like a son, his daughter Angela Renee Lollie, his sister Sheila Lovil and her husband Charles, his sister Vickie McCammon and brother Coleman York and his wife Tammy, and his many nieces, nephews and grandchildren.

Buddy was a kind and generous man. In his younger years be spent much time with family and friends and loved having them all gathered at his home. In his later years he became ill and could no longer enjoy entertaining his friends. He loved his two daughters with all his heart and never failed to say so. He always said not to worry about whatever wrong anyone else may be doing, just work hard and do the right thing. He tried to see the good even when there was no good to see. He was in pain towards the end of his life but still tried to maintain a household and tell others not to worry about him.

Unfortunately, for those friends and extended family who were not advised of his passing, there was no service or obituary at the request of his wife. We did not get to say goodbye to our father, brother, and friend. The funeral home of Bob Neal and Sons in Brinkley, Arkansas refused to provide information to his family.

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to this good man. For his daughters, we are left with the wonderful memories and life lessons that he provided for no one can take those away. May he now be happy and at peace.
If you were a friend or family and wish to pay tribute, I invite you to plant a tree in his name. It can be in your own yard or wherever you would like.
