The Tehachapi News 
William “Buck” Buchanan

Sixty-six-year-old William “Buck” Buchanan passed away on April 27, 2005 
leaving behind his beloved wife of 18 years, Julie, his brother Phil, 15 
adoring nieces and nephews, and many friends and acquaintances.

In his professional life, Buck had a distinguished career with the Los Angeles 
County Probation Department. He rose to the position of probation director and 
managed programs at juvenile camps, juvenile hall and a large area office. He 
was an effective leader, respected for his integrity and professionalism.

An 18-year resident of Bear Valley Springs, Buck was an avid horseman, 
involved in equestrian events, causes and organizations. He promoted 
horsemanship to children and adults while serving as president of the Bear 
Valley Buckaroos, an organization that sponsors play days, clinics and cattle-
sorting events.

Buck enjoyed tennis and he served as president of the BVS Tennis Club. He and 
Julie attended St. Malachy’s Catholic Church in Tehachapi.

To his wife Julie, Buck was her best friend, confidant and loving companion. 

Buck was a man of few words but when he talked he had something to say and 
everyone listened.

He was a devoted husband, a loyal friend and a man who embodies honesty, 
sensitivity and good character.

Visitation is at Wood Family Funeral Home on Thursday, May 5 from 3:30 to 5:30 
p.m.

The Rosary will be at St. Malachy’s Church on May 5 at 7 p.m., followed by
