Brian Thomas Buck, 59, of League City, passed away at home surrounded by loved ones on Thursday, April 27, 2023.  Born in Chicago, Illinois on September 30, 1963, he was the youngest of four children to Henry Joseph Buck and Dorothy Marie (Fischer) Buck.  Raised in Palatine, Illinois, he was a talented athlete at Fremd High School.  In 1982 he moved to Texas and began a life-long career in carpentry with the construction industry.  After living in Arizona and California, he moved to Oahu in 2007.  While there, he met the love of his life, Vicenta De La Riva.  The couple moved back to the mainland in 2017, and lived in Galveston County.  His skills as a master carpenter were constantly in demand, and he was always active and ready to help others.

His parents and his brother, Michael David Buck, preceded him in death.  Brian is survived by his life partner, Vicenta De La Riva, and his sisters Colleen Marie Buck of Show Low, AZ, and Cathleen Alice (Buck) Smith of Hansville, WA.
