Ever thankful for your friendship, as you were sincerely everyone's "Buddy." Always sharing a kind word, a "pep" talk, a business idea and your faith, we are assured you are truly at peace, in His arms. I will miss you, Buddy. I will always remember your love of family and friends, especially your daughters who were truly your priority in the 8 years I have known you. You were such a perfect example of "paying it forward", I am truly a better person for having known the gift of you.

My condolences to the Cancienne family. I knew Buddy from our days playing baseball and basketball together at Rebel Park in Chalmette. Buddy was always helpful to me later in life with car stuff and I'll never forget him. RIP Buddy.

Sending my deepest sympathies to Buddy's family and friends. I haven't seen him in a long time besides through facebook. Loved his pics of him with his girls. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age. Buddy and I went to grammar school together many moons ago. God bless and RIP BUDDY!

Jenny: I met Buddy through my daughter and son (Angie & David Vercher). He was so full of life and such a wonderful daddy. I know that your heart is broken. But as you grieve, know that Jesus is well acquainted with your pain and heartache and He is the great Comfortor. He alone, can give you that "peace that passeth all understanding." Buddy is with Him now and is your treasure in heaven. Beyond thoughts and opinions, beyond today and tomorrow, beyond life...just one thing remains and that is the love of our precious Saviour who knows your grief and sorrow. No words can express the heartache I feel for you and the children. May God's grace strengthen you and may you find true peace and comfort. All of you are in my prayers. Carole Fitzgerald

You just can't meet Buddy for the first time and not have a great first impression...that infectious smile, great personality and work ethic. He was just one of those people you meet and just know they have a good heart and you want to get to know them. Never heard him complain, always willing to give his words of wisdom to help out in any situation...just an all-around great person. Although he was taken from this life far too soon, it gives me comfort knowing that he was in a very happy place in his new life he was building with his new bride and family. May God give his new bride, family and friends comfort, peace and understanding during this difficult time. I have no doubt at all, he is looking down smiling at all of his family and friends, totally amazed at the people that really respected and loved him. RIP...you will not be forgotten. Condolences go out to his family and wife...may God find you the strength and guidance during this difficult time. We may never understand the "why" he had to go too soon from us...but I have no doubt he is in a better place with God, now an angel looking down, smiling at the outpouring of love and support for those of us lucky enough to have met him. RIP my friend...you will be missed.

I met Buddy a few times at work . He came to see Jennifer & brought his girls into meet everyone! What an amazing smile he had & such a beautiful personality! I could tell just from meeting him those couple of times & just talking to Jenny, as we call her: Jenny Can, that he loved and adored Jenny, his girls& Jenny's children. I could tell he was a man of joy & integrity. My heart is so broken for Jen, but I know our GOD has a special plan for Buddy! God bless Jenny , the children & family
