Andrew “Buck” Keene- 23
Of Valdosta, Georgia passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 14, 2025 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Andrew was born on January 23, 2002, to Laura and John Byrd in Valdosta, Georgia. Buck was a warm-hearted soul who truly loved life. He was deeply caring and always made those around him feel valued. Buck had a passion for the simple joys — casting a line on a quiet lake, cruising down dirt roads on his four-wheeler, and tinkering with his beloved old trucks. His love for the outdoors and the people he shared it with spoke volumes about the kind of man he was. He is preceded in death by his aunt and uncle: Leslie and Nathan Davis. Survivors include his parents: Roger Sr. and Debra Keene of Valdosta, Georgia; mother and stepfather, Laura and John Byrd of Valdosta, Georgia; siblings: Emily Byrd, Levi Byrd, Abby Byrd, Elizza Register, and Braylee Register; uncle, Roger Keene Jr. of Valdosta, Georgia; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.
