Bucky resided in Ephrata, however he was raised and educated in Coulee City, graduating from Coulee Hartline High School in 2000.

Bucky enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his children. He was very sociable and not often without a friend by his side. Bucky liked to express his emotions through poetry, he was also known for his enormous collection of swords and dragons.

He is survived by his children Krystal and Bucky Jr. of Yakima, Courtney of Coulee City, his parents Barbara Ashby-McAnulty of Ephrata, and Danny Cariveau of Soap Lake, sisters April Ramirez of Ephrata, Char Char Scott of Moses Lake, brother Danny McAnulty of Ephrata, grandmother Minnie McAnulty of Ephrata, nieces and nephews Sebastian, Jessica, David and Destiny, also several aunts, uncles and cousins, and a host of dear friends, and his one true love Lucy Wade.

We are saddened by the loss of our loved one, however our pain is eased knowing that because of Bucky's generosity, seven other lives will go on.

"To know Bucky, is to love Bucky."

In lieu of flowers, a trust fund has been established with Washington Mutual Bank in care of Barbara Ashby.
