Christian "Buddy" Edward Husing
Buddy grew up in Rock Port, Missouri, where he attended and graduated school. After graduation, Buddy worked with his dad at Bud and Buddy Husing Texaco station.
Buddy was united in marriage to Diana Bradley in 1963. To this union Angela Gail and Travis Hays were born. They later divorced. In 1982, Buddy was remarried to Sharon Peterson. They eventually divorced.
Through life experiences, Buddy discovered his talent and passion for carpentry. In 1982, he established Chris Construction where he devoted over 30 years to building and remodeling for people in the Atchison County area. Buddy was highly skilled in the trade, and people often sought his craftsmanship and advice.
In 1999, Buddy married Pam (Trivelpiece) Corken. With this marriage he gained three stepchildren, Trent, Erica, and Kaitlea Corken. After hanging up his tool belt, Buddy began working for Do It Best Hardware where he shared his knowledge with customers, and stories with anyone who would listen.
When Buddy didn’t have a hammer in his hand, he enjoyed fishing, attending car races and air shows, flying model airplanes, scratching scratch tickets, and spending time with his family. Buddy’s generous and kind heart couldn’t look past someone in need. He could often be found helping those in need, never expecting anything in return. Buddy never knew a stranger and had a passion for telling long stories.
Buddy passed away Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at his home in Rock Port.
