Mr. DaeQuann Lee Buckner Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

DaeQuann’s Journey April 29, 1992 – February 11, 2017 DaeQuann Lee Buckner, son of Yanna L. Kent and the late James Lee Buckner, was born on April 29, 1992, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “Dae, Dae Boy, Sexy or Poke,” as he was lovingly called by those who knew him well, would brighten any room he walked into. To know him, was to love him. As a child, DaeQuann kept his parents busy. Some of our fondest memories of DaeQuann include his early niche and ability to dissect insects with the confidence of a skilled surgeon and his eagerness to share those dissecting results with anyone who showed interest. During his childhood, Dae was also known to take bicycles and electronic gadgets apart out of sheer curiosity. He received his formal education in the Harrisburg School District, where as a youth, he attended the Ronald H. Brown Charter School. An avid wrestler, Dae excelled and won many awards and recognitions, including a district championship. His easy manner and quiet strength often had his opponents fooled. He was beloved by those who coached and mentored him. As an adult, Dae also assisted Coach Craig in training other youngsters. In 2012, DaeQuann became a father for the first time, welcoming his daughter, Zion Buckner with Khadijah Morrison. Zion became his light. Dae was known for saying his daughter would be the “First Female Millionaire Wrestler.” During this time, he began his career as a Home Health Aide, discovering that he had a way with the elderly, especially the ladies. In 2015, DaeQuann Lee Buckner II, “D2” was born. Wherever you saw Dae, his children were soon to follow. DaeQuann entered into eternal rest February 11, 2017, at the home of his best friend. He was preceded in death by his father, James Lee Buckner. In addition to his mother, Yanna L. Kent, he leaves to celebrate his life and to cherish precious memories of him and their life together, his two children, Zion and DaeQuann Lee Buckner II; his sisters, Keira Buckner, his twin, Brelyn; his maternal grandparents, G. Jinger Davenport, Lee C. Kent, Jr.; his paternal grandmother, Carla Denson; maternal great-grandmother, Mildred Bethea; his aunts, Briggette Kent, Theresa Chambers, Sonya Anderson-Purdy; his uncles, Elgin Kent and Adrian Buckner; cousins who were as close as siblings, Aysha, Britney, Eren, Jalan, NiKosha and Terran; his great aunts, uncles and a host of other relatives and friends. DaeQuann was also preceded in death by his dear friend, Troy Smith. Submitted In Sorrow and Everlasting Love, DaeQuann’s Family Oh, please don’t feel guilty, it was just my time to go I see you are still feeling sad, and the tears just seem to flow We all come to earth for our lifetime, and for some it’s not many years I don’t want you to keep crying, you are shedding so many tears I haven’t really left you even though it may seem so I have just gone to my heavenly home And I’m closer than you know Just believe that when you say my name I’m standing next to you I know you long to see me, but there’s nothing I can do But I’ll still send you messages and hope you understand That when your time comes to “cross over” I’ll be there to take your hand -Author Unknown-
