Don't think of him as gone away,His journey has just begun. Life holds many facets the earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrow and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he be wishing that we could know today,how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched,for nothing loved is ever lost. And he was loved so much.

My condolences goes out to my Cousin's and the rest of the Buchanan Family.

It was my greatest honor to work under your leadership. You are definitely a man of great strength. I admire and appreciate your generosity that has enabled many to make steps on a platform which few has trod. I anticipate the lingering effects of your hard work,you are definitely a visionary who saw much. God bless u Mr Buck. Walk good.

It was my greatest pleasure and honor to have worked and laughed with Donald Barrington Buchanan. He always gave me encouraging words and hence I learnt so much from him especially about politics. He was always there for our family. He taught us at work the "Big Bird Dance" and he was just a good person who gave his all for the people of South West St. Elizabeth, his family and Jamaica at large. Sir I miss hearing your demanding voice but I know you are resting peacefully in the Father's arms. To Charmaine and Prince, my cousins, Mrs. Buchanan, Junior, Bubbles, Randy, Junior, Hugo and Donna keep the faith and his memories close to your and always remember how much he loved you all. Rest in peace Sir!!!! Love you always!!!

grandpa i am going to miss u alot....and may your soul rest in peace...love always your grandaughter jameelah buchanan

Dearest Dad, my friend, my guide, my strength your passing have left me with a hollow existence, my heart is completely broken and I find my self surrounded by a darkness no light could ever fill. But I must look at the mountain of precious memories, the moments that took my breath away and the way you love me to uplift myself.

You will forever be my hero and I love you dearly.

May your blessed soul rest in peace and God's eternal light always shine upon you.

Forever in my Heart.
You will be remembered with Love Gratitude and Nuff.. NUff...NUFF... RESPECT.

I remember it well, a hot July day in1990. I received a call from Donald Buchanan informing me that my nephew, CJ Moxam, had just been born. My brother, Earl, had asked him to convey the message. It was my first (and only) time speaking with the man affectionately known as "Danny Buck." It was a “pinch me,” moment and I can still “hear” his voice in my head today.
Like Michael Manley, there was poetry to Danny Buck’s verbal prose; and I was honored to have had the brief telephone encounter with this man who had served as part of my political awakening.

Quite literally, he's part of a dying breed. He served memorably and honorably in an era not known as our best -- and had the bearing of a prince…charming. It is only fitting then, that I say goodbye as Horatio does in Shakespeare's "Hamlet:" "Good night sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest….”

Our condolences goes out to Charmaine (kash) and Prince Buchanan on the passing of their father Danny Buchanan. Words cannot express our heart felt sympathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you both. God will give you courage and strength to carry on.


Love,
Doreen & The Bennett Family of Toronto Ca.

Beautiful garden where have you gone
My self-delusions are leaving me in the storm
Some where I lost all, control came crashing down

I'm so brokenhearted
No where left to run
No where left to go

Beautiful morning please don't wake me from my sleep
Cuz I need some comfort to regain my sanity
I don’t wanna feel this crazy, I don't wanna feel discarded
Shattered into million pieces


I swear that everyday I feel like my mind is haunting me
maybe I should have stayed longer; maybe I should have been there
There were so many things that we could have said

I’m so empty inside and my tears I can’t hide
All I do is count the days….. And ask how this could be

Last night we lay together,
You touched my hair and said child its ok
The whisper of your voice still lingers in my ear


I woke this morning and could feel you near
So I smiled, with every tear that I cried




My grandfather and I shared a relationship and bond that only distance and time could separate. If you know me, you know that I LOVED my papa like no other. We lost our beautiful rose, your sweetheart, Gurda in 2002 and life was never the same. Your passing brings back the pain and anger I felt just yesterday.

My grandfather was my inspiration; I always wanted to follow in his steps.
I told him every chance I got how much he made me want to do better and be better. Every call, every visit ended with the sweet words I LOVE YOU. I remember one time I called him and a few minutes into the call, he said “Chantal I’m driving into Black River”. I smirked and said grandpa, youuuuuuu drive. We laughed for what seemed forever and I said ok, I will call you back big DRIVA.

One night on the phone I said grandpa, you know I love you and I think of you as my dad….. I’m going to get married, would you walk me down. You said you would be honored and I cry knowing now that day will never be ours.

On September 18 2010, we sat outside your house and you quoted Psalm 131

LORD, I have given up my pride and turned away from my arrogance. I am not concerned with great matters or with subjects too difficult for me. Instead, I am content and at peace. As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms, so my heart is quiet within me. Israel praise the Lord.

I looked to you after and said you don’t fret? In this calm and angelic voice you looked in my eyes and said "oh no, the Lord has been very good to me all my life, so it’s not for me to question what he does".

"I’m glad to see my grand kids, daughters, sons, family and friends".


Your legacy will forever live on.

LOVE YOU & MISSING YOU

We regret the passing of our dear comrade Danny Buch. He was of great inspiration to everyone. Words cannot express the way we feel about his passing.

This is coming from Althea Ricketts and family.

Will the funeral for Mr. Buchanan be public?

Our Condolences go out to Dorothy and the rest of the Buchanan Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Will give you strength to carry on.



From Ferdie & Chichi Blake & the Honeyghan Family

we would like to convey our sincere condolences to wife Dorothy Buchanan, children and other relatives on the passing of comrade Danny Buchanan. He was a true son of south-west St.Elizabeth and Jamaica, we can surely say we lost a great son.

R.I.P Comrade Buck.


From Doreen & The Bennett Family

why not, he dealth with the public for more than
half of his life, he would be sad if something like that should happen.

Chantal Buchanan, are you Kash's daughter? The words you wrote above are very moving and I think if you stay focus, you could do great things just as your grand-dad did.

May the words of God comfort you all while you are grieving.

It appears your grand-dad accepted whatever would happen and he is at peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
We are sorry for your loss.

To Charmaine (Kash) and the rest of family, such a sad and painful time for you but through it all, remember God is with you each step of this grieving process. May you feel God's comfort and peace in those darkest moments when you think the sun will never shine again. My prayers are with you so embrace God's peace as He comforts you. (Kash I have a picture of you from Geneva Primary, I believe the last time we have seen each other, still think of you as my little friend.. I never forgot you..stay strong)

To: Dorothy and the Buchanan Family.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about the passing of Danny. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss and remember that our thoughts are with you, the family and all who mourn his passing, during this difficult time. He will be everlastingly missed.

DANNY:

God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me."

With tearfull eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Walk good Danny and remember 'Hear! Hear!"

From your dearest friend, Merv

My Deepest Sympathey goes out to Mrs.Buck,Kash,Prince and the rest of children also to the entire Buchanan Family of the passing of Mr.Donald Buchanan.

Coming from a diehearted Socialist.

I extend sympathy to Mrs. Dorothy Buchanan, Danny's children and the entire Buchanan family in southwest St. Elizabet.Among the highlights of Danny's life was his devotion to public service and helping people to improve their lots in life. His work as a trade unionist and politician are symbols that stood him out as a vibrant community leader even if one did not always support his views.

Danny will be remembered as a formidable minister of government and a ruthless trade unionist whose vociferous and vibrant representation has helped to improve the lives of many Jamaicans.May his soul be like a diamond among the stars of heaven

I extend my deepest sympathy to the entire Buchanan family you are in my prayers.
To my dearest sister Charmaine and my brother Prince I don't know what more I can say. My heart goes out to you both. We know what it is like to loose a parent, It's only God alone who can help you to "stand". You know that your dad loves you very much. Please take care of each other. Donald was a very great man. He never made me feel like an out sider. I was loved and welcome in the family. Unlce Luta and Aunty Dita's home was our home. We had some great times together there as children. I will never forget those days.
Danny, I am glad that I had a chance to speak to you before you leave us. Your voice was strong and encouraging as always. I know that you are with the Lord.
Donald will be greatly missed by us all. You can't be replaced.

Love you, May your soul rest in peace
