“Ed was so kind. He gave me my first start in TV — back in 2004. THV had a summer Kidcaster campaign and I was selected to do weather one evening that summer. It was an incredible experience that shaped me at just 10 years old, and it put me on a path to a TV career in this market 15 years later,” KATV Meteorologist James Bryan said.
“So sad to hear the news of Ed Buckner's passing. Although we were local television competitors, it was always a friendly competition between us. I am only wishing his family peace at this difficult time,” Chief Meteorologist Ned Perme was quoted as saying, according to a KATV report.
Bucker is currently survived by his wife, four children, and seven grandchildren.
