At an early age he knew he wanted to travel the world and see what this life could bring him. Bueman enlisted in the U S Air Force at the age of 21 where he began to plant roots in California.
He married Charletta Jones on March 24, 1973, in San Luis Obispo, California. Soon after marrying, he became an ordained minister. Bueman was blessed with a large and loving family. With his love for God and family, he and Charletta had blended family of 14 children. He helped to raise his children with discipline, structure, and love. With his military career, he was afforded the opportunity to travel the world. After his many years of service, he and Charletta relocated to Cusseta, AL. He and Charletta was married for 28 years before her untimely passing. He later married Joyce Jones on April 12, 2003, where they remained married for 20 years.
Through his love for traveling, he was a man well known and never met a stranger. Although many would describe him as a stern man, he would never let that be your last thoughts of him. He was a man that loved to talk to anyone that would listen and enjoyed speaking about the many wonders of this world, both spiritually and physically. Bueman was an advocate for learning, education, and an avid reader. His hobbies were fishing, accumulating his many trinkets, and fixing things. If you knew him, you know he thought everything could be saved because he saw the value in even the smallest of things.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Charletta Jones of 28 years; father, Eddie B. Jones; son, Isaiah Jones, and brother Terry Jones.
