Its with tears in my eyes and a saddened heart that I give you Bucks latest update.
update 4/11/16: about 1:30pm they were attempting to change the port for dialysis and during the procedure his stats dropped causing an increase in CO2. He went into cardiac arrest. CPR was performed but unsuccessful. We can hold on to peace knowing he is no longer suffering, won't have to struggle with the deficits from the strokes. I will be sure to share the funeral arrangements as soon as we have them set.

I saw it on facebook. I was very sad. I didn't know him but felt the connection because of all the chevelle people who did. Prayers are with the surviving friends and family.

Today was a great send off for Buck Mercer. The Funeral Home ended up being standing room only for him with I think about 250 people that showed up.
There were 7 Chevelles, 1 El Camino, 1 55 Chevy and a older Hemi Charger. He worked as plant manager at Elmers Concrete in Beaverton, MI where he lived. They had one of the Cement Mixer trucks at the Funeral Home that could've won trophies at any show it entered in. This is the card the funeral home passed out. I think the Reverend mentioned Chevelles not less that 50 time during the service. "Buck, I hope your cruising where the sun is always shinning, the gas tank always full, where speed knows no limits & the road never ends". R.I.P. my Chevelle brother.

I had a Buck Mercer Memorial Trophy made for the NOCC show in Ohio. The trophy will be presented to the Mercer family, to give to the Chevelle of their choice at the show.
The guy that made it is Shaggy LeBlanc of Taylor, Mi. (He also made all the custom trophies for the 2016 Detroit Autorama) When I showed Shaggy the pic of Buck that I wanted on the trophy he cried. I knew this person when I used to live by Beaverton, Mi. He had an extra pic made of Buck so he could put it on his paint booth door. I had no idea what to expect about the trophy. Only 2 things I wanted on it were his picture and something to do with Mountain Dew as Buck loved that stuff. He told me the bottle caps came from Tenn. All the rest are genuine Chevelle parts.
