Buck White, the legendary founder of the Grammy Award-winning bluegrass trio The Whites, has passed away at the age of 94. The country music world mourns the loss of a true pioneer.
Ricky Skaggs, a country star and husband to White’s daughter Sharon, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook on January 14. A statement from Sharon and White’s other daughters, Cheryl, Rosie, and Melissa, confirmed his peaceful passing at 8 a.m. that morning.
“We are so thankful for his 94 years on this earth,” the message read. “He was a great dad who taught us by example to put Jesus first always.
