Charles "Buck" F. Engle

February 18, 1945 — January 20, 2023

Charles 'Buck' Engle, age 77 of Burkesville, KY passed away peacefully with family by his bedside on Friday January 20, 2023.


Born in Corbin, KY, Buck was a US Army Veteran of the Vietnam War and was retired from General Electric, Co. He had a multitude of jobs throughout his life but was best known as the bouncer at The Sawmill in TN. Everyone knew Buck; he was unforgettable and truly one of a kind.


He was preceded in death by his parents, Jeanette Rose and Clarence Engle,

his loving, devoted wife of 43 years, Lisa Kem Engle, beautiful daughter Jennifer Engle, his 3 beloved dogs, sister Cindy Hoskins, and brother Clayce Engle.


Buck is survived by his daughter, Rhonda Bostock, brothers, Ivan Engle (Jill), Patrick Engle, Archie Engle, sisters, Beverly Fitch, Leesa Engle, and Maria Buckner. Nieces, Tabitha Engle-Miller, Jodie Engle, and Mary Ansel, nephew Darrie Engle, beloved cat Kitty Girl, and other family members and friends who mourn his passing.


At Buck's request a private service will be held for family and close friends at Resthaven Cemetary in Corbin, KY at a later date to be announced.


A very special thanks to his caregiver, Deanna Griffen for the loving, caring attention she gave to my dad and for being his 'buddy' and to the wonderful healthcare staff at Hospice of Lake Cumberland and VA Case Manager, Jennifer Parker.
