Luther was a marine, a mechanic, and a handyman. He loved working on race cars (especially with his son, Lucas), fishing, and was an animal lover. He loved to watch movies, and could name any movie as soon as it started. It was a joy for him to spend time with his granddaughter, Alex. He was crazy about his brother, James. When they were younger, he would often take a whipping for his little brother. He could always find something to debate about with anyone. He was always proud of all his children's accomplishments.

Luther is survived by his children: Son, Lucas Ryan Buckley of Crystal Springs; Daughters: Leslie Buckley (Billy Odom) of Wesson, MS, and Kayla Buckley (Dylan Porter) from Brandon, MS.; his grandchildren: Alex Porter, Kaylee Fields, and Brantley Fields; one brother: James Buckley (Tammy) of Brookhaven, MS.

Luther was preceded in death by his wife, Shelia Buckley; his father, Luther Ray Buckley, Sr.; his mother Bobbie Jean Buckley; sisters, Angela Buckley, Jackie Bush.
