Albert Birdsong's Obituary
Born on July 27, 1952, in Kansas City, Missouri, Buck was the beloved son of Albert Loin Birdsong and Norma Jean Parker. He grew up learning the value of hard work, helping his father build houses, and also worked at the prison in Jefferson City.
Buck was a man who found joy in simple pleasures — he loved scrapping, attending auctions, and was always ready for a game of pool. His greatest love, however, was for his family and his friends, with whom he shared countless memories and an unwavering bond.
He is survived by his lifelong love and partner, Kelly Terrell of Jamestown; his son, Brian Pennington (Brandi Cadwallader) of Eldon; his daughter, Michelle Sneed (Adam) of Panama City, Florida; and his sisters, Patsy Kinnamon of Belton, Linda Hammond (Glenn) of Hannibal, and Melissa Birdsong of Boonville. Buck was a proud grandfather to Andrea Shane (Tyler), Austin Flora (Stephanie), Abby Sneed, Brooklyn Hall (Tyler), and Cadyden Sneed, and a loving great-grandfather to Olivia Shane and Oaklyn Flora.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, John Offield and Chris Offield.
Buck’s legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
