Harold Edward “Buddy” Gibbs, 78, passed away Saturday, May 28, 2022, at his home in Lawrenceburg, TN. He was born on January 24, 1944, to the late Flournoy “Flick” Gibbs and Jewell Peppers Gibbs.
He graduated from Lawrence County High School in 1962. After high school, Buddy moved to Nashville and married Barbara Patterson. They made their home in Mt. Juliet, TN for more than three decades. He was a member of Green Hill Baptist Church and later Tulip Grove Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon. Buddy had a lifelong love of music and over the years had close friendships with many top Nashville session musicians. He enjoyed camping, boating, and water-skiing, and spent many summers with family and friends at Center Hill Lake.

There he and his brother Larry bought the former Salant & Salant Shirt Factory building and opened Jewel River Art. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
