Buster was born November 24, 1935, in White Oak, Kentucky. He passed away in Harlingen, Texas February 20, 2026. Buster’s mother passed away when he was only six years old leading to him and his siblings being placed in the Laurel Mission at Greasy Creek, KY. At the age of 12, Buster set out on his own with the help of his Grandma Lewis and other close friends and relatives. From working in a sawmill to digging his own coal mine, he did whatever needed to be done to survive. At 15, with the help of an uncle that signed papers stating he was older than he actually was, Buster joined the Air Force. This was during the Korean War and upon arrival in Korea his true age was discovered by superiors. Instead of sending him home, he was sent to serve out his enlistment in Okinawa, Japan (four years in the Air Force and two years in the reserves). Upon returning to Greasy Creek, Buster and his grandfather started a friendly competition to see who could make the best tasting moonshine. (Buster said it was his) The authorities did not appreciate the way the contest was being judged and funded by the local consumers. Upon hearing of the impending shutdown of his still, Buster headed south to find his brother Lloyd in Brownsville, TX in 1956 leading to him becoming a shrimper. There will be no local services at this time. Per Busters wishes, he will be cremated and returned to his beloved Greasy Creek in the mountains of eastern Kentucky where his ashes will be spread near a waterfall that was the source for his moonshine still. It was an area he talked about often. You may sign the online guestbook, light a remembrance candle, or send words of comfort to the family of Buster Harris at www.thomaegarza.com.
