Although I did not know Rade Buha personally, I have heard nothing but sincere stories of his thoughtfulness and constant care for his fellow man. His departure has left an empty space and a heartbreaking loss both for the Buha family and the community as a whole.



When it is our time to go, I hope on that day he will be there, amongst the clouds to illuminate our paths like he has touched our very hearts so many times here on earth and help us all travel through those same gates of Heaven that he has.

Rade...,

What can I say, but that you were one of a kind. I don't know anyone that comes close to being the great character that you were. For years I looked up to you, and I even grew my hair long when you did. Our lives will never be the same without you, but you will always be in our hearts and minds.

I Love You Cuz.

Goran.

It still has not sunk in yet.You were one of a kind Rade.It kills me to think that we all lost touch over the last few years for no good reason at all.Now I realize that life is short and that we need to spend more time with our friends and family and not find excuses as to why we can't because life really is short.I miss you brother and I pray for you everyday. J.O.A. Prime forever!!!! CCCC

There are no words that I can say to express my feelings. Here's a guy that I spent the past 20 years with, and in an instant he was gone.



From the birthday parties when we were kids, to going out for our birthdays when we got older, graduations, and having Rade stand up in my wedding...those are memories that Rade and I can no longer share together, but they are the greatest memories that I can have.



As we got older, some of us didn't keep in touch like we used to, but when we saw each other it was just like when we were 18...and the two days that all of the guys would get together will not be the same, May 6th and November 8th, our slavas.



Vjecanaja Pamjat, AshePrime! I'll miss you forever!

The memories we have of you will always be cherished! Your smile and your goofy laugh will remain in our hearts! May God bless your family and give them strength always! We will truly miss you!!!

To my dear friend Rade,

I have known you my entire life and shared so many memories with you. We grew up together, attended the same schools and always had a special connection. Words cannot explain how much you will be missed.

Good bye my dear friend....



My deepest sympathies to the Buha family.

Rade, since I've known you(13 years ago) I have always wished that I had a brother like you. There are too many memories to list, from the picnics at 114th, International, Bishop Noll, Purdue Cal, going out every night of the week. "Rade, I want to know if you can do me one favor... Can you get me on the VIP list in Heaven?" See you soon, buddy.



My biggest condolences to the Buha family. But, any Buha I know is strong enough to get through this ordeal.

Love,

Bobby

Rade...I know you are in a good place now, watching over all those that are close to you. Until I see you again, I want to let you know that you meant so much to so many people, and you will be missed very, very deeply.

Rade was a dear friend to me as well as many others, He had a personality that was his own and unlike any others. Whenever he was around there was always a positive energy in the room....He will be greatly missed and there are so many memories of him that it would take years to talk about them all... my heart goes out to the family that he left behind...

Goodbye Rade. I hope to see you again someday.
