Lafayette Causey Buford was a chill-spirted, kind-hearted, jovial, student of life. Artistic in his form of expression through his rap music, Lafayette was an inspirer and encourager...One could go on and on describing his charismatic personality and uplifting spirit. Even when he was in pain from his constant battles with different medical conditions, he was asking about how you were doing and encouraging you to just on moving forward. There are many of times that he extended challenges to you to get you to step beyond what you knew. As his brother Keith remembers, he would bet him that he couldn't do something (this was basketball most of the time) so of course you know he had to do it! But the point of this story is that Keith would never attempt a lot if Causey didn't say he couldn't do it. He was encouraging and inspiring to all! Lafayette Causey Buford was born June 19, 1984 to Theodore Roosevelt and Clara Mae Buford in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He passed away October 5, 2017 at home.

Where I have gone I am not so small. My soul is as wide as the world is tall. I have gone to answer the call, the call Of the One who takes care of us all. Wherever you look, you will find me there in the heart of a rose, In the heart of a prayer. On butterflies' wings, on wings of my own, To you, I'm gone, But I'm never alone- I am home.
