Hilton Buchanan, Jr., a Dumas, AR resident, transitioned from this life on March 28, 2021. Mr. Buchanan was also co-founder and co-owner of Karamel Natural Hair Care (est. 2009), in St. Joseph, MO, where he resided from 2006 to 2019.

Though the married couple separated in 2018, they remained cordial and had hopes of building a lasting, co-parenting partnership.
Kristina: “T’Anna still loves the bike you bought her for Christmas, but Luna gnawed one pedal (smile). T’Asia starts college in the fall at the local university. These are things the girls wanted to tell you, and just assumed there’d be time to do so……rest well, Sir. I honor you, Hilton. One parent to another. You’ve played a Huge role in their…. outcome. I could Not have done it alone. Eternal Peace to you!!l!”
