Dewey (Bud/Buster) Tackett was the Director of Operations for NexGen Construction Group, LLC but he was way more than that to anyone who interacted with him. His laugh, his infectious smile, his love, his hugs and his life were contagious. He has left behind a legacy of kindness and character no one matches. A father, son, brother, mentor, uncle, friend, a captain (Bud), cousin, pillar, rock, Superman and so much more. His friends were family. The light of any room. Most of all, he loved his sister, his best friend, his sons, his mom, his brother, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and more.
