Charles Louis “Buzzy” Mahan, 70, of De Leon, Texas passed away on August 15th, 2026, in Odessa, Texas. Buzzy was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend.

Buzzy was born in De Leon, Texas to Hannah Lou Brumbelow and James Gayle Mahan on June 20th, 1956. He graduated from De Leon High School and was a proud member of FFA and the De Leon Bearcats.
