I just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again."

These familiar words echoed the spirit of Mr. Cofield Manley, Jr., affectionately known as "Little Buddy." Whether traveling the highways behind the wheel of his tour bus—where many came to know him by his bus driver name, "Scauldy Dog"—or spending time with family and friends, he truly loved being on the road.

It has become the solemn duty of S. Jones Funerals and Cremations to announce the earthly departure of Mr. Cofield Manley, Jr. On August 2, 2026, "Little Buddy" peacefully exchanged the keys to his tour bus for the keys to God's eternal Kingdom while resting comfortably in the home of his beloved sister. 

A Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2026, in the chapel of S. Jones Funerals and Cremations.

A Service of Comfort will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2026, immediately following the visitation.
