Huey Rentz

Huey Rentz, better known as “Buddy”, passed away Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at the age of 89. He was born October 3, 1935, in Baker County, GA, to Alvin and Clara Bell Rentz. He grew up raising crops with his family, and later settled and made a life for himself in Greensboro, FL.

Buddy loved to raise horses and drive his tractors. He was extremely proud of his family farm and all of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. He never skipped a chance to teach a young family member a life lesson. Whether it was about horse trading, backing a trailer, cutting down a tree or good business sense, he was always teaching and explaining. Life skills were the most valuable skills to Buddy. Till his last days, he still talked about working, and how he was going to make a dollar off a deal.

He was preceded in death by his parents; children, Pam Steffen, Kathy Marra, Robin Crews; step-daughter, Michelle Clark; siblings, Welton Rentz, Evelyn Hutchens, Thelma Nalls, Ray Rentz, Gwen Wilkins, and Dot Cayson.

Buddy is survived by his children, Angie Pace, Tiwana Rentz-Garcia, Nicki Morales; step-children, Wallace Edenfield and Alberta Edenfield; sister, Catherine Taylor; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
