He married Linda Sue Tidwell, and together they had five children. Buddy passed away from lung cancer on May 14, 2013, in Antioch, Tennessee, at the age of 73.
Update (July 10, 2022):
One of Buddy's five children, my double first cousin Beverly (Stafford) Laursen, passed away in 2022. She was born in 1963 and died in 2022. I created a WikiTree page for her, and her obituary can be found at the links below:
Another one of Buddy's five children, his son Ronnie Joe Stafford Sr. (1964–2023), also passed away. I created a Find a Grave memorial page for him, which can be viewed below:
