Buford Pusser, the former sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee, and the inspiration behind the film “Walking Tall”, had two children. His daughter’s name was Dwana Pusser, and his son’s name was Michael Pusser. Unfortunately, Buford Pusser’s life was tragically cut short in a car accident in 1974, and his children had to grow up without their father. However, Buford Pusser’s legacy as a no-nonsense law enforcement officer and his fight against corruption have made him an iconic figure in American history. His story continues to captivate audiences and inspire those who believe in justice and standing up for what is right.
