Michael,
Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced. Losing you has been a hard thing that Ive had to grieve. I wasnt ready to say goodbye. None of us were prepared to bury a brother in blue. Your friendship was a brotherhood. We were not ready to let you leave. I would give anything for just one more day, just one more second to talk to you. But Ive learned to trust in unconditional love. Because the one profound thing about death is that love never dies. Some bonds cannot be broken. Because even though youre not physically here, your heart is it lives on within others. They carry your heart inside them. We carry it on days when we discover a memory at work. Your family carries it on days when beauty unfolds in the most unexpected places. Others carry it on days when they find courage to heal and to grow. All carry it with us always. Someday we will meet again and we will no longer be separated by time or space. But until that day, We will find comfort in knowing that you are still with us. Your heart safely tucked inside each family and friend. Some hearts just belong together and nothing will ever change that. We loved you then. We love you now. Always did. Always will. Forever in our mind. Forever in our heart. We will carry you. Spread those wings and FLY! Thank you for always being you.
Praying for comfort and peace for Mr. and Mrs. Bui, Nelson, Angie, Jade, and Jewel Bui, Anna and Aaron Creech,the twins and Lucas Bui and Christina Brown Bui.

Michael, or Bui as I referred to him as, was my friend. And I don't say that lightly. He was someone who I knew deep down inside was my true friend. It hurts my soul to have to write this today, but it's also a great honor. Mr Bui and I met at a time in my life where I too was battling a battle not everyone knew about. Mr bui wasthe one person who didn't jugde me for it but who's soul purpose was to let me know that he's for me and not against me as where anyone else who seen me struggling would either be little me or shame me. But Michael was there to encourage me to do better. He was a God send at times God knew I needed a trusting and compassionate Friend in my times of darkness and orrow. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Bui. Words can't describe the way I feel About his passing . He's a perfect example of what a beautiful soul who's jobs to make sure everyone around him gets taken care of first, but often we forget to take care of us. With so much laid upon my heart right now, I'm going to end this with God bless his family in this time of grief and in need of comfort. And may you rest in peace Michael Bui

When you feel you have shed the last tear, there will be one more. Simple things will bring a torrent of memories. Your love of him will go on. His love for you will never end.

My sincerest condolences for all the Bui family. I've known this family since they first moved to Texarkana. I admired very much Michael's grandparent's Cay Dinh Bui and Mi Thi Le (who passed in 2016 & 2014). I think they are among the very bravest people I've ever met. We are friends of Kristen Bui and Mai Linh who hold a most special place in my & my husband's hearts. We grieve with you at the loss of this precious son and will continue to hold you closely in our hearts.

My heart goes out to all of Michael's loving, warm, extended family. I cannot imagine the grief you are feeling at this time. Michael was a wonderful spirit and personality. While he worked at the Miller County Sheriff's office, I had an occasion to need his help and he went above and beyond to treat me with solid advice and kindness. My prayers are with you all.

Our most sincere sympathy to the Bui family. I have known Thomas & Mary since the 1970s and saw the boys grow up learning from Thomas. They were so precious. I later met Michael when he was a deputy and he was such a nice young man.
I am heart broken for the Bui family for the loss of Michael Tuan. My prayers are with you for healing and knowing you will be reunited in Heaven.
Rest in Peace, Michael Tuan Bui.

Officer Bui was kind enough to bring my brother to see our mother when she was dying. He was so gentle with my mom and so kind to my brother when he did not have to be. From the moment he came up I could tell he was very different. I have respected him ever since and I pray that God will bless you and your family with fond and loving memories of him forever. May God hold you and keep you in the wings of his angels.

Michael was always there to call or text just to say hi, how is your day, or send a funny meme, and now that one person you care so much about, been thru so much with, and unknowingly put my life on hold for, I will never see his face, hear his laugh or see his smile again. I just cannot comprehend. I am so broken. He will ever never be forgotten.
