Michael Buchanan Memoriam
My brother, today you would have turned 60. You gave so much love in the short time that you had. Almost 42 years later, you are still touching hearts, our poet, our singer, our daredevil. "Thank you for throwing love in the face of my fear." We always remember, we love you forever. Happy Birthday, Michael Scott. Mom, Linda, Kathi, Joe, Liese, Donna, Wendy, Dave, and all of your family and friends

You are lovingly remembered. May your courage inspire those silenced by fear. May your kindness inspire those silenced by greed and hardness of heart to speak the truth. And trust us, Michael, though your jaw is broken, your story is told.

We all learned so much from Michael, during his life and through his death. I will be forever grateful and proud to call him my friend. We lost a young man with a beautiful mind and a kind-hearted soul, who was deeply loved by many. He lived fast, loved fiercely, and played hard. He was a rebel, an artist, a writer, an intellect, and a musician. He will never be forgotten. Love always.

I've never forgotten the first time I met you Michael. We were at Sue Ellen B's birthday party in her parents garage. I think we may have been around 11 and 12 yrs old, maybe 13. You made me laugh so hard I cried. It was love at first sight! Hard to believe almost a lifetime has passed.. I've been fortunate to have seen a few of our friends recently that I hadn't seen in almost as long as since you've been gone.. Liese, Donna and Dave Mills! It was so wonderful to share memories of you with them. We all love you so much, even after all these years.. Happy 60th Michael <3 Wendy

Michael really left a lifelong imprint on my sweet Donnalee... wish I could have known him. There are so few should that impact those around them so positively for so long. R.I.P., my heart goes out to you and yours.
