Michael W. Buchanan; Aug 28, 1953 to Sep 24, 2010


Michael and I were married in November of 1993 and would have celebrated our 17th Anniversary this November. Although we made the personal choice to live separately in the Spring of 2007, we had remained friends through everything; in reality there were a lot of happy times during our 17 year relationship and we chose to remember those times and to value the friendship that we had known from the beginning.

Although he was a life long resident of Baytown, Texas; he had been a resident of New Waterford, Ohio from 2000 until July of 2009 when he decided to return to his hometown of Baytown, Texas. He had worked mostly in the metal painting and fabrication industry during his residency in Ohio, his last place of employment was with EPCO of Boardman from 2004 until 2009.

I will always consider Michael as a friend and I will always miss him.

The official obituary was published as follows:
