Officer Down Memorial Page

Mike Buckner, we were friends in Junior High School and later in High School. We had a rough start but I think that it was necessary, a part of growing up. We tussled and laughed, joked, and played during recess. I look back and can see you wanted to be a Police Officer even back then; I am proud that you managed that dream.
Life and circumstance moved me away and we lost touch and for that I am the one that had a void where you use to be. My memories of you were always a mixed bag, but none that I would trade.
I recall that you and your sister were close and I know that you live on in her memories as you do in all those that you have crossed paths with in your life. To those that knew Mike, we were blessed; to those that will never meet the man, you have missed a rare opportunity.
Saying Mike will be missed is an understatement; his laugh, and his commitment to community and family. I will miss Mike at Class get togethers, I will miss telling him how proud I am that he made a difference, and that we won't have a chance to catch up on 30 years of shenanigans.
Rest in Peace my friend
