Michael John Buckley's Obituary
Michael John Buckley, age 64, passed away on March 17, 2020 at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. He was born on October 31, 1945 in Price, Utah to John and Nora Buckley.
Michael loved to go fishing! He worked at the University of Utah Hospital as a Surgical Technician, after developing arthritis and when his condition became too severe to carry on as a Surgical Technician he transferred into Custodial Care. Michael was born deaf. Unfortunately he never knew his father, John, who was killed in an automobile accident the night before he was to be deployed into the United States Armed Forces. Michael was extremely determined and independent throughout his life.
He is survived by his Cousins, Lori Howland; Kathleen Maka; EllaMae Riddings; Donna Stowell and Art (Helen) Stowell; numerous Nieces and Nephews; his God-Daughter, Kaylani Corneau and many dear friends from the Lowell Apartments.
