Michael Gordon Buckner

On April 4, 2023, Michael Buckner, a devoted husband and a beloved son and brother, passed away at the age of 36 in Fort Worth, Tx. He leaves a huge hole in the hearts of his family and friends who were always entertained by his amusing stories and hilarious sense of humor. He truly brought life to the party.

He was born in Fort Worth, Tx to Mike Buckner and Justine Jacobs Buckner on November 11, 1986. He Married the love of his life, Kaila Buckner, on October 30, 2021 in Fort Worth, Tx.

Michael is at peace and has been reunited with Grandfathers - Larry L. Buckner & Gordon L. Jacobs, Grandma - Bonnie Harrod, and Uncle - R.D. Short. Our heavenly family is rejoicing because the life of the party has arrived.

Michael was known for his heart of gold he wore on his sleeve, his jokes, and incredibly quick wit. He loved to play video games and spend quality time with his wife, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, mom, dad, and friends. He was a hilarious man whose humor would make you laugh until you cried. He was known for speaking the truth and would share his opinion whether you wanted to hear it or not. His vigor for life was evident through his extensive vocabulary and highly proficient use of a variety of four letter words. He loved hard. He loved life and Taco Salads from Taco Casa. No matter the circumstance, you’d leave his presence with a story of something funny or crazy he had said or done. There is so much more that could and should be said about him but, in the end and in everything he did, he made the world around him a brighter and better place. He was a great uncle, a better son, the best friend one could ever want, and an exceptional husband whose love was truly limitless.
