Remembering Mike Buckhout-White
![](../images/friendraiser_uploads/1979408537.custom.png)
Thank you for taking the time to visit this page and even consider donating. A year ago I thought of this event as a reminder of Mike and Susan's successful battle and of how the support of family and friends strengthen and reinforce these bonds. Today, it is a bitter remembrance that while this disease is unapologetically cruel, the memories of Mike, and all lost ones, carry us together in a united battle. But this battle needs help, so thank you for that.
Mike lost his battle on December 28th, 2023. After 12 years of remission, this bastard of a disease showed its ugly head last May. It was worrisome news to say the least, but Mike, ever the optimist, was nonchalant and matter-of-fact about it. One successful surgery a month later and I, like many of us, thought whew! I think we were cruelly led into false security with Mike's August scan showing no new growth. But October hit like a ton of bricks with substantial changes. Mike fought hard and was strong through the end and true to his nature ever the jokester making quips that left us cracking up. I miss him. :(
