Obituary For Michael Stephen Buckley
The family of Michael Stephen Buckley of Herman’s Island is saddened to announce his passing on July 29th 2023, at the age of 61. Michael was born in Halifax, and he was the son of the late Jean (Kelly) and Jack Buckley. He attended high school at Rothesay Collegiate and University at St. Mary’s where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce. Michael began his career as a manufactures agent in the wall covering industry and he was often referred as the “King of Wallpaper” in Atlantic Canada. He then pivoted his career to the windows and doors sector. In 2012 he moved to Cabot Shipping Supplies as a storage specialist where he formed many meaningful friendships and close business relationships. He was an avid sailor from a very young age and participated and won many competitive sailing races. After many years Michael chose motorboating and golfing in place of rigging and sails, and he was a member of both the Lunenburg Yacht Club and the Bluenose Golf Club. He enjoyed spending his vacations in St. Petersburg Florida where, with his wife he recently purchased a home for the family. He was able to spend three months this past winter with his family and especially appreciated the time with his beloved granddaughter. Michael was often referred by his friends as the life of the party and everyone who knew him loved spending time with him. He will be sorely missed at all of his family gatherings and friends’ parties, where he was witty and always able to make people laugh and enjoy themselves to the fullest. Michael will be lovingly remembered by wife of 36 years, Karen Gordon; daughter Allyson (Bruce Cameron), and son J. Connor (Rossella Calvaruso) along with grandchildren Makenzie and second granddaughter on the way. He will be dearly missed by his brother Jimmy and sister Peggy and many friends. Michael was also predeceased by his brother Billy. A celebration of life will take place at the Lunenburg Yacht Club on Tuesday August 8th at 1 pm. A recording will be available at donaldkwalker.ca following the celebration. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Michael S. Buckley Foundation to help underprivileged children to join the sport of sailing
