Mike is survived by Patricia 'Pat', his wife of almost 54 years. Brother Tom Buchanan (Robert). Nephews Jack Wolfgram (Kimmie) and Mike Wolfgram (Bel). Great-nephews Jack Wolfgram, James Wolfgram, Evan Wolfgram, and Matthew Wolfgram. Debbie Wolfgram and Cathie Wolfgram. Dave Matty, Jo Ferguson, and Kathy Fernandez.

Mike attended the University of Michigan, where he met Pat. They were married after graduation in 1971.
Mike's career was spent in electronic component sales. He owned a manufacturers' rep firm, Synergetic Technology, Inc.
Mike was a very generous volunteer. He volunteered at golf tournaments, auto races, Ruth Eckerd Hall, and rang the Salvation Army bell at Christmastime.
