Michael “Mike” Buell

Michael “Mike” K. Buell, 72, Warsaw, passed away quietly Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at Kosciusko Community Hospital, Warsaw. He was a lifetime Warsaw resident.

Born May 13, 1950, Mike recently celebrated his 72^nd birthday. He was born in Warsaw, the son of Charles and Marvel (Galloway) Buell, both of whom preceded him in passing. He was a 1968 Warsaw High School graduate and went on to spend more than 40 years with Rohm-Haas. He spent much of his career in the powder coating and shipping departments.

Mike was an ornery person with a good sense of humor. He was sometimes hard to read and incredibly sarcastic but, beneath his gruff exterior, he had a heart of gold. He previously enjoyed mushroom hunting and enjoyed sports of all kinds. He was a charter member of Sons of the American Legion, Post 49 and loved crime shows like “Forensic Files.”

Mike was married to Doralee Hurd on December 31, 1998; she survives in Warsaw. Also surviving are his two sons, Daniel Buell, Milford and David Buell, Warsaw; stepsons: Elijah (Alissha) Shepherd, Warsaw and Brian Shepherd, Fort Wayne; stepdaughter, Kristie (Steven) Osbeck, Warsaw; brother, Jeffrey Buell, Warsaw; and ten grandchildren.
