Charles C. Buckland

Charles Clarence Buckland, Jr, 33, was called to Heaven on December

15, 2009 to spend eternity with his babies. Charles was born July 28,

1976 to parents Chuck (Lisa) Buckland and Karen Haynes. He married

Amanda Bellaire Albright on May 22, 2004.

Charlie was an amazing human being

with an unprecedented love for his family. Spending time with his

wife, Amanda, daughter, Ayllissa, son Joshua, and baby girl Emma was

his favorite pastime. He was a true family man who would, and did,

give his life for his family without hesitation. He had an uncanny

ability to make everything right in the world with one flash of his

well-known grin.

His love for the outdoors was like no

other. He wasn't truly happy unless he was doing something outside.

He was especially proud of his record breaking bonfires. You could

always count on Charlie to lend a hand, day or night, to stranger or

family. He never met a challenge he could not overcome. If there was

a will, there was a way, and his glass was always half-full. Most

recently, Charlie was employed with Clyde's Concrete and Masonry,

where he loved his job and his employers. A very special bond was

forged with Clyde and Sandra Taylor, his employers, whom he looked on

as family.

Charlie is survived by his best

friend, beloved wife, Amanda, daughter Ayllissa, parents, Chuck(Lisa)

Buckland and Karen Haynes, sister Carol(Terry) Smith, and many aunts,

uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, including special cousin Ken

Dafoe. He was joined in death by his baby girl, Emma and son Joshua.

Many aunts, uncles and cousins have preceded him in death, including

his beloved "Michgan Mom", Pinkie Matts.

A memorial

service will be held at 12 noon Friday at Karrer-Simpson Funeral

Home. Pastor Max Amstutz will officiate. Visiting hours will be

from 10 a.m. until the service time.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be

made to the Buckland Family Trust, available at any Eastern Michigan

Bank branch.
