Higgins Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mickey Wayne Buchanan.
Dear Zeldra and Family,
Mickey was one of the best. He, along with his precious mom and dad, were always so kind and helpful to our Grannie Wade and our uncles, Walter and Ellis. That love and kindness will never be forgotten. Howell really is a different place now without all the old familiar faces, but they are all in Heaven celebrating.
Mickey was a year older than I and a grade ahead. I remember him being a suchca nice guy. Sending my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
So sorry of hearing of Mickey passing. Sending my prayers to all of his family.
