Michael "Buffy" Holloway, 63, of Warsaw, passed away at 12:42 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, with his loving fiancée' at his side at Mason Health and Rehabilitation of Warsaw.
On May 16, 1961, Michael Dean Holloway was born in Rochester to Lester D. and Clara Foley Holloway. Growing up, he shared his childhood with two sisters and a brother. Proudly, he graduated with the Class of 1980 from Tippecanoe Valley High School.
Gifted with his hands, over the years, Michael was a welder and fabricator. He had also been a crane operator. Michael had a love for charity work, especially Christmas baskets for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He was the former Fulton County rep for A.B.A.T.E. Buffy enjoyed catching the limit of fish for the day at beautiful Lake Manitou. Some of his fishtails included landing a 52# flathead and an 18# on a test line. Enjoying the breeze, Buffy often rode his Harley Davidson, a black- gold Roadster to Bean Blossom. He was all about the 2nd Amendment, our rights to keep and bear arms.
Spending tender moments enjoying the scenery of Pike Lake and occasionally sunsets was a favorite activity that Teresa and Michael shared. He loved watch all football games but especially the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Left to cherish Michael's memory are his fiancée, Teresa Brown; heart son, Jason Brown; sister, Debbie Bowyer, and sister-in-law, Janice Brown, all of Warsaw; and several nieces and nephews including special nephew Jaime Bowyer.
Preceding Michael in death were his parents; a sister, Rose McVay; and a brother, Dan Holloway.
