Michael Bauchum Obituary

MR. MICHAEL BAUCHUM was born June 21, 1969 to the parentage of Charles and Vallie Bauchum in Longview, TX.

If you knew “Big Mike” you knew he was a cool, laid back, sweet and kind man. He was the life of the party, especially when his “alter ego” comes out. He loved music, sports, shooting pool, just life in general. Most of all he loved his children and especially his beautiful grandchildren. His legacy and the strength he had will forever be with his children and grandkids.

He leaves to cherish is memory: his children, Ladarian, Ashley, Michael; grandchildren, A'laijauh, Terrance, Tristynn, Ashlynn, Elijah, Kason, Landon, Makayla; sisters, Daphne (Mark) George‐Bell and Valerie George; a special friend, Rene Bauchum; aunts, Helen (John) Smith, Vernetta Booker, Laquita Bachum; uncles, Leon Walker, Leophuh Walker, Lonnie Walker along with a host of family and friends, who will missed him dearly
