It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William F. Buchman, who left us peacefully on July 7, 2025, at the age of 58. Born on November 10, 1966, in Athens, Ohio, Bill, as he was fondly known, was a resident of Canton, Ohio.

Bill was a dedicated Employee working at KMI as a machinist for the aviation field. An avid enthusiast, Bill had a passion for old cars and old ships, often sharing stories of his favorite rides and journeys. His love for these vintage vehicles and vessels was a reflection of his appreciation for the craftsmanship and history behind them. He also loved music and always had it playing in the background.
