Michael Thomas Buglione

Michael Thomas Buglione, age 51, of Cincinnati, OH, passed away on Friday, June 5, 2026, at UC Medical Center in Cincinnati.

Born on January 9, 1975, in Cincinnati, OH, Michael spent his life in the city he proudly called home. He worked in General Services at Great American Ball Park, a job that perfectly matched his love of sports and the excitement that surrounded game day. He took great pride in his work and enjoyed being part of the energy and tradition that made the ballpark such a special place for so many fans.

Outside of work, Michael found joy in life's simple pleasures. One of his favorite places to visit was the Cincinnati Zoo, where he enjoyed spending peaceful afternoons surrounded by nature and wildlife. Michael had a kind and easygoing spirit, and he appreciated the moments spent with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Thomas James Schlie, and his good friend, Robert Gambrel.

Michael is survived by his daughter, Morgan Buglione; granddaughters, Harmony Snyder and Ariella Snyder; parents, Anthony Ricardo Buglione and Karen Deane Schlie Buglione; twin brother, Anthony Christian Buglione; niece, Miranda Buglione; and great-nephew and great-niece, Sterling Murphy and Sophia Murphy. He also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will remember him with love.

The family has chosen to celebrate his life privately, and no public services are planned at this time.

Arrangements are entrusted to Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home. Messages of condolence may be written to the family at vankirkgrisellfuneralhome.com.
