Michael Wilson, 66, of West Mifflin, was born September 26, 1958, in McKeesport, PA. He was the beloved son of the late Willis C. and Pearl E. Dixon-Wilson. He was the middle child (the eldest between him and his twin brother).
Michael was known as “Peter-Mike”. He was indeed a jokester. “Peter-Mike” really missed his calling as a stand-up comedian. Wherever he would go, laughter was sure to follow. He was truly a social butterfly. “Peter-Mike” never met any strangers. He would always make you feel like you were a part of the family. He was an entrepreneur. Family and friends knew if he had it, you had it too. If you needed help, he would help you without asking any questions. He loved his family. You were always known as “his favorite cousin when no one else was around.”
Mike was known for these four things: his cooking, because he could outcook most cooks in Pittsburgh, and his gardening. “Peter-Mike” was an extraordinary farmer. He loved travel, which included fishing. Mike loved his family.
After graduating from Duquesne High School in 1977, he obtained employment at Westinghouse Air-Brake. He later worked for Homewood Suites, a job that he really enjoyed. He later ventured out to local bars, where you would find him cooking and making people laugh.

In his early years, he could often be found roller skating with friends & family as well competing in roller dance events with his partner and wife at the time, Ginny. He spent countless hours around trains, which fascinated him from an early age. He also enjoyed riding motorcycles on open roads and casting a line into his favorite fishing spots, simple pleasures that would remain lifelong passions. He was a dedicated Scoutmaster whose quiet strength, guidance, and unwavering commitment shaped generations of young lives, his legacy of service will live on in every Scout he mentored. As the years went on, he developed a deep love for camping at Big Bear Lake, WV where he spent most of his summers after his retirement with his wife, Dawn. He enjoyed many vacations to Myrtle Beach where he could be found metal detecting for hours, always on the lookout for the next hidden treasure or simply sitting on the balcony enjoying his gin & tonic and doodling
in his notebooks. He enjoyed many game nights with his dear friends who lovingly called themselves the B*tches. He was also a proud firearms enthusiast with a well-loved collection, appreciating both the history and craftsmanship of each piece. Above all, Sam cherished time with family. He created a lifetime of memories filled with love, laughter, and togetherness. His legacy will live on through the stories and the traditions passed
down through generations. Sam is survived by his cherished wife, Dawn Wolfram, adoring children Dyana Wood, Sarah Knight (Seth), his step-daughter Brandi Wolfram, his grandchildren, Ryan Schafer (Kayla), Madison Haley-Wood, Ashleigh Cornish, Lucius & Atticus Knight, his great-granddaughters Kambri and Kinley, his devoted sister, Melanie Wood, his favorite nieces Janine Pagano (Nic) and Jennifer Guncheon (Matt), his great-nephew Jonas and his fur niece, Izzy. He was preceded in death by his parents Samuel and Edith Wood and his favorite cousin and best friend Gary Kish. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to physicians and especially his nurses Julia and Jenna, who provided compassionate care during his stay at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. Their kindness and support will never be forgotten. Per his wishes, no services will be held. The family encourages those who knew him to honor his memory in their own way, whether by enjoying the outdoors, taking a quiet ride, or simply spending time with loved ones.
