Michael Edward (Sweeny) Wilson, 72, was born September 15, 1953, in Braddock, PA, to the late Clarence Wilson and Lucille Turner Wilson.
Michael was a husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle, but above all, a family man. Family was something he loved. He cared deeply about the well-being of his children and took pride in watching his family grow physically, mentally, and in spirit. Seeing that growth meant everything to him.
Michael moved through life at his own pace. He was laid back, steady, and comfortable in who he was. He didn’t rush for anyone or anything, and there was something reassuring about that. You always knew where you stood with him. He loved the simple things: fishing, sports in general, and nature movies.
