Michael T McMahon's Obituary
Michael T. McMahon of Deland Florida passed peacefully after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Michael was a gentle and loving soul who will be greatly missed by his McMahon, Sgrignioli and Henderson families.
Michael was born in Philadelphia to Edmund and Grace (Markle) McMahon. He attended schools in the Norristown/Plymouth Meeting area, was drafted into the Army and served in Vietnam. After his service, he married Patricia Houlihan of Glenolden, Pa. They moved with their son John McCloskey to Florida in the early 90’s and made their home there. They later shared their home and love with Sean, Brian, Steven and mother Julie Henderson after their father suffered a devastating accident. He became their protector, friend and guide.
He was a beloved and loyal friend and brother to the Sgrignioli family of Plymouth Valley throughout his entire life and experienced many of life’s challenges and joys with them.
He is survived by his loving brothers and sisters: Catherine McMahon, RSM, Sean (Marguerite) McMahon, Edmund (Donna) McMahon, Mary (Jay) DiSanto, Maureen (Bill) Madel; many nieces, nephews, grand nephews and nieces, cousins and dear friends.
A memorial service will be held in Pennsylvania in late January.
