Age 65, peacefully passed away Tuesday morning with his family at his side. Born in Pittsburgh, Michael was the son of Margaret (Murray) and the late Joseph Dusch. Beloved husband to Eileen (Flinn). The most caring father to Michael (Danielle) Dusch II, Danielle Dusch, and Fekens Dusch. The best "Pap Pap" to his granddaughter, Quinn Rose, and "Pappy" to his favorite pups. He was a loving brother to Jackie (Ben) Bazner, Linda (the late Tommy) Zajac, Darlene, Jimmy (Terry), Paul (the late Maureen), Renee (Rich) Wetmiller, his baby sister Maggie, and sisters-in-law, Kathy and Mary Jane. The favorite uncle to many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Joey and Tommy, his nephew, Justin, his dear cousin, Raymond, and his favorite German Shepherd, Xema.
He was a proud U.S. Navy veteran and Pennsylvania State Constable. He loved the Boss, ice cream from Page's Dairy Mart, and hated flying, although he sucked it up to take a trip with his Quinnie. An eternally selfless man, he volunteered nearly 30 years of his life as a youth football coach. There were few things that made him as proud as how many in the community knew him as "Coach Mike".
