SIDNEY – On March 22, 2023, Michael passed away at his home in Sidney with his family by his side.

Michael was born on Oct. 28, 1950, in Waterville, to the late Richard McMahon Sr. and Nelly (Gwadosky).

Michael joined the Marines early on in his life. After a tour in Vietnam, he was stationed in Vienna, Austria where he met his future wife Renee. They were married three years later in West Berlin, known today as Berlin, Germany.

Michael loved to serve his country. He served in the Marines and the Army. Michael’s intelligence and skills as a Combat Engineer were high in demand, which lead to Renee and him being stationed all over the world throughout the years. No matter where they were or where they were living, Michael would always open the door and say to Renee, “Honey, I am home!”

Even with all Michael and Renee’s travels, they would always try to visit Maine at least once a year. It just so happened that every time they were able to visit, it was always in the cold weather, though this never bothered Michael.

Beyond being known for his dedication to his family and country, Michael was known for his wonderful sense of humor, his intelligence, having a heart of gold, and his wiliness to always help a person in distress.

Michael was predeceased by his parents Richard McMahon Sr and Nelly McMahon and brother Edward McMahon.

His is survived by his wife Renee McMahon of Sidney, sister Patricia McMahon of Waterville, brother Richard, wife Kim McMahon of Sidney. Michael is also survived by his nieces and nephews; Kelly and Wade Stevens, Mark and Abigail McMahon and James and Megan McMahon.

There will be a Graveside Service with Military Honors announced at a later date.
