Weiblinger

Michael E. Weiblinger Sr., 71, of Adams Township, formerly of Pittsburgh’s North Side, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022.

Born Dec. 11, 1950, he was the son of the late Raymond A. and Ruth N. (Gates) Weiblinger.

He was the beloved husband of Dottie (Roles) Weiblinger, whom he married on Oct. 24, 1970; loving father of Michael (Amy) Weiblinger Jr., Christina (Chad) Rhine, Sharon (Christopher) Warda and Ryan Traeger; loving Pappy/Pap of Anthony, Madison, Riley, Morgan, Ryann, Peyton, McKenzie, Cameron, Reagan, Alaina and Kyle; dear brother of Ray (Betsy), Patty (John), Jimmy (Debbie), Bobby, Stanley (Deborah), Mary (Ed), Stevie (Debbie), Charlie (Marcy), Timmy, Pam (Randy), the late Janet (Mike), and Milo; and the brother-in-law of Dolores (the late Tom), Donna (Bill), Wayne (Sheryl), Denise (Lenny), Shirley, and the late Ron (surviving Diane).

Mike was the strongest, toughest, but kindest man. Every single person he met he impacted in a positive way. He had a heart of gold and loved his family very deeply. He adored his wife Dottie, his childhood sweetheart — married for 51 years. Mike was a provider, protector and such a fighter, as he battled major heart challenges since 1988. He was a walking miracle!

Very caring, patient and hardworking and despite any disabilities, he started a business, Weiblinger’s Residential Care, with his wife, caring for mentally challenged individuals. It surpassed and grew in ways they never imagined and was beyond successful! Everyone knew and loved Mr. Mike and Ms. Dottie.

Mike proudly served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam era.

He was a founding member of Forest Grove Sportsmen Club since the 1980s. He was a jokester and loved making people happy and laugh. He loved to look sharp, and boy did he! He really was a special guy.

Mike was a strong Christian and impacted so many with his testimony. He loved the Lord with all of his heart. Although we are beyond sad that he has left us, it brings us joy knowing he is now resting in the arms of our Savior.
