Dyson, Michael D., of Dearborn Michigan, died peacefully on Jan. 15, 2009 in Boston MA with his loving family beside him, after a courageous battle with cancer. Throughout his illness, he continued to be a beacon of hope to others with medical and emotional crosses of their own. He never lost his sense of humor and enjoyed everyday. Michael was born on Sept 10, 1960 to Daniel J. Dyson, Sr. and the late Bobbie J. Dyson. He attended Seymour High School in Seymour, CT. and the University of Indiana. He worked in the roll shop at Severstal Steel in Dearborn, MI. In his spare time he loved making furniture, wood carvings and stained glass pictures. He was also an avid Detroit Tigers and Lions fan. Left to cherish his memory, besides his Father and wife Marilyn, are his adoring children, Rachel Ann Miller and her husband Scott of Florida, and David Thomas Dyson and his fiancée Kristin of Dearborn MI. He also leaves three grandchildren, whom he loved dearly, Bryanna Miller, Ethan Miller and Michael T. Dyson. He is also survived by his loving siblings and best friends: brothers Daniel J. Dyson and his wife Connie, Bruce T. Dyson and his wife Mairale; sisters Jane Dyson and her partner Elizabeth Mauro, and Diane Dyson; four nieces and nephews, Melissa, Jonathan, Joseph and Brooke Dyson, his Aunt Jackie and Uncle Ted, Aunt Marion, and Uncle Doug, several cousins, including his "other" brother Jerry Clegg, and many, many friends.
