Michael John Mcmahon

Michael John McMahon 65 of Atco, NJ peacefully passed surrounded by his family on Monday, July 5, 2021 after a battle with aggressive cancer. Michael was born in Adrian Michigan and graduated from Casa Grande Union High School in Arizona, later residing in New Jersey and settling in Atco for the last 36 years. Michael worked as a diesel mechanic at Johnson & Towers Inc and recently retired on May 24, 2021 after 38 years. He was a hard worker, super ambitious, and extremely knowledgeable; he took great pride in his field of work. In his spare time Michael enjoyed the outdoors. He grew a large vegetable garden each year and enjoyed feeding the birds and deer that would visit his yard. He also enjoyed sitting on his deck with a cigar listening to music and whistling along. Michael also spent any free time that he had with his family that he absolutely adored. Michael was a man of very few words but when he spoke, you listened. Michael was a devoted husband and loving father but his most favorite role was being a granddad. His infectious laugh will be deeply missed by his friends and family. Michael is survived by his wife of 40 years Karin (Peggs) McMahon. Loving father of Heather (Michael) Principe, Krista (Nicholas) Arnold, and Jennifer (AJ) Berenato. Proud granddad of McKenna, Brynlee, Luca, Sofia, and Anthony. He is also survived and will be forever missed by his brothers Patrick (Judy) McMahon, William (Jackie) McMahon, and sisters Ruthann(Tony) Verbanic, Cynthia (Doug) Lewis, and nieces and nephews. The family will be having a Celebration of Life for Michael on Saturday August 7 at 12pm at Villa Fazzolari 821 Harding Hwy., Buena.
