It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael C. Galbraith, 62, of Guys Mills, who left us on May 17, 2026, at UPMC Hamot. Born on September 27, 1963, in Meadville, Michael was a beloved son of Violet B. Peters and the late Charles E. Galbraith.

Michael attended Meadville Area High School and found his calling in the manufacturing world, working at Channellock and later at Mercer Spring and Wire. He was a proud member of his community, having served as a volunteer firefighter at Vernon Volunteer Fire Department and was a part of the Northwest Turkey Federation.

In his free time, Michael loved hunting, fishing, and riding his 4-wheeler. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his grandchildren: Piper, Rowan, Holden, Matthew, Olyvia, and James. He had a knack for brightening up a room and could often be found stopping by to catch up with friends and family.

He leaves behind his two daughters, Lacey N. Galbraith of Meadville and Paige D. O’Day (Thomas) of Conneautville, his mother Violet Galbraith of Meadville, and his companion Lavaughn Wallace of Meadville, along with Lavaughn’s children, Daniel Shubbuck and Brittney Schley. Michael is also survived by his sisters, Tina Fleek (Kevin), Regina Patterson (Matthew), both of Meadville, and Deanna Wiltrout (Ted) of Conneaut Lake, along with many nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.

Michael was preceded in death by his father and his best friends, Steve and Tracey Elmen, Rick Williams, and Zeke Ladner, as well as numerous aunts and uncles who will be missed dearly.

Family and friends will gather for visitation at the Ryan M. Warren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., located at 544 Chestnut Street, Meadville, on Wednesday, May 20th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

    • We meant Mike and his family over 30 years ago when they moved in our neighborhood, and became friends instantly. Mike was always there to lend a hand whenever anyone was in need and he had a very warm heart of gold. He and my husband spent many times hunting in the woods and fishing on the lake. In later years, we enjoyed his visits to our home, and the many phone conversations we had with him. His kids and grandchildren will be Mike’s legacy because he was the proudest spending his time with them. May his family find peace and comfort in the many difficult days ahead.

  5. Although we were many miles apart I still have great memories of time spent with you. Your love for children and making them laugh will always be your special gift . I love you and will miss you. It’s difficult to think that when I visit back there again I won’t be able to see you. I love you. RIP
