Dwight is survived by his children, Sean (Amy) Yocum of Moon Twp., Jennifer Yocum and fiancé, Jake Meier of Murrysville, and Mark (Tracy Steele) Yocum of Coraopolis; seven grandchildren, Michael and Matthew Galloway, Jacob, Jessica and Zachary Yocum, and Jake and Julia Meier; brother, Glenn (Beth) Yocum of Erie; two nieces and a nephew. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Karen, in 2004; and most recently a son, Lance A. Yocum, in April of 2011, whom he greatly missed. Visitation COPELAND'S, 867 Fifth Ave., Coraopolis, on Tues. from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The family is asking that donations be made in Dwight's name to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western PA, 1501 Reedsdale St., Ste. 105, Pgh., PA 15233.
