Michael C. Dutrow, 72, of Mechanicsburg, passed away on Friday, September 19, 2025, at Penn State Holy Spirit Hospital. Born in Cincinnati, OH, he was the son of the late Kenneth and Christena (Hayden) Dutrow.

Michael was a proud graduate of Mechanicsburg High School, Class of 1971, and worked most of his life as a truck driver. In his free time, Michael enjoyed watching sports, history documentaries, listening to music-especially his favorite band, The Rolling Stones-and cheering passionately for the New England Patriots. His sharp sense of humor, warm personality, and easygoing nature will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Michael leaves behind his sister, Jeanette Dutrow; and his nephews, Dakota and Dylan Dutrow; and many extended family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his high school sweetheart, Jeannie Dutrow; and his siblings, Kenny Dutrow and Patti DiSilverio.

Services will be private.
