Michael Sutton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
The beloved son of the late Mary (Grealish) and Albert J. Sutton, Michael is survived by his four loving sisters: Debra Whitaker London and her husband Howard of East Bridgewater, Susan Manley and her husband Kenny of Whitman, Nancy Mullen and her husband Steven of East Bridgewater, and Paula Connolly and her husband Paul of Melrose. He was also loving brother-in-law to the late Charles Whitaker.
Affectionately known as "Uncle Mike" he is lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews Matt, Kristen, Kevin, Jenn, Keith, Kerri and Colin, as well as his great nieces and nephews Charlie, Andy, Brendan, Kylie, Ella, Grace, Aidan, Anna, and Avery.
After graduating from Dorchester High School in 1969, Michael completed coursework at Northeastern University. He worked for many years in the printing industry. In 2003 he began a new career as a blackjack dealer at the Mohegan Sun casino, retiring from there in 2016.
Michael had a passion for Boston sports, horse racing and music. His collection of old record albums, cd's and wide array of memorabilia is truly representative of his devotion to his all-time favorite pastimes.
Michael was deeply cherished by his family. A gentle soul with an infectious laugh and a wonderful sense of humor, he will also be remembered for his kindness and generosity to family and friends.
A memorial service and celebration of Michael's life will take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at the Blanchard Funeral Chapel, 666 Plymouth Street (Rte 58 at the rotary circle), Whitman, MA. Visitation begins at 12 Noon with a memorial service at 1:30 PM.
