Zion Baptist Church in Brogue officiating.  Burial will be in St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran Church; 2666 Furnace Road; New Bridgeville, Felton, PA 17322.  He will be buried near his grandparents.

Michael was born in York Hospital on November 14, 1977, the son of Connie D. Frey Luxton Collins and John A. Luxton II.  He grew up mostly in Dallastown with his dog, Shotzee.  He went to Dallastown Schools and graduated 1996.  He then went to Gettysburg College for a while.

At the age of 14, he had to have his spleen removed.  Then around 15, he developed a rare autoimmune disease, dermatomysitis, which affects the tissue, muscles, skin (rash) and rheumatoid arthritis also with this disease.  One in a million people get this.

Dr. Blotzer (assistant Kathy) diagnosed him with the dermatomysitis and treated him for a number of years.  For the last 5 years, Dr. Cherry (assistant Cindy) has been treating him.

The summers of his teen years were spent in Ocean City, MD.  He learned boating skills from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in 1993.  He worked for Genie Electronics, and was a cook at the American Legion in Shiloh, as well as various other restaurants in York, Lancaster, Pittsburgh and in the State of Florida, which he especially loved.

Michael had artistry ability.  When he was in his 20's, he drew for people, usually on envelopes, and they would pay him.

After years in Florida, he moved back to York County to be near family and friends.  His disease was getting worse.

He loved Scooby-Doo, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, movies, milk, ice cream, grapes, Welch's grape juice, Mike & Ikes, but most of all Mom's roast beef & mashed potato dinners.  He also loved pinball machines and game machines.  He has a collection of them.
