Michael

Wegner

Michael Wegner, 72, has passed away peacefully at East End Hospice in Westhampton, NY on September 17, 2023.

Michael was born on April 10, 1951 in Hamburg, Germany, immigrating to the United States as a child with his parents, sister, and grandparents. Michael studied airplane engineering in college, and was an airplane and auto mechanic. A natural engineer, he had an advanced ability to problem solve and fix anything that is broken, even when lacking the right materials to do so, working with what he had in front of him. Though his greatest passion and what he was most well known for was as a talented and accomplished Hammond B3 musician.

Michael was always giving and generous to family and friends, with his door always open, willing to help in any way he could without having to be asked and without asking anything in return. He was a loving and caring father, who worked hard his whole life, sacrificed for others, and never complained about not having, always grateful for what he did have and the ability to play and perform his music.

Michael will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Although he isn’t with us, he will never really be gone. His sacrifices, caring, morals, problem solving abilities, and strength will be passed down. He will live on and be remembered through the generations to come.

Michael is survived by his son, Erik Wegner, and granddaughter, Emilia Wegner.
