michael souranis

Michael Paul Souranis of Mingo Jct., OH, formerly of Weirton, WV, passed away at his home on December 29, 2022. He was 65 years old.

Michael was born in Weirton, WV on January 11, 1957, the first of two children born to Paul Michael and Stella Kolakis Souranis.

A 1975 graduate of Weir High School, and an Eagle Scout, Michael worked at Weirton Steel for over thirty years. After taking the buy out he continued to work in Louisiana and Florida and back in the Ohio Valley, where he had jobs in Food management and security.

He nourished his faith at the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, where he formerly taught Sunday School, and previously sat on the Church Council. He was also a former member of the AHEPA Lodge.
Michael was a true outdoorsman. If you were lost in the woods, and needed to survive, you would be safe, with Michael by your side. His only nephew, Michael would often refer to him as Falco and said a perfect day for his uncle would be to eat, sleep, and fly fish. All who knew Michael, knew his love for animals especially his pets.

Most of all Michael will be remembered for his love for his family and his love for Marion and her daughters.

Sadly, Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Stella Souranis; on September 18, 2010 and March 18, 2021; his brother in law, Anthony “Tony” Mastromichalis, on May 5, 1995.

He will be remembered with love by his sister, Connie Mastromichalis; his nephew, Michael Mastromichalis; Marion Shea with whom he made his home and her daughters, Megan and Nicole Keenan.

Friends and family will be received Tuesday from 10 AM until 11 AM at the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Weirton. They are also welcomed to attend the funeral liturgy that will begin at 11 AM.

Interment will follow at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Weirton.

Memorial contributions may be made to Michael’s family or to the All Saints Benevolent Fund to help with the recent costs associated with the funeral and the unexpected house fire that claimed Michael’s earthly life.
