Malcolm Miguel Brinson was born in Cook County, Chicago, Illinois. He was the son of the late Wadie & Odessa Brinson. He grew up in Chicago, IL and Coraopolis, PA. In 1984, he was united in holy matrimony to Gwen Thompson and to this union two children were born. He resided in McKees Rocks, PA for several years, recently returning home to Coraopolis before God decided to call him home.
He played football and basketball throughout his high time at Cornell Senior High School. His friends enjoyed his company as he had an uncanny sense of humor and a kind heart. After graduating, he continued his employment with Saracco Dodge. He was a car enthusiast and his love for automotives began with his first car, a burnt orange Chevy Vega that he washed every day. Afterwards he was employed at the Coraopolis Service Star Hardware Store. He was always willing to fix something for you and if he couldn’t, he knew who could. In his later years, he worked in the restaurant industry where he refined his skills to include fine dining and whipping up a mean crab cake. Grilling anytime of the year was also a favorite past time of his.
He was preceded in death by his parents Wadie & Odessa Brinson, his eldest brother Wadie Brinson, Jr, and sister Nezzie Brinson. He is survived by one sister, Vanessa Jones (Park Forest, IL). He leaves to cherish in memory his wife Gwen Brinson and two children, Miguel & India Brinson. Two granddaughters; Breona Griffin, and Emma Watson.
