Blanchard, Michael "Flathead" 1944 ~ 2012
A Celebration of the life of Michael "Flathead" Blanchard will be held on April 14th, 3 pm 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone's courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.
Mike was born July 1944 in Colorado to Clyde and Ethel Blanchard. A community activist, he is noted for saving the Dr. Justina Ford house from demolition and defending those who could not defend themselves. He was a Republican delegate, life member of the NRA, founder and President of the Dead Cats MC. He loved music.
Mike was preceded in death by Clyde and Ethel Blanchard, survived by his beloved sons Mike and Chopper, former wife Jane Transue, brother Stephen Blanchard (Susan), Uncle Don and Aunt Cynthia Blanchard(his favorite); Uncle Dill and Aunt Dot, cousins and nephews, Baba Yaga can kiss his butt. So many of his childhood friends that weren't killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.

There is a head stone in my hometown cemetery that reads:
Been here and gone.
Had a good time.
RIP Flathead!
I’ll raise a glass to you tonight Flathead. You sound like a guy I’d like to have known.
I wish I’d met him. He certainly would never be mistaken for white bread.
I did discover that his listed son, Chopper, was his cat.
I work in an office where I’m the independent contractor, I’m in my 60’s.and female. The director and I were working together one afternoon and something came up with opinions regarding age and experience. I said to her...I came to the realization at about the age of 60 I didn’t need to take crap from anybody anymore...she laughted and said that’s why she loved me. The figure may be going to crap, but by God I have the respect. I’ll take respect anyday. :-)
I think "MC" stands for Motorcycle Club. So, Dead Cats Motorcycle Club. LOL
You’re correct.
(From the class of ‘64) - We have had the GOD given privilege of being born in the greatest county and living through the greatest era the world has known. With that comes an understanding of life and a respect for freedom that seems to be eluding those who are coming up. Them that don’t understand and respect it can kiss my butt. I’ll die a happy man and leave behind a little sadness for those who can’t see where they are headed through the fog of foolishness.
He sounds like a lot more fun than my Blanchard relatives...and a person my late husband would have liked a lot!
