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.
Thank you guys.
I couldn’t have said it better...cept maybe for a few good drinks with friends. No that was well done. We truly live(d) in the best of times. I pray for my children and grand kids.
Wish I'd known him. Would probably have been a good neighbor!
If only I had someone who would submit a similar obit for me when the time comes.

Hopefully his life will serve as an inspiration to all.

The funniest obit to read is your own.
The only thing I would have added;
Please bury me face down.
Then ya’ll can kiss my ass anytime.
RIP, Flathead.
Class of 66 here. It was a great time growing up. I hear what you are saying. I work with some pre schoolteachers who are as dumb as a box of rocks. And others that are just the greatest.
Too funny! Thanks for the ping. What a character this guy was!
My late mother-in-law had a collection of hilarious obituaries. I was hoping to inherit them but my sister-in-law beat me out of them.
