Unrepentant Obituary Deemed ‘Best Ever’

Full Title: ‘He Enjoyed Booze, Guns, Cars, and Younger Women Until the Day He Died’: Unrepentant Obituary Deemed ‘Best Ever’

-------------------------------------------------------

Michael “Flathead” Blanchard’s obituary, published in the Denver Post on April 12, bears little resemblance to the standard “in memoriam.”

Penned by Blanchard before his death, the obituary notes, among other things, that Blanchard was “weary of reading obituaries noting someone’s courageous battle with death.” Rather, he wanted it known that he “died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctor’s orders and raising hell for more than six decades.”

“He enjoyed booze, guns, cars, and younger women until the day he died.”

Proverbs 2:12-14
Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

I Googled it too. I got the impression that the deceased hated the occult from his statement. Why would he tell Baba to kiss his butt if he was into it?

I did my due diligence. I searched for the full title of the article and nothing came up. I also searched the writers name. I got nothing, so I posted.

I’m with Lazlo, “Baba Yaga can kiss his butt”. He didn’t like a phony hippy guru

Searching by full title is futile. One word is all you really needed: obituary.

Reminds me of a FReeper a long time ago recalling the death of his hell raising uncle who died in his arms with the last words of “God, that was fun!”

Hard not to like a guy called “Flathead” with a son named “Chopper.”

This dude does seem like the type that I wouldn’t mind spending time at the bar with. I bet he was full of stories.

why would you tell someone who does not exist (if you don’t believe in the occult) to kiss you butt?

Same reason I do.

Batman is very annoying.
