MICHAEL FLANARY

Michael Allen Flanary, 62, of Norton, was born on September 17, 1959.  He left this world to go to his Heavenly home on Sunday, April 10, 2022, after a long illness in which he fought valiantly and with so much courage and strength. 

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, James Lee and Joan Collins Flanary; his grandparents, Worley and Gladys Flanary and James and Genelle Collins.

Michael was a 1977 graduate of J.J. Kelly High School. He worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for most of his life at Mitchell and then Rish Equipment Co.  He was an avid Redskins fan and loved NASCAR.

He was a wonderful son, the best brother, an uncle that was adored and an amazing friend.  He would give you the shirt off his back.  He was kind and humble to a fault.

He is survived by his beloved sister, Debra Flanary Rife and his brother, Patrick Flanary and his wife, Andrea; three nieces, Katherine Maine, Jamie Flanary and Logan Smith; a nephew, Ryan Hobbs; several great nieces and nephews; and a host of friends and loved ones.
