Michael Charles
Blazys
Nov 20, 1959 — Aug 10, 2026
Michael Charles Blazys
Dansville
Outdoorsman, master mechanic, dog lover, fabulous cook and good friend. That was our Mike.
Born November 20, 1959, in Rochester, NY to Ignatius (Iggy) and Catherine Barbara Blazys, Mike left us on August 10, 2026 after a brain aneurysm.
After two years at Alfred University, Mike worked on his own as a master mechanic. There was nothing Mike couldn't repair, whether it was renovating a derelict trailer into a wonderful summer retreat on Chaumont Bay, or keeping brother John's trawler afloat on Narragansett Bay.
Ever the restless wanderer, he lived and worked in Palm Springs for a time. In later years he lived with his beloved Suzy in Syracuse.
After Suzy's death, he worked as a mechanic and jack of all trades for Lippincott's Rubbish in Hornell.
He leaves far too soon his big brother John and his wife Vickie; his sister Barbara and her family and his dog companion Finn. He also leaves his other family, Lenny and Jean Taylor their daughter Sandra.
He was predeceased by his parents and his Suzy.
A private gathering will take place.
Funeral arrangements are with the Brown & Powers Funeral Home in Hornell.
