On May 17th, 2025, the Washington State medical examiner called Michael’s cousin Steven, who then put Paulie, his brother, on the phone. They told him that Michael had passed away on May 6th, 2025.
We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of Michael Blatchford, (a father, a brother, a son, a cousin, and friend). It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of another tragic loss in our family. It was a sudden and unexpected passing, leaving our family heartbroken. Some of you have reached out and asked how you can help our family. We kindly ask, if you are able, to please donate.
The financial burdens that come with an unexpected loss can be overwhelming and unaffordable. Any money donated will go straight to bringing Michael back home to New York from Washington State! Michael left behind his 4 children: Jayden, Adrian, Julianna, and Wyatt. We also will be doing a celebration of life for Michael.
