He was born March 21, 1976 in Machias the son of Peter and Pamela (Powell) Blanch.
He was known for being the life of any gathering, for his sense of humor, big smile, kindness and love for family, especially his daughter Becca. His happiest days were the ones spent with her; fishing, boating, and traveling.

Michael suffered from addiction, and we pray that he now is at peace.
If you yourself are struggling from addiction, know that every breath is a fresh start. Know that hundreds of thousands of families who have lost someone to this disease are praying, and rooting for you. It is never too late.
