Michael Gene was born on March 31, 1947, in Rock Island, Illinois to Glenn A. and M. Verlee (Pearson) Blaser. He was previously married to the former Diane Trial.
Michael was a thoughtful, gentle soul who worked hard his whole life. He enjoyed life on the family farm where he could help out, mow the yard, and ride around on the side by side. He appreciated music, and would often sing along with his favorite country western music. In the most recent years, he had a favorite farm cat, Honey, that kept him company.
Michael is survived by his siblings and their spouses, Butch Blaser, Steve and JoAnn Blaser, Donna and Dick Stone, Alice Jo and J.W. Dellitt, and Terri Thornton and Rich Zies. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. Michael was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Pat Stone, Monte Thornton, and Dennis Blaser in infancy.
