MICHAEL ‘MICKEY’ BLEHM

Michael Alan Blehm was born on November 22, 1949 in Sonora, CA and moved to Lodi, CA a couple of days later. He grew up a country boy on his parents farm until the age of 14 when his father, Harold Blehm, passed away. He then moved to the city with his mother Margaret Blehm and sister Kathy (Blehm) Sayler.

He graduated from Lodi High School in 1967. He worked hard for many years in the automotive industry. He loved his family, loved life, loved to laugh. He enjoyed camping, drawing, looking at hot rods, spending time with his children, grandchildren, and his wife’s day care children, and sharing all of his favorite memories any time he could. He was loved by all who knew him and was a gentle giant.

He was a member of Temple Baptist Church. He loved God and listening to all kinds of music.

Mick is survived by his wife of 41 years, Carol (Lang) Blehm; Children: Michelle Lozano (Rollie), Michael Blehm, Julie Hahn (Scott); Grandchildren: Cameron Pitman, Mikayla and Myles Lozano, and Aislyn, Jaron and Brogan Hahn and sister Kathy (Dave) Sayler, second mom (Marie Lang), sister and brother in law, nieces, nephews and many others, all whom he loved so much. He is preceded in death by his parents.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 5th at 1:00 at Radiant Life Church, 75 N. Crescent, Lodi, CA. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up in Mike’s name to help defray funeral expenses. The family wishes to thank everyone for all of your prayers and encouragement during this time.
