Michael J. Flynn Jr

Sorry to hear about this. Condolences to the Family. Knew Mike back in High School. Him and that souped up Black El Camino. He truly was a character.

I knew Mike from way back in high school, and I'm truly saddened to hear of his passing...
Prayers for his family.

Sending prayers and hugs to Mike's family. He is not forgotten.

I just learned of Mike´s passing yesterday. I´m having a difficult time finding the appropriate words to express how much this is affecting me. It was many years ago that we were together but he has always held a special place in my heart. He was larger than life, he was my world. And I mean no disrespect by saying this. One of my fondest memories of Mike was the year that it snowed and there was rolling blackouts and it was very cold. He had a shop dog named Roschnere (I´m not spelling that correctly but I think it had something to do with roast an ear, as in corn or something like that) and a litter of puppies that were huddling in front of the heat lamps in a building outside the ranch. When the lamps were off the poor little guys were shivering and huddled on top of each other to try to stay warm. It broke my heart because he said that they were shop dogs, they´ll be ok. So before he got home, I brought them all inside and had them in the tub cleaning them up so they could stay inside. He walked in and instead of getting mad he smiled at me and said "oh Chubbo" (that´s what he called me) and let me keep them inside. I can still see his smirk. We shared a lot of great moments together. It was always fun when his crew was in town. Their handles were some of the best! I know our time together caused some chaos which I am so sorry for. It was not my intentions. The last time I saw Mike, we shared a good laugh about it. I want to express my deepest condolences to his wife, kids and family. I know his family meant everything to him and you were all blessed to call him husband, dad, son, brother. He definitely will be missed but I hope your memories can be of some comfort for you. I´m having a hard time wrapping my head around this but I believe this was all God´s plan so for whatever reason He felt to bring him home, must be a much larger plan than He had for him here on earth. My world is a little darker now that my Hollywood sign has dimmed. RIP Mikey. Until we meet again.

I have known Flynn family since they had shop on 2700 Gandy blvd. I also lived with Mikey on Starkey while employed at hollywood wheels my father was one of the famous flynn truck drivers his handle was hanky panky he took Mikey to California on his first trip driving his own truck I love that whole family I'm so sorry

Mike attended a class I taught for IGL Coatings. That weekend I gained a best friend who ended up being part of my close circle of friends. We began to talk and text daily about family, business , and cars. I had the privilege to be with him when he sold the "transit" car at Mecum... what a blast. My best memory was how he pushed me to be better and how happy he was for me the day I told him I purchased IGL Coatings USA. Love ya Mike and miss you everyday!

WE KNEW MIKE A GOOD 30 PLUS YEARS, ALWAYS A GREAT GUY. DAN NEWCOMBE & BETTER HALF BARB. Clearwater Fla.

I will miss our conversations Mike. You have been always such a great friend. Loved to talk with you about ideas, goals, life. You have been a great man. Loved your dedication and love for your family. I will miss you. God bless

May God watch over Mike's entire family, Mike was one of my best friends since we were in St.Judes in early seventies. We just spoke 2 weeks ago, talking about our kids, how blessed we were, his family was his world. Mike will be greatly missed!

My sincerest and deepest condolences to his family. What a larger than life character, he was. The world got a little less bright without him in it.

Death leaves a heartache that will not heal
Love will leave memories, no one can steal.

May God bless his loved ones and keep them close.
RIP HOLLYWOOD

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Mike's family & friends. May God Bless!

My thoughts and prayers to the family. I lived in the same neighborhood as the Flynn´s for several years - many years ago. Mike was always larger than life! I know he´ll be missed.

I met Mike back in 1985. When I opened my own business superior carburetor service. For years I had the pleasure of doing business with Michael. R.I.P. You will be sadly missed

I met Mike at the auction about 30 years ago,he trucked all my cars. We became fast friend's. He was a book of knowledge when you had a question about car values. If you needed help fixing a car he knew the right person to call that was as genuine as him. I´m so sorry for your families loss.

I met Mike when I was a teenager, we hung around when we were kids, he was at our wedding but just like life we grow apart but when we reconnected it's like old days telling stories. So sorry for the family, GOD BLESS, I know he's in gods hands.

Condolence to the family. Prayers go out to family! Rest in Peace Michael.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss Kelly I remember Mike and just how amazing he was I'm honored to have known him ( and your entire family ever since St. Judes and over the last 40 yrs since ) may he rest in peace and may God wrap his arms around his entire family during this time

I can´t believe Mike has passed. He was the first friend I had when I went over to St Jude´s in 4th grade and we remained close our entire lives. Love him and his entire family, he will be deeply missed. Love and prayer to Holly, Hayden, Hannah, Flo, Mike Sr, Kelly and Lori.

St Pete catholic and his black SS El Camino and him Always helping everyone and his Generosity. And integrity is my memory of Mike. I didn´t see him often but I always know he was my Friend

Mikey was always kind to me, and he was always funny. I enjoyed my conversations with him.

One of my first memories is in the T Bucket going between campuses at SPC and as you all know, Mike was an enthusiastic gas pedal user. Long live those great memories.
