Michael Dennis Flint of Petaluma, CA, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, veteran, and community leader whose life was marked by service, faith, and kindness.

His generosity, wisdom, and ability to bring people together earned him the admiration and love of all who knew him.

Above all, Mike cherished his family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elbert Bascom Flint and Lois Irene (McIlwain) Flint, and by his son, Sean Michael Flint. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Flint; his sister, Kathleen Paige Chase; his children, Stacy Nelson, Ryan Flint, and Shelley Flint; and his cherished grandchildren, who will carry forward his legacy of love and integrity.
