Senoia, Georgia - Michael M. Blondeau, our beloved
dad, passed away peacefully on 3/12/2026.
He was a dedicated employee of Delta Airlines,
having retired as a Captain after 33 years of service.
He is preceded by his beloved parents, Eugene and
Myrtle; his brother, Eugene; and his fur baby, Suzy.
He is survived by his beloved kids: Kelly (Bill),
Julie, Jeanie (Paul), Michael (Van), Nancy, and Jennifer (Bruce); his grandkids
and great-grandkids; many nieces and nephews; Larry Boy Kern, his best friend
since 2nd grade; as well as his loyal caregiver, Fran.
A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor,
at the lake house, at a later date.
Michael “Mike” Blondeau passed away peacefully in
his home in Senoia, GA on March 12, 2026. He was born on September 3, 1941, in
New Orleans, LA. He lived a lot of life in between those two dates creating a
family, building a successful career, and having a multitude of experiences
turned into stories he enjoyed sharing.
Mike spent his life in Louisiana and Georgia,
residing many years in Fayette County and then in Coweta
County. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially Lake
Martin, and created innumerable memories there with his family. He also enjoyed
his farm life on Redwine Road where a multitude of animals were raised through
the years. He was a great cook, and his red beans and rice were often requested
by friends and family.
Mike started his career with Delta Airlines in
1966, rising the ranks to become Captain of the 767. His 31-year long career
equates to a very large number of take-offs, landings and passengers arriving
to their destinations-all done so safely. His last flight was on April 30,
1997-FLT 625-LaGuardia to Atlanta-from which point on he was able to enjoy
retired life.
More important than career; however, was his
family. He is survived by his children, Kelly Ollar (Bill),
Julie Adams, Jeanie Furlow (Paul), Michael
Blondeau (Vanessa), Nancy Blondeau, and Jennifer Clendaniel (Bruce); numerous
grandchildren; and 3 great grandchildren. He also had a close friendship with
his exwife, Sherry Blondeau; and his loyal caregiver, Francene Willis, who
became family as well.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene
and Myrtle Blondeau; his brother, Eugene Blondeau; his stepdaughter, Cherie
Vanlandingham; and his nephew, Rick Blondeau.
The family will hold a private ceremony to honor
Mike’s life.
Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital in his memory; a cause he
contributed to for many years.
