Merle W. Flaishans
September 3, 1943 - June 13, 2026
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Merle Warren Flaishans.
Merle is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl Flaishans; their four children, Malaine, William, Wendy, and Melissa; twelve grandchildren; and seventeen great-grandchildren.
Merle passed peacefully at home at the age of 82.
He carried throughout his life a youthful spirit, always ready with a joke, boisterous energy, and a warm smile. As a husband and father, he was a loving and steadfast provider.
As a grandfather and great-grandfather, he wore the name Papa with great pride. As a family, we deeply feel the space in our hearts that he filled so completely.
Donations in Merle's memory are suggested to AMVETS.
