Brian Flachsmann

Brian D Flachsmann of Green Bay Wisconsin passed away 2/24/26 from a short battle with cancer. Brian (B) was charismatic, kind, generous and a true gentleman. He could talk to anyone. He said life is all about spreading happiness and making people smile. He used his wit, humor and sly smile to make that happen. He was one to stand up if someone was being treated unfairly.

Brian was born June 3rd 1973 in West Lafayette,Indiana to parents Lt Col William H Flachsmann II (ret) and Sherry P Flachsmann (Reid). He graduated from Highschool, went on to college for a few years and graduated from trade school at the top of his class. Brian moved to Green Bay Wisconsin nearly 10 years ago to get a second chance at love when he reconnected with Michelle (Misha) after 23 years. Their love story is one for the books.

Brian lived n Traverse City ,MI for several years where he started is own business of Paintless Dent Removal that stayed operational for over 20 years. He was a perfectionist that seemed to work magic, earning him 5 star reviews. He travelled the world with his family, his Dad, an Air Force officer. He loved skateboarding and was amateur sponsored in his youth. He was still doing Ollies in his 50's. Brian was passionate about music and cars. He attended several concerts and local shows. He won trophies for some of the cars he rebuilt. He spent many weekends "treasure hunting" at Estate sales, thrift stores and garage sales. Brian beloved animals and they loved him. He helped bunnies, squirrels, chipmunk, birds and cats that seemed to seek him out. He loved his two cats, Opal and Mayhem especially.

Brian is survived by the love of his life Michelle Bonlander and her daughter Sydney Bonlander, his daughter Olivia Grajewski (Spencer) , his parents, sister Kimberly Trout (Terik Trout), Nephews Alexander Ayscough, Austin Valloric, Nieces Ashlynn Bowling, Alyssa Trout, Great Nephew and niece Jaxsyn and Isabella Bowling, Aunts and Uncles.

The Family would like the thank Aurora Hospital and their outstanding staff that at times made Brian feel like royalty. The Hospice staff went out of their way with comfort and support, making it possible for Michelle to spend as much time with him as possible. We are grateful.

A celebration of Brian's life will be held sometime this summer. Michelle will post information on Facebook.
