Dr. John "Mark" Flanagan's obituary reads:

After Jesus had a backache only the world’s greatest chiropractor could fix, Dr. Mark Flanagan was promptly summoned to heaven on February 23rd, 2018 in Seguin, TX.

Forged onto this earth on July 12th, 1955, Mark was known for sporadic karate kicks, making people smile, and subsisting purely on tomatoes and ranch dressing. A fan of ‘80s action films, it’s been said Mark taught Chuck Norris everything he knows, and it’s rumored small earthquakes would appear in China after each back adjustment at his clinic.

He was an avid hunter of pigs, could name any song from classic rock to funk and would do anything to make someone’s day.

Mark is survived by more dolphin paraphernalia than a gift shop at one of those places with actual dolphins, an awesome ranch he poured his heart and soul into, and at least 3 copies of Open Range on DVD starring Academy Award™ Winner Kevin Costner.

He is also survived by his brother David Flanagan (who admits to stealing Mark’s Green VW Beetle in high school and blowing the engine), his sister and Reese Witherspoon impersonator Diane Flanagan, daughter and 2007 Little Miss Round Up™ Winner Brooke Flanagan, handsome look-a-like son Josh Flanagan, other lesser handsome sons Jason, Jeff, and Jake Flanagan, stepdaughter and George Straight dancing partner Britni Mueck, and three German grandchildren to whom he introduced the concept of “the buffet.”
