Jan
Flaharty, of Sheridan, passed away at home on February 20,
2019 surrounded by family, after a nine-month battle with
glioblastoma mulitforme. Jan said often during the almost
nine months he lived with cancer that he was grateful he was
to transition this way because it gave him time to tell his
family how much he loved and appreciated them. A private
family celebration of his life will take place at a later
date.
Jan was
born on October 24, 1952 in Washington D.C. to Jack and Jean
(Goldberg) Flaharty. Jan graduated from Ohio State University
with a B.S. in Zoology, the University of Montana with an
M.S. in Environmental Studies, and the University of Oregon
with a Doctor of Jurisprudence.
Jan's
life is captured well in the words of one of his sons,
Scotty:
He could play any instrument that was placed before him and
had a tremendous amount of knowledge about life in the
back-country. He was an intelligent and caring man who did
incredible things for many people. I'll miss the stories
of him taking Josh and me out in the stroller, working for
his parents at the produce shop when he was a kid, hanging
out with the Eskimos in Alaska, all the concerts, crazy
hiking/camping adventures, courtroom shenanigans, and many
more. The things Jan loved most in life were his kids and
dogs
Jan is
survived by sons Jacob Jenkins, Scotty Jenkins Flaharty, and
Josh Jenkins Flaharty; daughter Emily Flaharty Jenkins;
mother Jean Flaharty; significant other (and ex-wife)
Charlotte Jenkins; nephews Craig (Holly) Reines and David
(Michelle) Reines; grandchildren: Emilee, Elizabeth, Autumn,
and Maurisa; and brother (from another mother), Richard
Steffel. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack
Flaharty, and his sister, Lauren (Flaharty) Reines.
