For what is probably the first time ever, an obituary has gone viral.

Michael Blanchard wasn't the most popular guy when he died nearly a year ago, but when his sons just recently planned a memorial and published an obit in The Denver Post, everybody suddenly loved him.

Flathead, as he was known, wrote a rough draft of the obit himself, and it has become an instant classic.

He died because he was stubborn, refused to follow doctors' orders and was a hell-raiser, the obit said.

The memorial was held Saturday and was standing room only.

His full obituary in The Denver Post, tells you why:

"A Celebration of the life of Michael "Flathead" Blanchard will be held on April 14, 3 p.m. 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone's courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.
