Dakota John Blaschke

Winslow, Maine - Dakota “Cody” Blaschke, 24, passed away at his home in Winslow on Monday, September 4, 2017. Cody was born in Waterville on June 24, 1993, the son of Frederick “Rick” Blaschke and Arlene (Marsh) Blaschke. Cody was educated in the Vassalboro Community School and Waterville Senior High School, graduating from Erskine Academy in 2011.

He worked at an organic farm in China and for the past two years as an associate at Walmart in Waterville. He enjoyed gardening, cooking, fishing, spending time with his family and friends, and helping his brother Sage work on his house.

Cody recently adopted a rescue dog from Puerto Rico, through the Humane Society Waterville Area. He had just discovered that “Rico” understands commands in Spanish better than in English.

He was predeceased by his grandparents: Frederick M. and Evelyn Blaschke, and Edmund and Kathren Marsh. Cody is survived by his parents: Rick and Ruth Blaschke of Clinton; Arlene Blaschke and John Ganzen of Vassalboro; siblings: Amanda Blaschke and Sage Blaschke (his best friend), both of Winslow; Billie Jo Moore, her husband John and their children Dylan, Lyllian and Samuel of Clinton; Jeremy Hardy and his wife Hali and their children Gerald and Charles of Newport, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

He will be remembered for his outgoing personality, his kind soul and his infamous dread locks. Cody will be missed more than words can say.

A funeral service will be held at 3:00 pm on Sunday September 17, 2017 at Daystar Chapel, 574 Lakewood Road (Rte. 201), Madison, ME. Please visit www.veilleuxfuneralhome.com to share condolences, memories and tributes with Cody’s family
