James M. Rafferty

James Michael Rafferty, 74, a/k/a “TruckCo,” “Raff,” “Fajsha,” “Pepaw,” and “Grandpa Fire Station” left for a higher elevation on April 18, 2023.  He now is enjoying a free body in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Mike was born on July 17, 1948, in Pueblo, Colo. to Dorothy (Wise) and James Louis Rafferty, who predeceased him. Mike was one of six siblings predeceased by his three youngest siblings Gregory, Gary Rafferty, and Sandra Tanquary.

Mike is survived by his wife and ride-or-die Lori Rafferty; his son, James E. (Rhonda) Rafferty; step-daughter, Leah Williamson (Chris Wells); daughter, Mandy (Buford) Blocker; grandchildren, Raelene and James T. Rafferty, Hailey “Saggy” Fogle, Riley “Jingle Bells” Fogle, Aspen “Boogie Butt” Wells and Beausiphus “Boat” Blocker; his two older sisters, Patricia Shray and Diane “Sarge” Rafferty; many more friends and family and “brothers and sisters from other mothers and misters”; too many to mention. He was and is still well-loved and is indescribably missed.
