John Richard “Jack” Flanagan passed away on October 12, 2019. Beloved companion, brother, brother in law, uncle, godfather and figurative “big brother”, loyal friend and confidant to many. Jack formed and played guitar in seminal New York City hardcore group, the Mob. He graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1985. He went on to work with and manage the affairs of many well known artists and performers, among them Clutch, Gwar, Ronnie Spector, Murphy’s Law, D Generation and others. Jack was an incredibly warm, caring and generous soul, and also had a brilliant sense of humor. He taught a lot of things to a lot of people and he will be sorely missed by those that knew him.

Jack introduced me to the best eye drops I'd ever used back in 2001. He brought them back from Japan, I still use that brand today. Thanks Jack!

My deepest condolences to the Flanagan Family. Jack was larger than life. I first met him in 1992 with Jimmy and Murphy's Law. he was the BOSS, the Man, El Hefe , before any of us could even begin to figure out the business Jack was already a master of it. He looked out for the talent and let a few people in the circle. I was fortunate to be let in. As shows would come and go Jack was always there running his business and saving Jimmy from peril at any given moment which was hand in hand. As time passed he was at the helm of Clutch a newer band from MD. He knew that they too were special and with his vision and their talent they still cannot be topped. He also took it upon himself to manage The Mighty GWAR. What else can be said about that. Nothing. He tuned into their greatness and played them all over the world, and the GREAT GREAT Ronnie Spector The Queen of the spun sugar beehive. What a beautiful combination they made. Jack made his mark all over the world with his larger than life personality and smile. Jack, when it comes time for me to go to the big show upstairs please put me on the list brother. I will miss you my friend
