George
W. Blackburn passed away peacefully in his home, at Go Ye Village, in
Tahlequah, OK, surrounded by family, on March 18, 2019, at the age of 78
years, 1 week, and 1 day.
George Wesley Blackburn, Jr. was born on March 10, 1941, to G. Wesley “Wes” and Mary E. Blackburn, in Chicago, IL. On August 26, 1961, George married Nancy Gwendolyn Gayden in Chicago. George was preceded in death by his loving wife of 55 years, Nancy, his parents, and a brother-in-law. A devoted husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandpa, George will be greatly missed by his 2 children – daughter Dawn (Dan) Bergen of Rochester, MN and son Vaughn (Joy) of Minneapolis, MN; 7 grandchildren – Valentina (Jesse) Kuiken, Roseau, MN; Vawny Kaye (Tyler) Howard, Minneapolis, MN; Veronica (Ricardo) Herrera, Oklahoma City, OK; Victoria and Joshua Blackburn, Minneapolis, MN; and Micah and Cassia Bergen, Rochester, MN; as well as his siblings – sister Beth (Dick) Rabenhorst, Longview, TX; Jim (Mary) Blackburn, Tahlequah, OK; Judy (Gary, deceased) McQuown, Estherville, IA; and Tim (Jodi) Blackburn, Kenosha, WI. George is also survived by 6 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Jean (Raymond) Bloom, Blue Island, IL; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
George will be well-remembered for his many years of service – in multiple areas – and his love for his Savior and Lord. Those who knew George best will miss his smile, helping hands, and dry humor, but most of all his love.
