God has called home another faithful servant. Your smile and presence will be missed. Your beautiful legacy will continue through the awesome family you and Sandy raised. Hugs to the Blakelock family
I’m so sorry to hear of Pastor Blakelock’s passing. He was always warm and made us feel comfortable in church. God bless all of his family.
Pastor taught me slot about God and life. From deer hunting at the Art Hilton to listening to him and Johnny Smith discuss religion. One piece of advice he gave was “Impression without Expression leads to Depression “. He will be missed.
he was our pastor and friend for over 20 yrs We loved him and Sandy. our prayers are with you.
Sandra, Paul, Pamela, ohathon, Tabitha, Mathew, and Mark, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. You were good next door neighbors for many years. Bruce always had a positive approach to life, and was always a firm practitioner of his faith, May he rest in peace.
