Dawn Blakely Obituary


Dawn Marie Blakely INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH, Fla. - Dawn Marie Blakely, 39, drew her last breath Dec. 6, 2008, in her home. She will be missed dearly by her loving and caring children, Kendall Blakely, Jessica Blakely and Tristin "TJ" Carroll; her father, William R. Jernigan; her brothers, Daren Pickell, Christopher Jernigan, Jodie Jernigan and Paul Garrett; sister, Jennifer J. Layden; along with a niece and four nephews. She will be missed every day for the rest of our lives. We will never forget her smile, her voice, her kind and giving heart, nor her willingness to help others while expecting nothing in return. She instilled strong qualities in us, making us what we are today - leaving her forever in our memories, thoughts and prayers. Dawn was the "Soccer Mom" of Melbourne, having been very active in the soccer community. She will be loved and sorely missed by all. A viewing will be held at South Brevard Funeral Home, 1001 S.
