Brian Keith Blackburn

It is very sad news and hard to believe that Brian is gone. I worked with him from time to time at Gentex and I was very impressed with his knowledge and skills as an engineer as well as his down to earth easy to work with manner. I moved to a different company and lost track of Brian and only found out today of his passing. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to his family.

I just received the recent edition of the RHOMER and was saddened to hear of this tragedy. Brian was one of my favorite fraternity brothers, and was one of those rare persons who everyone looked up to and admired. He was a true leader and more importantly a great and compassionate person. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

So sorry to hear about Boots. He was one of those guys in college who always had something good to say. My deepest sympathies and prayers for strength for all who loved him.

Please accept our deepest condolences in the loss of your loved one, Brian. May reflection of the account found at Mark 5:35-43 provide the family comfort and strength in the days and weeks ahead.

We lost our QB, fellow C squared member & my Tull buddy. Will miss Brian, my deepest sympathies to the entire family and those who were lucky enough to have known Brian......"Life's a long song, but the tune ends too soon for us all".

Jay and family. Thank you for sharing this obituary. Bootsy was really a great kid. He will be missed. What a blessing knowing his talents saved lives. Sending our condolences and deepest sympathies to you. Mary Jo and Mark Costello and Toni Zimmerman

My deepest condolences. We all lost someone who is best described as a great human being. I have wonderful memories of playing IM football together and being his fraternity brother. He was loved by everyone in the house. We will all miss you and think about you often. Strong it ties that Bind.

My deepest condolences to Dave and the rest of the Blackburn Family. I will remember Bootsie with the fondest of memories, and his family will remain in my prayers. He will be missed.
