Ceylon Bryan Blackwell Jr

What a wonderful man he will definitely be missed by many I worked with him for many years Shelby county sheriffs office emergency services he was a good friend. Always had a joke to tell.

I knew Ceylon from Boy Scout days in Troop 34. And knew him at the U Club. And also in the Real Estate business. He was a great all-around guy. Will miss him.

Silo, as he was known, and I where junior members at the Uclub and darted playing tennis not knowing which end of the racquet to hold on to. Derrick Barton would help us out from time to time but I always had trouble playing with Silo because he was a southpaw. He was a wonderful aponent and friend. I will miss his high spirits and great humor greatly

A fine gentleman with a huge heart. He gave so much to so many.

I always enjoyed meeting Ceylon at MAAR classes and conferences ,cheerful smile and wonderful perconality. Rest in peace CEYLON .Life well lived

Our love to all of you at this difficult time. Big C often encouraged us and we are grateful for his life. And I love the generational connection that continued as our daughter, Ginny, dearly loves Lily from their days together at Houston Middle. Praying for the Lord´s comfort, Luke and Sloan

I never met a sweeter guy. It was always a great pleasure to be in Ceylon's company.

Hope Ceylon and Beirne Prager are in the heavenly cheering section for the Ramblin Wrecks with yellow jackets flying all around. A few rounds of golf will keep them busy while they wait for the rest of us. Eddie and Gloria Felsenthal

If you were lucky enough to meet and get to know Ceylon Blackwell, you never had a more cheerful, kind and faithful friend. He was truly a one-of-a-kind guy who loved his Catholic faith, his wife Lucy and family. He will be missed. Godspeed Big C.
