Glenn Blackman Obituary
Glenn was born on November 5, 1947, to Gerald DeLeon Blackman and Georgia Mildred Blackman in Jacksonville Florida. He met his wife Debi in 1998 and they shared 24 years together.
Glenn was a hardworking man and talented trim carpenter who worked for many builders in the area. He was a caring person and mentored others in carpentry. He would do anything for anyone and often helped his friends and family as a handyman.
When not working he loved being out in nature as an avid outdoorsman he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He enjoyed being out on the water and often participated in bass tournaments. Glenn also found time for a round of golf and watching Western movies.
Glenn was preceded in death by his parents, his brother and his grandson Philip (PJ) Newnham. He is survived by his wife Debi Langston, his son, Paul (Melissa) Blackman and daughter Annette (Kevin) Blackman; step- daughters Andria Palgut and Tonya Langston; grandchildren: Gerig Blackman, Brookes and Alexandria Blackman, Logan, Ariana and Sienna Palgut and Hayden Durden
Family and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of life which will be held at the amenity center at 3860 Doctors Lake Dr on February 19, 2023, at 11:00 AM.
