Publish in a newspaper

Brian Lee Blair, age 57, of Ohatchee, Alabama, passed away on August 20, 2025. He was born on April 26, 1968, and was a lifelong resident of Calhoun County. A true country man, Brian found joy in the simple things - fishing, riding horses, and spending time outdoors working on various projects. He believed in hard work and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He is preceded in death by his parents, Billy Vance and Marvis "Polly" Blair; his son, Eric Blair; his brother, Benji Blair; and his grandparents, Robert and Mary Boyd, and Vance and Amsey Blair. He is survived by his significant other, Amy Martin; his children, Megan (Josh) Karnes, Macie Mathews, and Waylon Martin; and his grandchildren, Trace Karnes, Lilli Burnett, Macie Karnes, Lane Burnett, and Levi Mathews. He also leaves behind his siblings, Boyd (Barbara) Blair, Bret (Jessica) Blair, Susan (Paul) Henderson, and Stacy Blair; life-long best friend Collins Parton; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members who will cherish his memory. Memorial services will be held at The Magnolia House at Cremation Services of East Alabama on August 31, 2025, from 4:00–6:00 p.m. for visitation only. Brian Lee Blair leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and memorable "Brian-isms" that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
