Christopher David Blockcolski, 44, of Broken Arrow, passed away on Friday, February 23, 2024; a man whose life was adorned with remarkable achievements and cherished moments that will linger in our hearts forever. Chris led a distinguished career representing the oil and gas industry with unwavering dedication. His legal expertise shone brightly as he navigated the complex landscape of the law. Not only did he excel in his legal profession, but he also served as a beacon of fairness and integrity as the city judge for Holdenville, Oklahoma. Education was a cornerstone of Chris's journey. A proud graduate of Pryor High School, he continued to pursue knowledge at Northeastern State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business in 2001. His passion for justice led him to the University of Oklahoma, where he obtained his law degree, Juris Doctorate, in 2004.Beyond his professional endeavors, Chris embraced a multitude of hobbies and interests that defined his vibrant persona. An avid hunter and fisherman, he found solace in nature's embrace. He was a nationally ranked archer which brought him to prestigious heights, helping to train in an Olympic facility in Colorado Springs and Chula Vista, California. Chris's athletic spirit extended to strongman competitions, powerlifting, and his beloved football days in high school. However, amidst all his accomplishments, what truly ignited Chris's soul was his family. The love he held for his two sons radiated from him with every smile exchanged and every moment shared. Taking pride in being a loving husband to Sabra since their union on September 20, 2008, in Bixby, Oklahoma, Chris cherished every day where he could drive his boys to school—a simple joy that illuminated his world. As we say goodbye to Chris, let us carry forward the essence of his remarkable life—a life rich with passion for justice, love for family, and an unwavering spirit that inspired all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him.
Chris is survived by his wife, Sabra Blockcolski of the home; his sons, Zander and Zayden Blockcolski of the home; his father, David Blockcolski of Pryor, Oklahoma; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by his mother, Paulene Blockcolski.
