Publish in a newspaper

Daniel Edward Blandford, 56, of Knoxville, Tennessee, passed away on September 18, 2025. He was born on June 26, 1969, in Cheverly, Maryland, to Linda Gill and Joseph Blandford.
Dan was a dedicated professional who earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Maryland in 1992. Later, he went on to receive his Master's of Business Administration from Old Dominion University. He spent many years serving his community through his small business, Blandford Construction. Since June 2024, he was employed with Purvis Builders, where his hard work and dedication were deeply valued.
Beyond his professional life, Dan was known for his kindness, generosity, and genuine love of life. He was an avid lover of music, motorcycles, and animals of all kinds. He was the life of every party, and he always did his best to leave everything and everyone better than he found them.
Dan is survived by his loving parents, Linda Gill and Joseph Blandford, his stepmother, Sue Blandford, his brother, Mark Blandford, and his three beloved children, Camber, Cassidy, and Daniel Blandford II. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his devotion to family, and the warmth and joy he brought to all who knew him.
A celebration of Dan's life will be held on October 17, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at Click Funeral Home, located at 9020 Middlebrook Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee.
