Edward Blalock Obituary
Steamboat Springs, CO
"There are some that bring a light so great to the world that even after they are gone the light remains"
Our beloved Edward passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 2, 2020 at 32 years old.
Edward is survived by his parents, Wren and Mary Blalock, two sisters, Palmer Blalock (Sutton Morgan and son, Parker Morgan) and Mary Ann Blalock (Jonathan Graham and daughter Camille Graham); his loyal lap dog, Ellie Blalock; his grandmother, Mary S. "Nana" Curran; and numerous extended family members. He was lovingly cared for by Idenia "Jackie" Quarterman in Savannah and Jadd Rellar in Steamboat Springs, CO.
Edward was born in Savannah on March 26, 1988. He attended May Howard Elementary and Coastal Middle School until he was 18 years old. He spent the first part of his life in Savannah beaching, boating, swimming and enjoying the salt air. He later moved to Steamboat Springs, CO where he spent his time horseback riding, skiing, camping and being outdoors with his peer group. Edward touched the lives of everyone he met. His laugh was contagious, and his joyful spirit is something we will forever cherish and miss.
The family is hosting a private celebration of Edward's life.
Edward was an active participant of Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports (STARS). In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations in Edward's honor to STARS https://steamboatstars.com.

Wrenn & family & Jackie, I am so sorry to hear of Edward’s passing. I cleaned his teeth for years before retiring at Dr. Fana’s office. His visits were something I looked forward to. I used to tease him that he knew he had to let the old lady clean his teeth but he really came to check out the great looking young ladies that worked with me. He would laugh so. His smile would always light up my day. It was evident he was well taken care of and loved immensely. Sincerely, Sharon Brookshire
