James F Blackmon, also known to friends and family as Teddy, was a private man. He spent his life as a welder and was a very hard worker. The biggest thing of note about James is he was a fierce provider and protector for his family. He passed peacefully in the hospital surrounded by his wife and children.

He's been cremated and is going home with his family for a private ceremony to celebrate his life. Anyone who reads this all he asked was to have a toast in his honor.

Survived by his wife, Annette Blackmon, and two daughters, Stephanie Blackmon and Angela Blackmon.
