Celebrating the life of
Edward Brennan "Bird" Blalock
March 26, 1988 - September 02, 2020
“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.

We offer our condolences to the family; we were saddened when we heard the news that Edward passed away. Mrs. Mary and Mr. Wren, although losing a loved one isn't easy, but Jehovah is the hearer of prayer(Phillipians 4:6-7) and remember that Edward will live again. Notice these comforting words from God in Revelation 21:3-4, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Sincerely, Alvin & Annie Mack and Michelle Hopkins ⚘

I share this bible scriptures with the family, 2 Corinthians 1: 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.
