It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Charles (Chuck) Irvine Blackmer Jr, age 83 who passed away peacefully on 4/5/2025, in his home surrounded by his loved ones. Chuck was born on May 28,1941 in Gran Read Obituary
Blackie was my First Sergeant when I was a very young 1st Lieutenant Company Commander at Fort Carson, CO. He was a first rate teacher for a young officer who was in over his head, and his loyal service made me look far better than I had a right to expect. So many of the lessons he taught me resonate today, and he is still keeping me in one piece 40 years after we last saw each other. First Sergeant - rest in peace - you earned it many times over!

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it...
Our "DAD"
