William Mark Blacklock

It is with sadness that we share that Will Blacklock passed away on Thursday, October 2 after a long battle with cancer.

Will Mark Blacklock, born on July 24, 1967, in New Jersey, passed away on October 2, 2025, at the age of 58. He was a resident of Thornton, Colorado.

Will, and his wife, Stephanie Grauerholz, have been part of the Cross of Christ community for about 15 years. They were married just this past year after being partners for many years.

Will was 58 years old. He was a gifted web designer, a passionate photographer, an avid book collector, and a devoted fan of all things Godzilla. Most of all, he cherished time with his family. He faithfully supported his stepsons, Malachi and Elijah, in their sports and activities, and was a caring presence to his in-laws, Del and Shirley Grauerholz, as well as his niece, nephews, and many friends.

Will is survived by his wife, Stephanie; stepsons Malachi and Elijah Lofton; his in-laws Del and Shirley; his brother David Blacklock, and sister, his sister Leslie (Blacklock) Beunier and husband, Jeff Beunier; niece Piper, nephews Preston and Remington; and his extended family and friends.

We give thanks for Will’s faithful spirit and the many ways he blessed our lives with his love, strength, and kindness. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Please hold his family in your prayers as they grieve this deep loss. Even as we mourn, we give thanks for the gift of resurrection hope and for Will's life and witness among us.
