Alvin Edward Blake

Ed leaves behind his wife of more than 25 years, Susan Blake of Bartlett, TN; his three children, Heather, Priscilla, and Bran; and two grandchildren Bailey and Luca, with a third grandchild on the way.

Ed was known as a hardworking man and was employed at Georgia Pacific, working in the location for over 27 years. He was a devoted father to his son Bran, and often could be seen taking him to wrestling matches, movies, monster truck rallies, or whatever Bran wanted to do with his Daddy. Ed’s presence will leave a tremendous hole in the hearts and lives of his family, as he gave up so much to provide and give them all a fulfilling life. He will forever be remembered for his love and unwavering loyalty to the family.

Another visitation will be held on Thursday, October 5 at 12pm, also at Family Funeral Care, with the main service to follow at 1pm.
