FLOYD, Va. Wilson Harvey Blackwell began his earthly journey in Floyd County, Va. on January 27, 1919 as the youngest child of William Isaac and Eliza Blackwell.

He loved and is loved by his family more than any human could imagine. Next to his family, his joy and passion was his farm, land, and cattle. He was a World War II veteran having served in the Army Air Corp as an airplane mechanic.

His earthly journey ended October 14, 2015 when God came and took him home.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife and best friend for more than 64 years, Jaqueline Poff Blackwell; and daughters, Carolyn (and Doug) Sneed, Annette Blackwell, and Yvonne Blackwell; and grandson, Dan DeMartin (and Edina). He is also survived by several brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to the Carilion Hospice staff and his caregiver, Sandra Hartman. Funeral service was held Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 2 p.m. with Pastor Roy Turpin officiating. Interment followed in Restvale Cemetery (Head-of-the-River), Check, Va. Friends called Saturday, October 17, 2015 after 5 p.m. at Gardner Funeral Home, where the family was from 5 until 7 p.m. Online condolences may be made at www.gardnerfuneralhome.com Flowers are appreciated, but contributions may be made in his memory to the Floyd County Fire Department, Station #3, 1710 King Store Rd., Check, VA 24072.
