Reverend Gordon Logan Blackwell
1929-2017
The death of Reverend Gordon Logan Blackwell, husband of the
late Hazel Blackwell, occurred on Thursday, July 6, 2017 at The Church
of St. John and St. Stephen Nursing Home. Gordon was born in Ontario
on May 28, 1929.
In 1955, he was, upon graduation from Knox College, appointed
to the pastoral Charge of Rosetown and Biggar, Saskatchewan.
He was re-appointed to the Pastoral Charge of Saint Columba,
Lancaster, Saint Paul’s, Hampton, Barnesville and
Chalmer’s Sussex. This gave him a Pastoral Charge
to travel in his 38 Chev that extended from Lancaster to Wickham, to
Ward’s Creek, the other side of Sussex and to
Upham. He conducted his first service of Worship in Saint
Columba Presbyterian Church on October 2, 1955.
His Ministry spanned from 1955 to 1998, 43 years.
He worked side-by-side with his wife Hazel in many aspects of
Ministry. The two were deeply devoted to one
another. His experience in teaching helped him spread the
good news of our Lord.
He and Hazel loved camping and would take their trailer back
to Ontario for regular summer vacations. Most recently they
had a seasonal lot at Lakeside Campground.
Arrangements are under the care of
