Charles "David" Blaylock

Charles David Blaylock, known to everyone as David, was born in

Dallas, TX on August 14th, 1954. He is preceded in death by his father

Charles Albert Blaylock, his mother Jewel Elaine Lisciandro, and his favorite

aunt Betty Brounley.

David is survived by his wife Julie; son Brandon (Heather) Blaylock, their

three children: Kayden, Levi, and Malachi; and daughter Candice (John)

Nichols.

David was warmly accepted into the Peterson clan, (Julie’s family), as if

one of their own. He is preceded in death by Julie’s parents and one of his

beloved sisters-in-law, Jane Leach. He is survived by the rest of his in-laws

and their spouses: David (Carolyn) Peterson, Darwin (Kathy) Peterson,

Kevin (Deena) Peterson, Mike (Marilu) Leach, Karen (David) Briles, Sandra

(David) Dargel, and Stanley (Teresa) Peterson. There are also an

ever-expanding number of children and grandchildren, too numerous to

mention.

David’s cause of death began with a camping misadventure. On Saturday,

October 3rd, he fell and suffered a broken femur doing one of the things he

loved best: camping with his daughter Candice. Sunday morning he had a

rod implanted in his femur. Unfortunately, due to complications from the

surgery, he had a probable pulmonary embolism, leading to cardiac arrest.

He was pronounced dead around 5:00 P.M. on October 7th, 2026.

We mourn his death, but rejoice that we know he is in heaven. He

accepted Jesus as his Savior as a young boy and honored God while serving

in the Army, doing missionary work in Brazil, and working as a substance

abuse counselor.

David’s memorial service is being held at Fellowship Forney Church,

located at 417 Pinson Rd., Forney, TX, from 4:00 - 5:30 on Saturday,

October 17th, 2026. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to

Samaritan’s Purse. The family will be made aware of any contribution
