Bryan L. Blackston

It was "one glad morning" in February of 2014, that BRYAN CORNEL BLACKSTON quietly slipped away to be with his Dr. Jesus! On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, God decided to inform family and friends of Bryans transition to his new and permanent home address. Bryan, affectionately known as, "Doodles" and the "Candyman", was born on August 22, 1967 to Earl and Rev. Janice Henry Blackston. He was the youngest of eight siblings. Bryan received his education from the Kent County Public School System and received his Christian education from Mt. Olive A.M.E. Church. Bryan's Christian nurturing began under the Rev. John T. Chambers and Sunday School Superintendent, Liza Butler. Bryan attended Sunday School and sang on the Sunday School choir, and the family choir, the "Gospel Waves", and even played his drums. Bryan loved to sing and he loved to listen to gospel quartet groups. Some of his favorite song/hymns were: "Dr. Jesus Said He'll Make Everything Alright", "What A Friend We Have In Jesus", and "Yes Jesus Loves Me!" Bryan had various employers over the years including: Harbor House, Great Oaks Landing, Leers, Dixon Valves and Dixon Auction.
