Obituary-
Gary Patrick Blackard
Gary Patrick Blackard, 63, of
Clarksville passed away on February 25, 2010.
Pat was born June 6, 1946, to C.O.
(Bug) and Mamie Dougan Blackard and proud sisters and brother, Juanita,
Almeta, Rita, Ann, C.O., Phyllis, and later joined by his little
sister, Judy. As a boy, Pat loved to hunt and fish, something he never
outgrew.
Pat graduated from Hartman High
School in 1964 and attended The College of the Ozarks.
He married the love of his life,
Hylda Pierce, on February 20, 1965. Together they built a wonderful
life and family that included three daughters, Stephanie, Sheila and
Patti Kaye.
A welder by trade, he used his
skills to do much more than earn a living. Pat volunteered to help
family and friends with projects frequently. An example of his talent
can be seen from when he helped a good friend bring to life a symbol of
faith. You may have noticed it, it's the cross that is seen while
driving east on I-40 near Mulberry.
Pat played as hard as he worked. He
enjoyed playing softball, riding his Harley, hunting and fishing. But
the thing that brought him the most enjoyment was time spent with his
grandchildren, Conor, Rooster, Gidget, Buddy-Rough, and Patrick.
He was an active member and deacon
of Second Baptist Church in Clarksville.
Because of the decision Pat made to
accept the gift of salvation, on February 25, 2010 when his journey on
this earth ended, his eternal journey began in the presence of his Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pat is survived by his wife of 45
years, Hylda Pierce Blackard; three daughters and sons-in-law,
Stephanie and Steve Habenicht of Little Rock, Sheila and Ric Academia
of Kona, Hawaii, and Patti and Greg Alexander of Plano, Texas; five
grandchildren, Conor and Seth Patrick Habenicht of Little Rock, Grace
Academia of Kona, Hawaii, and Grayson and Patrick Alexander of Plano,
Texas; one brother, C.O. Blackard Jr. of Clarksville; five sisters,
Juanita Ehren of Clarksville, Rita Daniel of Hot Springs Village, Ann
Dorman of Gruver, Texas, Phyllis Sparks of New Boston, Texas, and Judy
Hardgrave of Clarksville; a multitude of treasured nieces and nephews,
extended family and friends. He was preceeded in death by his parents,
C.O. and Mamie Dougan Blackard and one sister, Almeta Yerby of Van
Buren.
