Blair graduated from Dumont High School in 1974. He was a farmer by trade, but saw each harvest as an opportunity to spend time with his family. Blair was a member of the United Methodist Church. He was an avid outdoorsmen, and enjoyed hunting and taking annual fishing trips to Lake Pippen, Minnesota with his kids. His real passion however, was riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He was a member of A.B.A.T.E and the Aredale Fire Department for several years. Blair had a very special place in his heart for Sue Kroeze, her daughters Kiley and Jesi, and her grandsons, Sterling, Ethan and Weston, all of Clarksville.

He was preceded into death by his paternal and maternal grandparents. Blair's contagious smile and laughter will be deeply missed by all that have had the pleasure to call him father, son, brother and friend. Burial will be in the Dumont Cemetery
