Blair was born and raised in Medicine Hat. At the age of 14, Blair and his family left Medicine Hat and moved to Edmonton, where they stayed for two years before moving to Lethbridge. Lethbridge is where he met and married Karen and had their three children together. Blair later moved back to Medicine Hat and began a career as a parts man.

He loved, fed and cared for the wild rabbits that surrounded his front door. He loved NASCAR races, cars, the mechanics of cars and motorbikes, photography, lakes, dirt roads, music, and his friends and family. “Blair… you will be forever loved and missed. We hope you finally find the peace your soul yearned for. Say hello and give Mom and Dad a big hug for all of us. Love always, dear brother.” A Celebration of Life will be held on September 05, 2026, at 1:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 Saamis Rotary Way SW, Medicine Hat, AB T1B 4P3.
