Kenneth Wendell Blocker
We regretfully announce the passing of Mr. Kenneth Blocker who passed away on Saturday, February 15, 2025, in a Panama City, Florida hospital.
Ken was a beloved and much respected resident of Crestview, Florida his entire adult life. He graduated from Crestview High School and attended college of the Ozarks in Missouri. He returned to Crestview afterward to start his family and a long industrious career in several businesses. Ken was a Crestview City Councilman for several years helping shape the city he so loved.
Ken was an expert golfer known by all as a congenial partner. His family was his first love and his devotion to them is well known. He was small in stature with a huge, golden heart. He offered much unsolicited help to many Crestview residents and was the rock of the Blocker family.
Ken is survived by his loving wife, Jan Blocker, his daughter, Lisa Steele Blocker, his sister, Linda Glenn (David), his brothers Donald Blocker (Bonnie) and Darrel Blocker (Cindy), his two grandsons, Tristen and Trent Sugarman where a special joy in his later years as were his many nieces and nephews. Ken was a loving, caring, God fearing man who was an Angel to so many.
Ken will join his mother and father, Iva and Herbert Blocker, his brother, Randal Blocker and his beloved son, Jeff Blocker who he has missed so much in a heavenly homecoming.
Rest In Peace, Brother

What a loss for us all. I will miss knowing he is in this world, but enjoy knowing he is reunited with his mom. He was the epitome of the definition of the phrase “ a character” I knew him for over 60 years and I’m sad.

A great man! My deepest condolences to Jan, Lisa and family.
Ken had such a great sense of humor and the gift of determination. Say it couldn’t be done, and he found a way. Although his homecoming was surely a sweet one to his momma, family and friends…his passing will leave a hole in the hearts of many.

We are forever grateful and humbled by the kindness and care Ken extended as he and Jan cared for our mother in her final stages of Alzheimer’s. He was a wonderful brother in law.
The love he and Jan shared, as husband and wife, is an example as God intended.
The strength that Ken demonstrated in his final hours indicated the peace he had with his Lord and Savior.
We love you and you are greatly missed. Pat Cobb

This hurt my heart in so many ways to find out that you are gone. When my dad Alex passed away you swore to him that you would do everything you could to make sure I would be ok when he left me, and now that I’ve finally gotten to where I can deal with that I lose you, you where the stand in dad and I loved you just like you where the real deal. Ken you are tremendously missed by so many and loved by so many more. I pray for your wife and children as they all go through these difficult times. We shall meet again ❤️

Ken, you were so very kind to allow Jan to keep mama at your house all these years. We are all grateful to you for that. We certainly weren’t expecting you to go so soon, but know you are with other loved ones who have gone before. We are praying for Jan, as she took such good care of you too. Now Rest in Peace. Love, Bobbie Cobb and family.
