Remembering Blair Balmforth: A Devoted Public Servant and Cherished Friend
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear friend, colleague, and brother in service, Blair Balmforth. Blair departed this life recently, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering dedication, honor, and compassion that touched countless lives within his community and beyond.
Blair Balmforth was more than just a colleague—he was a guiding light to those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. A committed public servant, Blair spent his life in service to others, driven by a quiet strength, a deep moral compass, and an unshakable commitment to justice and fairness. Whether in uniform or in everyday life, he lived with purpose, humility, and an open heart.
Throughout his career, Blair embodied the true spirit of duty. He was not only respected for his professional skills and leadership but was deeply admired for his humanity. He took the time to listen, to help, and to lift others up in their darkest moments. His colleagues describe him as someone who never sought the spotlight, yet consistently led by example—with integrity, with courage, and with an unwavering sense of right and wrong.
Outside of his career, Blair was a cherished family man and a loyal friend. He valued quiet moments, meaningful conversations, and acts of service that too often went unnoticed but made a world of difference to those around him. To his friends, he was a source of steady strength and gentle humor. To his family, he was a cornerstone—a loving presence who supported, protected, and encouraged with every fiber of his being.
His passing leaves an immense void in our hearts and in the community he helped nurture. Words cannot fully express the depth of this loss or the sorrow felt by those left behind. Yet in this moment of grief, we also celebrate Blair’s life—one marked by selflessness, humility, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of others.
The impact Blair made on those around him will live on. His memory will continue in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught, and the example he set. He showed us what it means to serve with honor, to love with loyalty, and to live with quiet, powerful dignity.
We extend our deepest condolences to Blair’s family—his loved ones who supported him through every season of life. May they find peace and comfort in the outpouring of love and remembrance from all who were touched by Blair’s extraordinary presence.
A memorial service to celebrate Blair Balmforth’s life will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite all who knew him to share memories, reflections, and messages of support as we grieve together and honor a life beautifully lived.
Rest in peace, Blair. Your service, your friendship, and your spirit will never be forgotten. You were, and always will be, one of the best among us.
