He was predeceased by his grandparents on both sides of the family, Aunt Karen and Uncle Terry. His father, Kent, died in January of this year.
He is survived by his three sons, Mackenzie, Zachary and Ashton, who miss him terribly. Also surviving are his partner Shannon, his mother Lynne, brothers Glenn (Karen) and Jeremy (Karen), cousins Craig (Helen) and Leslie (Seamus), niece Annie, and nephews Dan, Bradey and Colby.
After graduating from Cariboo College, Blair had a variety of cooking posts: Fish and Co, Hastings House and Queen Charlotte Lodge, where he combined chef duties with being an occasional fishing guide. He came back to Kamloops and Cariboo College to teach Culinary Arts before working in the movie industry. He opened "Whats Cooking" restaurant on Victoria Street. Later he was a chef at the Wells Hotel. His last job was working at Costco, something he truly enjoyed.
Fly fishing, fresh and salt water, was his passion. An African walking safari with his dad and brothers was an exciting adventure. He produced many fantastic meals for his family.
No time to say goodbye. We will miss the many interesting discussions of life, food and politics.
