Skylar Patrick Blackwell has been laid to rest next to his father in the Yates Center Cemetery in Yates Center, Kansas. He had a beautiful graveside service with all his family present including his biological family. Uncle Kurtis singing Amazing Grace was a beautiful addition to the services which I know Skylar was smiling down at.

MEMORIES

Skylar Blackwell, 23 of Houston, TX, passed away Thursday June 15^th, 2017 from a motorcycle accident.

Skylar was born in Wichita, Kansas on May 22^nd, 1994. He grew up in the Yates Center/Eureka, KS area. He moved to Jennings, OK where he graduated from Yale High School. Skylar moved to Houston, TX shortly after graduating to join his siblings. Skylar entered into the Oil & Gas Industry as a machinist and remained within that field of work until his death. Skylar enjoyed the outdoors and when he wasn’t working you can bet you could find him at a random pond he spotted off the side of the road. He grew up following in the footsteps of his father and shared his passion for fishing.  As he got older and moved to Jennings, OK that’s where his love for motorcycles began. He was a free willed individual and loved adventure. He enjoyed spending time with his friends and family and was willing to lend a hand when needed.

Skylar is preceded in death by his father, Bryan Blackwell; his grandfather, Michael Blackwell; his sister, Rachel Yost and his aunt, Patty Escareno.
