SWAYZEE – Eden Anthony Blackburn, 3 months, Fairmount, went to be with Jesus at 12:47 p.m. Feb. 13, 2015. He was the beloved infant son of Rachael Blessing and Kirk Blackburn, who survive. Even though he lived only three months, his precious life will live on forever in the hearts of his family and friends. He loved to take in everything going on around him, from watching Mommy’s every move to laughing when his daddy would sneeze; he was just starting to gain his own personality. He loved his brother, Korbin, who would often steal his binkie, so that he could use it. He was known as “snuggle bug,” because he loved to snuggle up in blankets next to his family. His contagious laugh and smile will be forever missed by his friends and family. Also surviving are grandparents: Jeffrey and Rebecca Blessing, Fairmount; Rick and Zona Blackburn and Kristen Tucker, all of Warsaw; an uncle, Damion Blackburn; and three aunts: Amber, Ashley and Abigail Blackburn. Services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Needham-Storey-Wampner, Rybolt Chapel, 314 N. Washington St., Swayzee, with Pastor John Lenfestey officiating. Calling is from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. ***** Condolences may be sent via www.nswcares.com
