Aulsie Blackmon Obituary
WARRENVILLE, S.C. - Mr. Aulsie "A.G." Blackmon, age 90, of Warrenville, S.C., devoted husband for 65 years to the late Dorothy Jay Blackmon and son of the late Irvin G. Blackmon and the late Mattie Hutto Blackmon, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, August 2, 2014.
He is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Terry and Margie Blackmon of Mokena, Illinois, Bruce and Kathleen Blackmon of Aiken, S.C.; a sister, Iris "Nell" Clovis of Virginia; a brother, Tunny Blackmon of Greenwood, S.C.; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by a son, Timothy Blackmon.
"A. G.", as he was so fondly known by his family and friends, was very active member of the local community. He was a member of the Aiken Men's Prayer Breakfast. He retired from Graniteville Company as Director of Quality. He was in the Navy CB's having served during World War II in the European and the Pacific Theaters. He was a very intelligent man, and if you ever read the Editorial Section of the Aiken Standard or the Augusta Chronicle, you would have to know who "A.G." was, as he quite often would send an article to the papers, and the content was always worth reading. The family stated that he lived as he died; a Christian.
The funeral service will be held in the Chapel of Napier Funeral Home on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 2:00 PM with Rev. Jonathan Randall and Rev. Stephen Phillips officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday from 12:00 noon until the hour of service. The interment will follow the service at the Graniteville Cemetery. The Pallbearers will be William Baughman, Dwight Smith, Joel Randall, Brian Williams, Jackie Blackmon and Barry Blackmon. Members of the Aiken Men's Prayer Breakfast will serve as Honorary Pallbearers. Memorials may be made to the Warrenville United Methodist Church, P. O. Box 38, Graniteville, S.C. 29829.

Terry, Bruce and Family,
Your dad is one of a kind. I say "is" because he still is. His body may be waiting to be reunited with his spirit, but he is still very much alive. Thank God for His promises and we will all be seeing him again in the future. I know his spirit is rejoicing to see Jesus (and your mother), along with all that have gone before him. He will be missed in this life, but he has accomplished all he looked forward to while he was here. I am sorry I couldn't manage to attend his memorial, but my heart is with you all. If any of the Osbon clan can be of service to you, do not hesitate to call. Much love.

To A.G.'s Family,
I am so sorry to read about A.G. this morning. He was on my mind to call today and I didn't get to call him. We are praying for his family. He was loved by a lot of people and we will miss him. He always was a good man at Graniteville Co. and I enjoyed working with him. We also enjoyed his letters to the Editor. What he had to say needed to be said.

Mr A.G. will be truly missed. My parents couldn't have asked for better neighbors. He is in a better place now with Mrs. Dot. The memories that I have of listening to all his fascinating stories either from him in the military or just in life in general will always be cemented in my brain. God gained a great man in heaven now.

I was so very sorry to learn of Mr. Blackmon's death. I remember fondly the many afternoons that I spent in the Blackmon home during elementary school when I would go home with Tim to spend the afternoon. I always enjoyed talking with both Mr. and Mrs. Blackmon. To Bruce, Terry, and families, I pray that God will grant you his peace during this time.

We are so sorry for the loss of such a talented man of God. He taught us so much. He and Dot's work and life for the Lord will never be forgotten. They were true mentors and examples of Godly life for us. We will miss these folks but plan to see them again one day.
