Obituary

Steven A Blackman Sr born March 19th, 1955 of Orlando Florida by way of Bronx, New York departed this earthly life on August 8th, 2019.

Steven was predeceased by his parents Ashton and Vernice Blackman and his sister Nadine Blackman.

Steven is survived by his son Steven A Blackman Jr and wife Nikole, ex-wife Judy Blackman, daughter Cheryl A Beverly, grandchildren Alysia, Mickayla, Vanessa, and Ashton, and great grandchildren Amira and Aliyah.

During his early years, Steven attended Bronx Community College where he obtained his Bachelor’s Degree, City College where he obtained his Master’s of Science in Education, and Long Island University where he obtained a second Master’s of Science degree. The overwhelming dedication he had toward his education led to 18 years tenured in education including time served as a Teacher, Counselor, Principal, and a College Adjunct Professor.

Aside from spending time creating lasting memories with friends and family, Steven had a host of hobbies including cooking, fishing, bowling, gardening, sports (little league coach), reading, and camping. He was well known for starting the first predominantly Black Boy Scout Troop (Troop 8) in Bridgeport Connecticut.

Steven will be missed but not forgotten. If he were here to comment, he would certainly say: 

“This Too Shall Pass”

 

A celebration of Steven’s life will be held 8/30/19 at 6:30pm:

Real Life Christian Church

2413 S. Goldenrod Rd. Orlando, Florida 32822

    Hey you

    So I was talking about you the other day...good things...

    We are still in this pandemic and I honestly don’t see an end in sight. You really are safer where you’re at...

    All is well with me and all the kiddos. Mikayla got a financial scholarship for the entire 4 years at Georgia State... she has to maintain a 3.0 average...which she is motivated to do. You would be so proud of her.

    Well I was just passing thru.

    Love ya.

    Hey there,

    Happy 4th... tomorrow... remember the boxes of fireworks you would get on-line and the show that you put on for the entire neighborhood? Well there are no real fireworks being sponsored here in Fl. but folks will be blowing them off illegally.. Believe me, you are safer up there looking down...

    Enjoy the party up there... ✋ high fives and hugs to the folks.

    Steven,

    Happy Heavenly Father’s Day...

    This is a difficult day for Jr., Cheryl, the girls , and yes, me too. Ashton was too young to remember, but he will learn all the stories about grandpa as he grows up.

    Give everyone up there a hug and a high five. Keep an extra eye on Hoag.

    Love

    Me.

    I was so sad to hear of Mr B’s passing. I thought of him last week and searched for his name and number when I found the obit. The last time I called him— Judy you said Be prepared -he might not know me or remember much. But after dropping a couple key words he came right out and said my nickname he always called me! If it wasn’t for him as my teacher two years I bet I never would have graduated SHS. He was a great teacher and and a caring friend with an infectious smile ! I am blessed our paths crossed and wish you all peace. May he forever watch over us all with that same sweet smile upon his face.

    Continue to stay close and watch over the kids.

    You are missed and loved.

    Love ❤️ Ya,

    You loved to wish folks happy VD and would laugh so hard afterwards.
    Well Steven, happy VD to you. I can almost hear you laughing now.
    I hope you are seeing all the great things happening in your family. The girls are doing o.k. The lil ones, Amira, Aliyah, and Ashton are just too cute. Steven was given an awesome promotion... you would be so proud of him. I bought a house in Cassleberry. Alysia is working in a Day Care now.
    You are missed more than you know. Say hello to all the family up there with you.

    Love me ❤️

    I’m sorry to read about Mr. Blackman passing away in August. He was my English teacher at Stamford high school 1979/1980 he was a great teacher, mentor & person. If it wasn’t for him helping & giving me that push I needed, I would not have graduated high school! When I found him on Facebook a few years back I was so excited I always remember him because he made a great impact on my life in high school. I could only imagine how much his family and friends loved him because he was a very special person! I want to send my sincere sympathies to his Family & friends. I will always cherish his signature note in my yearbook. May he Rest In Peace.
    Sincerely with love,
    Janet M. Moretti(Perillo)

    Steven,

    Do you remember us waiting till Christmas Eve to shop for the kids when the stores were open until midnight. Staying up till 2:am putting bicycles together? We would all open 1 gift at midnight, and the kids waking up at 6:00 am. .
    It’s not the same. I know we are all feeling the loss and missing you at this time.
    Merry Christmas

    Love
    Judy

    Steven, 24 years together makes for a lot of memories. C.C. and I were recalling so many, we laughed about some of your shenanigans, were sad when thinking about others. I am just glad for the life we had and the love we shared.

    The kids are having a tuff time. Their hearts are broken . I ask you just to be with them always until they can see you again.

    Love you ??
    Ju Bear.

    At night I lay awake hearing my mother’s crying about you passing. I know you are at peace and would want nothing but the best for our family. I miss you so much and every night at the same time I stay awake and can’t stop crying. I love you so much I miss you so much grandpa. ??
