Trace Blackner

Trace Tyler Blackner left this earth unexpectedly on Tuesday March 22nd 2016. Trace was born March 31st 1983 in Ogden, UT. Trace was loved and adored by many.

Trace came into this world with an exuberance in life. As a child he is remembered for his never ending adventures and antics. He always had a sparkle in his eye and made everyone laugh with his wit.

Trace attended Layton High School. He was quick to make friends with all and enjoyed doing whatever he possibly could to help brighten their day. His sense of humor and jokes made the most of every situation. He loved playing all sports and had a natural talent. Baseball was one of his loves. He pitched for Layton High School and went on to pitch at Brown Mackie College and Weber State University. He was a devout fan of the Utah Jazz, BYU, and the Dallas Cowboys.

His love for family was radiant. He spent as much time as possible with his nieces and nephews. He would support them in all of their activities, sharing his love and enthusiasm for sports.

Trace had many who loved and supported him throughout his journey here on earth, especially his Mother and Father who have been his best friends and by his side through it all. Trace was able to overcome his earthy trials the lord had given him before he was called home. It is now time for him to use his talents and play ball with the Lord’s angels on the other side.

Trace is preceded in death by his Grandparents, Ray and Wanda Blackner and his Grandfather Alton Jensen. He is survived by his parents, Tyler and Kathy Blackner; his siblings Tyson (Brook) Blackner, Texie (Kirk) Brown, Aaron (Anne) Blackner, and Lindsay (Nathan) Thacker; his Grandparents, Gerald and Bonnie Allen and his loving nieces and nephews.
