Melvin Joseph Blackburn, 55, Nelsonville, died unexpectedly Friday afternoon, March 3, 2000.
Born on May 31, 1944, in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Melvin L. and Virginia Graf Blackburn.
Mel was a 1962 graduate of Nelsonville High School, attended the University of Maryland and was a veteran of the United States Air Force. He was a member of St. Mary of the Hills Catholic Church, and president of Nelsonville-York Athletic Boosters.
Mel was chairman of the Nelsonville High School Alumni Scholarship investment fund and was a member of the Nelsonville Elks Lodge 543, Logan Moose 873, Nelsonville Chamber of Commerce, and The Ohio State University Buckeye Club, The Script Ohio Club and the Green and White Club.
Mel was also a past member and former chairman of the Nelsonville Recreation Commission.
Mel sponsored and coached boys and girls athletic programs. Dedicated to the sports programs at Nelsonville-York High School, he personally transported the football team's equipment to all away games for the past six years.
Mel spearheaded a renovation of the Nelsonville-York Gymnasium and weight room and expanded and updated the trophy cases. He was actively fund-raising for the new baseball/softball fields, football practice area, and sports center at Nelsonville-York High School and the 2002 NYHS ladies basketball trip to San Diego.
He was the driving force for fund-raising for N-Y athletics for the past five years.
In 1999, Mel donated to The Ohio State University furnishings for the players' lounge at the Bill Davis Baseball Stadium. Mel and his wife Nickie have contributed to The Ohio State University athletics, marching band and the grant-in-aid scholarships for over 15 years.
Mel was a generous benefactor of community projects. With his son JR, he was actively involved with the revitalization of The Parade of the Hills Festival. He contributed to Hocking College and cooperated in public service endeavors for residents of SEPTA Center. He was a member of the St. Mary of the Hills and N-Y High School Athletic bingos.
Blackburn Appliances has been a family affair since 1945, when Melvin's mother and father began their business at 346 Chestnut St. Both Mel and his sister, Mary, began working in the business when they were youngsters. When Mel returned from military service in 1968, he rejoined his father in business.
In 1976, when his father retired, Mel purchased the 5, 000-square-foot business. His success in the business led to several expansions. The first was in 1985 when he purchased a new building at 947 Chestnut St. and added home furnishings, becoming Blackburn Home Furnishings and Appliances.
The next expansion was the purchase of a lot at 950 E. Canal St., where he built the largest retail establishment in Southeastern Ohio, an accomplishment of which Mel was extremely proud. The showrooms at the Canal Street location were accomplished in three phases in 1991, 1995 and 1999, and their completion brought the square footage of the business to 35, 000 square feet.
Mel never met a stranger, loved family and friends ferociously and was a generous human being.
He is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Nickie Keller Blackburn; a daughter, Debra Mary; two sons, Keller Joseph and Melvin Joseph Jr. (JR) and Thomas W. Schmitz, all of Nelsonville; two sisters, Mary T. Blackburn Sparks of Nelsonville and Julie Ann Blackburn of Jackson; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Betty Jo and David P. Parsley of Nelsonville and Karen and Joe Pidcock of Athens; three nephews; six nieces; three great-nieces; three great-nephews; and special friends Delbert and Mary Kuhn of Nelsonville.
