Berton Kent Blazek

Berton Kent Blazek died in the early morning of March 26, 2025. Berton was born in Antigo, Wisconsin on July 10, 1926. An only child, his early years were spent working on the family farm where his life-long love of stationary engines and machinery began. Berton served in the United States military on the Korean Peninsula, and returned to the U.S. working as a logger in Northern California. Berton dedicated his life to serving Jesus Christ and met the love of his life, Joyce Arnold while attending Bible School in southern Saskatchewan in the early 1950's. Berton worked as a minister, in the forest industry, and in 1971 purchased a farm near Innisfree where he and Joyce lived until 2024.

He is mourned by his daughter Myrna Lynn Murdoch (Colin), his son Verle Blazek (Corrine), grandchildren Kerry Lynn Jacobs (Jaden, Kohle, Faith), and Arlen Jacobs (Natalie, Berton, Theodore, Russell). He is predeceased by his parents Joseph and Wymoga Blazek and grandson, Jacob Blazek.
