Survivors include his wife, Linda Eslinger Blevins; two sons, James Blevins (Cari) of Signal Mountain, and Duane Blevins of Nashville; two grandsons, Jay and Jack Blevins; brother, Tommy (Lynn) Blevins of Lafayette; sister, Karen (James) Goforth of Ringgold; several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, at Brainerd Baptist Church with the Rev. Curtis Hill officiating. The family will receive friends from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the East Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, 404 South Moore Road, East Ridge, and from 2-3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, at Brainerd Baptist Church 300 Brookfield Ave., Chattanooga, Tn. 37411.
