Your pain is over my friend. You were probably one of the most respected members of this site and your advocation on the part of our poolees who went to be recruits and eventually Marines will never been forgotten by those young men and women (or us older Jarheads).

Rest in well deserved peace, Marine. New Corporal of the Guard reporting aboard.

I just got home and read this and I'm sad and glad at the same time because Dave isn't hurting anymore.
I never got to meet Cpl Dave Blaylock but talked to him on Leatherneck and was honored to say Good Morning to him the past months.
Cpl Dave Blaylock was a Marines Marine to the end and I was proud to have known of him.
Thanks to his son for letting us know of this sad news. I know at this sad time its hard to think of everything to do.

I want to send my condolences to his family, I'll be praying for ya'll.. But just remember he's in a better place.

Maybe one day I'll be able to send you a "Semper Fi", Cpl. Blaylock.
Thank you for your service and my freedom, sir.

My Deepest Sympathy and Condolences for the Family and Friends....

Rest in Peace

When we have done all the work we were sent to Earth to do, We are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterfly;
And when the time is right, we can let go of it and we will be free of pain, free of fears and worries, free as a very beautiful butterfly returning home to God.

God Bless

My condolences go out to your family but I'm glad you don't have to fight any more and can truely rest easy.


May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Marine stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes wew shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other check?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times, my talk was tough,
And sometimes I"ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Through, I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though, at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's street,
You've done your time in Hell."


SEMPER FIDELIS :flag:


AND WHEN HE GOES TO HEAVEN.......

TO ST. PETER HE WILL TELL, ........

I SERVED MY TIME IN HELL......

It feels really empty not being to say Good Morning to Dave. My heart is sad and empty but I feel relief that Dave isn't suffering anymore.
This thread show how Once A Marine Always A Marine is true even in death.
Marines are always there for there brothers.
I was very proud to have know Dave and wish I would have been able to meet him in person.
It touches my heart also that Dave had so many friends.
Hope reading all these tributes about Dave help heal the family and thanks again to Dave's son for letting us know about his passing. To Dave's son you are very welcome on Leatherneck and look forward to talking to you.
Happy Trails Dave

One of Dave's first posts when he came on this site...before he became actively involved in the poolee letter writing was that he was wanting a P-39 can opener (John Wayne).

I had two and I requested his address and sent him one....

From the first day I met him him in posts and PM's since I do not do the chat...he came to this site as a true dignified Marine...

And too read that last post that he typed on his own 12 days before his demise when he was placed on hospice...he left this site as the same dignified Marine with out falter.

ALL Marines touch our hearts and our daily lives.....Dave just had the knack to touch many lives and many hearts with his true Marine presence.

After his Vietnam wound recovery he served his country in the Army until he retired.....but Dave...as he said it himself was always a Marine from day one...and a fine example of a Marine who's foot steps and boots will be hard to be replaced on this earth.

To the Blaylock family...Semper Fidelis....we know not your pain...but our love for Dave is threefold and we as Marines and friends are here you!:evilgrin:

Dave, I really don't know what to say. This is a crushing blow to me. I knew the day would come, but I wished that it wouldn't. You were more than a mentor and a friend. You were everything that anyone could ask for in those, but you were more. You were a brother, a true brother, and you provided many a Marine with the ability and the confidence and the esprit de corps that allowed them to succeed through their demons and their fears. You provided an avenue for others to emulate your success and press through the hardest of all their fears. If there is a time in my life that I have literally been crushed from such a loss, this would be it. This man has been a large part of my success in the Marine Corps as many as you know. I owe him everything I have accomplished and I can only hope that his family knows just how much Dave meant to many of us. I dont know what I am going to do without Dave being there to provide me with an open ear and an honest heart. The world has lost a good man and it is sad that many a Marine will never get the ability to meet him and have a path to success paved by him. Wow...I just dont know what to say. I am crushed. I am truly honored to have known you Dave and know that you have gone peacefully and the pain is over. You were my friend and my brother. Reast In Peace and the most heartfelt Semper Fi to you and your family.

I dont know what I am going to do without Dave being there to provide me with an open ear and an honest heart. The world has lost a good man and it is sad that many a Marine will never get the ability to meet him and have a path to success paved by him. Wow...I just dont know what to say. I am crushed. I am truly honored to have known you Dave and know that you have gone peacefully and the pain is over. You were my friend and my brother. Reast In Peace and the most heartfelt Semper Fi to you and your family.

Your friend,
Mike
We'll miss you so much Dave


Mike, I know you were especially close to Dave. Probably the closest any poolee/recruit/young Marine was that I am aware of. We were all honored to know him, either in person or electronically (or by snail mail). Moreover, we were blessed.

My words of advice for all Marines who had been mentored and helped by Dave Blaylock is: Earn This.

It's a sad day to see a brother transfer. Dave, you will be missed.
When things got particularly rough for Dave I asked him how his relationship with our Father was. He replied, not perfect..but I know Him. It is a time of rejoicing, for Dave has gone home.

When it's written:

"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in this world", you can say before our Lord and Saviour, you didn't have that problem, you were a United States Marine.

Semper Fi Marine. . .Thank you for being you.

Its been a long time for this, but I haven't been around a while, but I owe my career, my success, and everything I have been given in my life over the last 9 years to Dave. It is because of him that I found the drive and I fell in love with the Marine Corps. It is today, on Memorial Day that I would like to remind everyone of this Marine and what he did for so many of us.
