Blake Robert Bleazard
November 30, 1978 — March 21, 2026
Malad, Idaho — We lost an amazing husband, stepdad, son, brother, and uncle on Saturday, March 21, 2026.
Blake was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Clark and Julie Bleazard and was adored by his two older sisters. He grew up in South Jordan, Utah, and graduated from Bingham High School in 1997.
Blake was always one for adventure. He loved hunting, fishing, and running hound dogs, but most of all, he loved riding horses. Horses weren’t just a hobby for Blake—they were his passion. He raised and bred exceptional cutting horses, and if given the chance, he would gladly talk about them all day.
He married the love of his life, Andrea Peterson Bills, on lucky 7-7-07. On that day, he also took on the most rewarding—and challenging—role of stepdad. Blake loved Shandee as his own and was incredibly proud of the wife and mother she has become.
Blake was a journeyman lineman and was working for Sturgeon Electric at the time of his passing. Throughout his career, he met many great people and built lasting friendships.
In 2017, Blake and Andrea moved to Malad to live out their dreams of farming, breeding and training horses, and raising a few steers. Blake made many dear friends there and knew it was exactly where they were meant to be.
He is survived by his wife, Andrea; stepdaughter Shandee (Shad) Roberts of Spanish Fork, Utah; and two grandchildren. He is also survived by his parents, Clark and Julie Bleazard of South Jordan, Utah; his sisters, Brittni Bleazard of South Jordan, Utah, and Jill (Troy) Horton of South Jordan, Utah; his in-laws, Dwight and Linda Peterson of St. George, Utah, and Pam Freeze of South Jordan, Utah; brothers and sisters in law Scott and Carlene Peterson of Bluffdale, Utah, Suzanne Aiono of Riverton, Utah, and Jeff and Lana Peteson of Tucson, Arizona, along with many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Gail Bleazard and Julius and Gwen Pritzkau, father-in-law, Del Freeze and brothers in law Steven Peterson and Ta’a Aiono.
A graveside service will be held Friday, March 27, 2026, at 12:00 noon at Samaria Cemetery in Samaria, Idaho. Friends may call at the funeral home on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM, and again Friday morning from 11:00 to 11:45 AM.
