J. B. Blakeman (Class of 1981)

The scholarship was established in 2012 in memory of Jeffery Scott “J.B.” Blakeman. A graduate
of Morehead State University with an industrial technology degree, Blakeman was a member of
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and a Chi Omega sorority big brother.

As an avid outdoorsman he enjoyed hunting, fishing and wildlife photography. Blakeman also
loved golfing, was a member of the Eagle Trace Men’s Golf Association and was a proud supporter
of Rowan County and Morehead State athletics.

Blakeman passed away in September 2011 at the age of 52. Upon his passing, his wife, Vicki
Collins Blakeman (Class of 1981), along with his daughters, Taylor (Class of 2011) and Kennedy
(Class of 2018), established the J.B. Blakeman Memorial Golf Scramble in his memory. This
annual outing raises funds to support this scholarship endowment.
