The City of Russell Springs extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of former Council Member David C. Blakey. Mr. Blakey faithfully served our community for 16 years on the Russell Springs City Council, and his dedication, leadership, and love for this community will always be remembered.

We are grateful for his many years of public service, his commitment to the citizens of Russell Springs, and his proud service to our country as a United States Navy veteran. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Christine, his children, grandchildren, and the entire Blakey family during this difficult time.

City Hall will be closed from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to allow employees to attend the visitation for Mr. Blakey at Bernard Funeral Home. We appreciate the public's understanding as we honor Mr. Blakey's many years of dedicated service to the City of Russell Springs and to our community.

All the best,

Christopher Ramsey

City Clerk/Treasurer
