The latest update on memorial activities for Dreux Blalock:
Dreux’s family has decided to wait until after the holidays to hold Dreux’s memorial in order to have time to properly prepare to honor his wishes for his memorial.
The family is asking that people submit their favorite photos of Dreux into this Google Drive directory hosted by our friends from The Consortium of Genius:
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1hIUcSJyj9H-cXbh3i-R1NAIQgKx0QvRo. You may need to sign into Google or open it in a browser or your Google Drive app in order to upload.
So be looking through your photo histories for you favorite memories to have them handy. Please note that this album is shared directly with Dreux’s family for their review and memories of Dreux and choose the photos you upload accordingly.
We fully intend to have memorial services after the rush of the holidays has passed and we have been able to make proper plans in accordance with Dreux’s wishes.
Thanks to all who have shared their condolences and memories. It does our hearts good to hear from so many who Dreux has impacted over the years.
******Taken from The Suzaku 7 page as it wouldn't allow me to share their post in total here. This post in its entirety was written by them. Other then I removed their first sentence which was a personalized greeting for their fans, which was not appropriate to keep in our sharing of their well written and informative post.

We are heartbroken to have to step from our dark shadows (retirement) to inform everyone, that Dreux Blalock, Our Sabbot leader, our Captain of the Sub, Our Russian general, started his last voyage into the unknown, yesterday November 24, 2022.
We are understandably shocked and absolutely devastated, as are many others, by the loss of our dear friend, our brother (in arms), and not only member of our Con family but member of our normal family. As such an active member of the Gulf Coast Convention World, his loss will be felt by many, for many years to come.
Knowing Dreux like we did, I can't think of a better last words here, then the poem O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman about the death of President Lincoln.
Rest well Brother, our love and hearts go with you.
Sincerely,
Red Revolution

O Captain! My Captain!
BY WALT WHITMAN
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
