Jason Blankenship, Ph.D, of Albuquerque, New Mexico passed away on October 29, 2013 at the age of 43 in a tragic motorcycle accident.
He has completed his earthly tasks and has gone forward to accept his reward in heaven.
Jason was born in Freeport, Texas on December 18, 1969. His loving parents of Oyster Creek survive him.
Jason graduated from Angleton High School in 1988.
He attended Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas where he received his B.A. and M.A. degrees in Psychology.
Jason went on to earn his Ph.D in Psychology from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas in 1999.
Jason was a Senior Research Scientist and Research Assistant Professor at CASAA (Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions) at The University of New Mexico.
He was a member of the research team advancing the field of study in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.
His research involved travels to South Africa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, North Carolina, and Italy.
He was devoted to his research and believed the result of their work could help those affected by this devastating disorder.
He had great respect, admiration and love for those with whom he worked.
Jason also loved his volunteer work with the Make A Wish Foundation in Albuquerque and found great joy in the role he played as a "wish granter" to the children whose lives had been touched by serious illness.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the 'Jason Blankenship Memorial Fund' at any branch of the New Mexico Educator's Federal Credit Union (NMEFCU).
The hope is that enough funds will be raised to earn a Make a Wish Star in Jason's name which will grant a wish for a child.
In addition to his parents, he leaves behind a loving family including aunts and uncles, and many loving cousins and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by paternal grandparents James W. and Beulah Blankenship; maternal grandparents Anton K. and Pauline Partin; uncle and aunt, James A. and Barbara Partin, cousins James Partin and Tommy Speed
A memorial service is planned in Albuquerque for Thursday, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. at the UNM Alumni Memorial Chapel. The service will be followed by the planting of a memorial rose bush.
He has completed his earthly tasks and has gone forward to accept his reward in heaven.
