John Charles Blocker, Sr., entered the world on August 17, 1942, at Gallenger Hospital in Washington, DC.  He was the second child of five born to Wilhelmina Marcus Blocker and William Blocker.  William, a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilhelmina, a native of Brevard, North Carolina, both had migrated north and settled in the nation's capital.

John's legacy is one of unwavering faith, deep love for his family, and a steadfast commitment to serving the Lord. He led with integrity, shared wisdom freely, and carried an unshakable trust in God's plan. His presence will live on in the warmth of family gatherings, in the conversations that challenge and inspire, and in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

John is survived by his loving wife, Dorcas Tinch Blocker; his sons, John Charles Blocker Jr. and David Tinch Blocker (Kristina); and his grandchildren, Antoinette Brooks, Audri Malcolm, Andrew Malcolm, Leah Blocker, Naomi Malcolm, and Noelle Malcolm. He also leaves behind a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Wilhelmina Blocker; his siblings, Willamae Thomas, Gwendolyn Brooks, William "Teenie" Blocker, and Brenda Blocker; his beloved son, Brian Joseph Blocker; and daughter, Nomoya Malcolm.
