Born Oct. 29, 1942, in Eastman, Ga., W. C. lived a life steeped in faith, hard work and the love of the outdoors. He leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Oveida Seay Blue. He is also survived by his two sons, Bill (Lori) Blue and Chris (Judy) Blue. His other children include: Donna (Stan) Land, Robby (Janyce) Worrell and Travis (Jessica) Worrell.

Later, he moved into investigations for the Marks and Brands Department – now the Department of Agriculture – where he dedicated 33 years. He spent more than 40 years serving the people with integrity. Outside of work, W.C. was a man of many passions. Rodeo, especially team roping and judging, was in his blood.

W. C. was preceded in death by his parents, Ordway and Mariwell Coleman Blue.
