Obituary: John Paul Blevins, 65, Metcalfe County attorney He was a gifted man, who is remembered for his athletic prowess, his keen intellect, his talent for taking the measure of others, and for his great wit and command of the language John Paul Blevins, retired Metcalfe County Attorney and one of Old Met's favorite sons, died Sunday, July 22, 2007, at his home in Edmonton. Funeral services will be held at 1:00pm, Wednesday, July 25, 2007, at Butler Funeral Home, 201 East Street, on the Courthouse Square, in Edmonton, KY. Eulogies will be delivered by Jim Howard and his son, J.P. Blevins. Visitation will be from 4:00pm until 8:00pm Tuesday, May 24, 2007, and after 9:00am, Wednesday, July 25, at the funeral home. He was the son of the late Howard Blevins and Hazel Nunn Newton, Edmonton, KY, who survives. He was a member of the Edmonton Baptist Church. Besides his mother, he is survived by his wife, Martha Forbes Blevins, and the following:
He was a graduate of Metcalfe County High School, Union College, and the University of Kentucky Law College. As a young lawyer he practiced in Edmonton with Tom Emberton, who was later Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was appointed to take Mr. Emberton's post as Metcalfe County Attorney when Mr. Emberton resigned the post to take a position with the administration of Governor Louie B. Nunn and retained that office through the balance of the long tenure of Judge Woodrow Wilson and beyond. Br>Throughout his adult life, he had been a power in the Republican politics of the county. He had been the party's nominee for County Judge Executive in 2006, losing narrowly in a three-way general election. But his friendships crossed the political spectrum, spanning the Republican factions of his era, and including stalwart Democrats from the late Gilbert Wallace to Woodrow Wilson. In part, his political acumen rested in his ability to recognize abilities, to understand and measure character in others. In a larger measure, it was in the way he met the highest Metcalfe County standard of being able to hold strong and lasting friendships across every strata of social standing, up and down every level of economic well being, along the entire continuum of legal involvement from the successfully prosecuted to the impeccably innocent. At 6'6" tall, he was a physically imposing man--a big man, who is leaving a big void in the Metcalfe County life. Pallbearers will be Jim Walden, Royce Smith, Fred Ray, Dean Rowe, Billy Dugger, and Randall Trowbridge. Honorary pallbearers are Jim Rich, Curtis Martin, and Perry White. Butler Funeral Home, Edmonton, KY, is in charge of arrangements.
