KEARNEY â Friends called him âMr. Kearney,â but itâs not just because he was involved with key community organizations.
Bruce Blankenship was head of the Kearney Catholic Foundation, president of the Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce, and was Kearneyâs mayor in 2003-04.
In those three roles, Blankenship did much for the city he loved and made connections with a lot of important people.
Blankenship, 63, died from COVID-19 on Sunday at CHI Health Good Samaritan. He had been receiving care at Good Sam for almost three weeks. Survivors include his wife, Tammy; sons, Brett of Omaha and Brock of Lincoln; and his grandsons.
