Obituary: Blair Sheridan ’82

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Blair Michael Sheridan on September 28, 2014, at age 49 in Kiev, Ukraine. Most dearly beloved son of Heather and the late Alex. Loving brother of Melanie (Daniel) and very proud uncle of Marc-André, David and Michael. Husband of Tatiana Sedova, exceptional father of Katie and Patrick in Almaty, Kazakhstan. He was a graduate of McGill University (B.A. 1989) and Carleton University (M.A. 1994). Blair’s wit and intelligence were unmatched. As a multilinguist and voracious reader, Blair was able to converse on any subject ranging from politics to history to sports to punk rock music and The Simpsons. He was a passionate member of the Montreal Wanderers Rugby Club, as well as a proud brother of the Zeta Psi Fraternity at McGill. Blair travelled and worked extensively throughout Europe and Central Asia. He managed to keep in touch with scores of friends around the world and will be so sadly missed by all. Cremation will take place in Kiev. The date and time of his Memorial will be determined once his ashes are returned to Montreal. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Zeta Psi Foundation of Canada or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
