Peter Scott de Blonk, Jr. of Emporia was called home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. He was 35. We have lost a son, brother, husband, father, uncle, and a great friend. In his short time with us PJ touched many lives. His laugh was contagious, and he smiled all the time when he was with his family.

PJ was born on May 27, 1987, in Emporia, Kansas, the son of Peter and Tammy de Blonk. PJ was born happy go lucky with a huge personality. From the start people knew who he was. PJ attended Emporia Christian School where he was known by all students, teachers, and the principal. PJ earned his associates degree in Industrial Engineering Technology at Flint Hills Technical College. He could fix just about anything. He worked at Dolly for several years and that’s where he met the love of his life. He married Guadalupe Pahuamba on September 22, 2012, at Victory Fellowship Church in Emporia.
