    3. Billings Gazette Billings, MT 4 Feb 2009 Donald L. Blehm, 70, of Billings, passed away Friday, Feb. 2, 2007, at St. Vincent Healthcare after a short battle against cancer. Don was born Aug. 1, 1936, in Billings, the son of Jacob and Amelia (Butz) Blehm. He entered the Army in 1954 after graduating from Senior High. Don was honorably discharged in 1957. Later that year he married the love of his life, Marjorie Brent. Don's gift was sales where he worked at a number of places. In 1974 he started City Auto Supply which he later sold. He and Marjorie moved to Bozeman and established Big Sky Auto Supply, moving back to Billings and opening Mountain Motor Supply which had three locations. In 1996 Don sold Mountain Motor Supply after having a stroke. Don semi-retired, staying busy helping his daughter and son-in-law start up their business Mountain PBE Supply. Don was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Ray Blehm Sr., Irvin Blehm, Jack Blehm and his five sisters, Julia Long, Amelia Bryant, Harriette Strecker, Margaret Reinbeck and Edna Canaan. Don is survived by his wife of 50 years, Marjorie; three children, Kelly (Terry) Steele, Donald (Dawn) Blehm Jr. and Douglas Blehm, and a brother, James Blehm. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren, Mary (Mark) Gaughan, Wayne, Shayla, Samantha, Molly, Alexander and Lucas Blehm, and his three great-grandchildren, Connor, Olivia and Ellie Gaughan. Don was a very dedicated husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His generosity was greatly appreciated. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Again, Don worked very hard in his lifetime, so as he always said "Get back to work and answer the phones." A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at St. Pius X Catholic Church. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements are by Cremation or Funeral Gallery.
