I was so sorry to hear about Blake's passing. He was such a positive, happy guy and spread light and love everywhere he went.  

I am devastated to hear he has passed.  Debra, you were the love of his life and he truly married his dream gal! Your sons were frequently talked about as he grinned from ear to ear.  He had what we all want, love, family, positivity and happiness.  

I named my first born child Blake, as the name brought up so many warm and joyous feelings.  

True love never dies and he will always be with you…. always ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We stood with you during the hard times of hospitalization and will continue to be here to help as needed.  Prayers are ongoing.

Jim and Margaret 

Debra, Dillon & Connor,

Love,

Heaven gained a legend, but the world feels a whole lot dimmer without Uncle Blake. 

Uncle Blake had a way of making everyone feel special, and I was so lucky to be one of them. 🩷 From lake days to catchphrase game nights, from his famous BBQ ribs to the countless (countless, countless) laughs, every moment with him was filled with love and joy. He always made a point to celebrate life, love others fiercely, and never take a single moment for granted. Thankful for every memory.
