I found out today about this death and wanted to extend our condolences to the family. He was so young to be taken away and we can''t understand the reasons. I pray for you to have His peace that passes all understanding .

Sorry to say I don't kno Blake or his family. Just hate to hear of such a tragedy! Such a young life taken way to soon. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Especially his parents and his children! I am a mother myself, and I pray God wraps his loving arms around you all and somehow guides you through this horrible and tragic loss! You will all be in my prayers!

Blake was my ex brother in law but I didn't look at him like one I looked at him like he was a brother to me he has always been in the family foe the longest time n he will always be a part of our lives. Kayliegh and Clarissa are my niece's and they mean the world to me I love those little girls with everything and to know that they gotta grow up not having a dad really hurts me inside cause I know what I feels like to have h a dad But look at it this way they did know him and that's all that matters they can look back and see what great times they had together for the few years he was with them. Blake was a good person and we love and miss u Blake u will always be remembered and u will never ne forgotten. We love and miss you buddy.
