Blake had a passion for being outside fishing, floating, canoeing, bike riding, shooting guns, and flying remote controlled helicopters. He loved spending time with his kids, Natalie and Kaleb, at the Burns Park soccer fields playing ball games and flying kites or walking the trail to the YMCA from their house. Blake also liked to relax by reading his favorite book Lonesome Dove, watching the History Channel, or playing dominoes with his friends or family. Blake's yard was his pride and joy; he loved to work in it and enjoy his beautiful flowers.
He is survived and loved by his mother Diane Mayernick; children Natalie Blake Mayernick (Morgan) and Richard Kaleb Mayernick; a brother Johnny Mayernick; sisters Carla Halpine (Ronnie), Tonya Smith (Sean), and Amber Ponder (Ken); and a multitude of cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and friends.
He is preceded in death by his father John Charles Mayernick Sr.
