Debra, Tina feel very sad for the loss of Blake. Blake was a "mans man". We met during a "stingray bicycle" race on south 23rd. We were around 10 years old. Of course.. Blake won the race ! Blake was always the life of any gathering. A real comedian...kept us all laughing ! At deer camps...he lead us all..between his advice and jokes. I always enjoyed the fishing and hunting adventures he introduced me to ! My thoughts are for you both...in my "life long" friends passing.

This news is so heartbreaking to hear. Blake was and always will be a very special person to me. Fishing will always make me think of him. He taught me to fish, I caught the one and only fish in my life, with him. Getting up early to get on the river as the sun would be coming up. Those were great times back then. I will remember him with those wonderful memories forever.
My deepest condolences to Debra and Tina and the rest of his family.
