Larry, 
I am so sad and in complete shock. It has been way too many years since we've talked, and I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now. But I do know your heart of gold, and your strength will guide you through this path. My love and prayers to you and all the famiily and friends that loved your son.

I'm extremely sorry to hear of Blake's passing. He was an amazing person, with a heart of gold, big enough for everyone to have a piece of. I truly regret the fact that I have let so many years go by without catching up with him again. I also would like to express my condolences to his family and friends, and especially Katrina. I could never imagine what it would be like to lose someone so close and so wonderful. He will be greatly missed, as he obviously had a great family and millions of wonderful friends. I hope his friends and family keep their chins up and know that he is definately watching over the ones he cares and cared about, as I know he always has. I will forever miss Blake's bright, smiley face and kind heart. He was great soul, and will be forever in my heart and prayers! RIP Blake, and I very much hope to see you again someday on the other side! :)

To my brother, I wonder how I will go on with out you and then I think you would want me to live life to the fullest. I'm going to miss you so much! I cant wait until the day we can hold each other again. You are my baby brother. Katrina, Destiny, Jesse and I have been talking about all the amazing things that you have brought to our life. We have laughed so many times tonight thinking of you and the crazy things you used to do. I want you to know that I will be here for Destiny,Dad,Mom and Katrina so dont worry about them I will hold them close and tell them every day how much you loved them.

Barb Weldon, Anoka

I know it's been almost ten years since I last saw Blake, but his presence in my life made me realize how special I am because of the way he treated me. From sixth through eighth grade, Blake and I were best friends. From daring each other to jump out of his parent's hot tub into the snow in winter, to aceing our sixth grade English T.V. project, Blake encouraged me to push myself when I didn't think I could do things. He saw the best in everyone. To the Gragert family, God is holding your hearts in his hands, and he will provide rest.

My heart goes out to Blake's family and also to Katrina!! I'm so sorry for your loss, I can not imagine what you are going through! I have lost family members, that is hard enough. To lose your heart, your soul, the love of your life, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone! 
Katrina, I know Blake was your everything. You are a strong girl and I know it won't be easy to get back on your feet. You have so many people who are there if you need them. I know there's not much anyone can say that will make you feel better right now. Words can not describe how much I feel for you!
Hold on to the memories and he will live forever in your heart! With deepest sympathy, keep your head up girly!<3

I am so very sorry for your loss.  The loss of your own child is devasting and no one knows the pain that you are enduring at this time.  My prayers are with you always.

Larry - Linda & I were saddened to hear about the passing of your son Blake. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear about Blake.  It has been a few years since I last saw him and this tragedy is touching me because I witnessed the compassion for others and the positive attitude he always brought with him, he always had my back.  Seems like just yesterday we would be trading stories on third base at practice and the whole time we played ball together.  He was always smiling and laughing.  I will miss not catching up with him later on but I know he is in a peaceful place.  I pray for his family and hope they stay strong.  I'm gonna miss you Blake.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Blake's family in this time of mourning. Every memory I have of Blake from middle school reminds me of the wonderful guy with a heart of gold. He was always friendly, smiling and there to talk to when I needed. I just recently found some pictures I had taken of him in Gym and English.....such a character he was! He will be greatly missed. RIP Blake

I’m very sorry to hear about Blake. I have fond memories of him in the neighborhood growing up with Shawn... and Coon Rapids Baseball. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I am very sorry to hear about Blake. He was always fun to be around and a very positive person. I went to school with Blake and will miss catching up with him. I will pray for all his family in the difficult time. He is missed by everyone and made such a good impact on everyone.
