I love you Blake. There will never be a way to interpret how dearly I miss you. You have always been my guardian, my mentor and a dear friend, my brother.

You are forever in my heart.My love for you has no end. My son may you have the peace you so richly deserve in the presence of the Lord.
 I will love you and miss you with a heart of a mother that loved you in all ways each and every day.
I miss you with every thing in me!
Heartbroken but strong in the Lord,
MOM of Blake N. Dever

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another. 

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Blake Nicholas Dever our “Brother-in-Arms”.   To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Blake.   And to Blake it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during Operations Iraqi Freedom while serving in the U.S. Army.  Blake, you served with honor and distinction; we bid you a sad farewell.  You will be dearly missed from among our ranks.  Be at Ease.  Rest in Peace.
 
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Blakes's family and loved ones.
