He loved his sister so much and was a very protective brother, trying to keep the boys away.

Blain loved dogs and his best bud, Ripken.

He was a 2022 graduate of North Stafford High School. He was a great student, incredibly smart and was loved by his teachers. He loved baseball and all his great memories at North Stafford where he met the best friend group he could ever have.

I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you this soon

I never thought I would be staring at your empty room

I never thought you wouldn’t be here to see me graduate high school

I never thought you wouldn’t be here to remind me of life’s rules

I never thought in all our family pictures instead of four there would only be three

I never thought you wouldn’t be here to help bring up the Christmas tree

I never thought I would have to watch a video to hear your laugh

I never thought I would have to see a picture to be reminded you’re built like a giraffe

I never thought our kids wouldn’t grow up together and become best friends

I never thought I would have to live without you like I’m a blanket and you’re tethering threads

I never thought you wouldn’t be here to tell me happy birthday

I never thought you wouldn’t be here to call me after long workdays

I never thought I wouldn’t get to see you grow up and become a man

I never thought I wouldn’t get to meet the woman of your dreams and see you grow old together hand in hand

I never thought you would no longer be here to share all my milestones

I never thought we wouldn’t be able to make our dreams come true and together build homes

I never thought I would go from the youngest child to the only

I never thought if I cried you wouldn’t be here to hold me

I never thought I would walk by your door and never hear your voice

I never thought that you would break my heart by making this choice

I never thought I wouldn’t get to be a bridesmaid at your wedding

I never thought I would see your name in an obituary sub-heading

A lot of things have happened that would’ve never crossed my mind

But one thing that’s for sure is I have plenty of memories I'm able to find

It’s easy to think about how I won’t be in your future and you won’t be in mine

But today I want to reminisce and remember how you were a friend to me and more than just a blood-line

I remember how you got bit by a dog to save me from getting attacked

I remember whenever I got tired of walking you would carry me on your back

I remember how you would always help me with my math homework

I remember whenever you told a dad joke you would have this awkward smirk

I remember when you would drive me to school every day

I remember whenever it would snow you would drag me around the neighborhood in the sleigh

I remember how you would always let me hang out with you and your friends

I remember whenever we got in a fight you would buy me food to make amends

I remember that your favorite color was viridian

I remember when I wanted to be just like you, you were the center of my world like the prime meridian

I remember how you loved dinosaurs and the movie cars

I remember when you tried to rap and said you had bars

I remember when you would spend hours outside loading the tee for me

I remember how you gave the best hugs, like being wrapped up by a big tree

I remember how you would always give me advice

I remember how you once told me life was like rolling a dice

I remember when I would go to all your baseball games and tournaments

I remember at Christmas you used to lift me up to help hang ornaments

I remember when you told people I was a lesbian so they wouldn't hit on me

I remember in elementary school you helped me study for the spelling bee

I remember you would come home from practice smelling like dirt

I remember you used to get mad at me because I would steal your sweatshirts

I remember how you were the funniest person I knew

I remember how your eyes were always so blue

I remember waking up at 2 am to you singing Taylor swift

I remember as soon as I came into this world I was blessed with life's biggest gift

I remember when I teared up at your graduation because I was so proud

I remember how you could make everyone laugh even the most boring crowd

I remember when you hit your first homerun and had the biggest smile on your face

I remember how you taught me how to tie my shoelace

I remember when you took me driving and said I stopped too early at stop signs like Noah did

I remember you were like a second father to me even though you were just a kid

I remember how you had the kindest soul and everyone loved you

I remember how for years you looked after me and made sure I got through

While you might no longer be here physically

Your soul will always be remembered for your affability

I'm glad you found your tranquility

And for who I am today I give you all the credibility
