Adrian "Tooter" Antonio Blake

Though his time with us was far too short, Adrian was a radiant presence in the lives of all who knew him. He was full of energy and kindness and he brought joy wherever he went.

A dedicated student-athlete, he approached every practice, game and challenge with heart, discipline and determination. This unwavering commitment to teammates also reflected how he lived his life. Adrian gave his all and inspired those around him to do the same.

Above all, Adrian will be remembered for his loving and encouraging spirit.

He was a devoted son, caring brother (who loved to annoy his siblings), a loyal friend and a young man with a generous heart.

He had a remarkable way of making others feel seen, valued and cared for and his sense of humor will remain in the memories of those who loved him. He cherished the time with family and friends and leaves behind countless memories that will forever be treasured.

He is lovingly survived by his parents, Avery and Julie Blake; his older sister, Akasha Blake; his older brother, Avery Blake Jr; his older sister, Aniya Blake; grandparents, Eula (the late Clarence) Gibson, the late, Charles Garrett, Refugio and Nancy Escontrias;

as well as extended family, teammates, coaches, classmates, teachers and many friends whose live were forever touched by his presence.

Although his time with us was far too brief and dreams unfulfilled, the impact Adrian made will endure for a lifetime and will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Though he is no longer by our side, he is deeply loved, forever missed and will always remain in our hearts.

The legacy of love, perseverance and kindness will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Tooter.
