Michael “Mikey” David Blackwell , son of Bob Blackwell and Mia Machida, died unexpectedly at the age of 46 on January 3, 2021 in Seattle, WA.
Mike had the biggest heart! He was the most selfless person I know, always putting everyone else in front of himself. He always made sure everyone was happy and smiling and if they weren’t he would find a way to turn a frown upside down, even strangers he didn’t know! He considered himself shy, but he was the biggest social butterfly I knew. He could walk up to somebody he didn’t even know and next thing you knew Mikey had a new friend for life. He “hated” pictures but in almost everyone of them you can find Mike posing like a model or making a silly face or pose, just to get a smile out of someone.
He was such an adrenaline junkie, anything you could do, Mike could do it bigger and better. Whether it be how high and fast he could snowboard down the mountain, to how many waves he could catch in the sea. This man would stay as long is it took to be greater at it. Any adventure, he was down to take. Always trying to enjoy every moment in life and living his best life!
