Blake- I don't know you and I know that you are in heaven right now but I want you to know that you are my hero and you inspire me to be a better father, husband, son, and human being. God bless you Blake.

My Name is Ashley. I really never met Blakey or his family. I only knew him when I seen him on tv about to meet Tim Tebow. I am a huge fan of Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators. Since I had my brain surgery at Shands in Gainesville. That changed my life forever. But I can say now that I will forever be a big fan of Blake. Youa nd your family will forever have a special place in my heart. I will forever cherish the love, inspiration, and smiles you put on my face. My heart goes out the Appleton...
