Bob and I would like to Thank You all for your kindness and support during Blake's illness. It meant a great deal to him and his family.
When we drove up to the Church yesterday and saw the tribute to Blake it took our breath away and brought tears to our eyes.
Blake would have loved it and he would have been right in there with you guys putting it all together.
I have heard a lot of stories from apprentice days to present from Blake some funny and some bad, but...

Bob, Pat, Paige and Stacey,

I can't even tell you how much your family meant to me and how much Blake touched my heart. I will never forget the friendship and love I had with Blake and with all of you! To see my childhood church with standing room only yesterday made me proud to have been a part of such an amazing man's life, he was truly loved by all.

Blake. You will be missed but not forgotten. The best memories of my life are growing up fishing and partying up at the falls with you and many others. You gave me my lifelong Nickname of cheeseburger. Never seen a guy so quick to fishing slightly above the deadline to picking berries when Jacobs came flying up the river. Such a fun guy to be around. And an amazing fisherman. See you on a river in heaven some day my old friend....
Cheeseburger.

I will always remember all the stories of him and his dad and all of there fishing and hunting. My heart goes out to his family. May be be at peace without anymore pain and suffering. May the family live with lots of wonderful memories.
