Not sure what to say?

Sonya,
I googled you today to try to reconnect and stumbled upon Blake's obituary. I am beyond words and so extremely sorry for your loss almost a year ago. Blake was so very special to me when he was younger. I hate we have all lost touch. Please know you and Michael will be in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you.

May his light never be forgotten.

Blake was a very kind and careing young man. He was a strong loving husband to his wife Erica Anne Russell,they were classic true high school sweethearts. God blessed Blake with a smile that gave comfort to everyone he met.
I will always be grateful to Blake as he helped me to get my first service dog Tundra. So named after Blakes truck.
And grateful for the tender love he always held in his heart for Erica. Blake is now a Angel watching over his family.

Your family is in my prayers. All the people at Adrian Burnett knew that Blake let his light shine as a child of God . Love you, Ruthie Black

I remember the fun times we had working at Toyota. Will miss you buddy

I knew Blake from Westview Tower where he was a kind and respectful young man who was cared about by a lot of residents . He talked about his love for his family and was so sweet. I'm so very sorry for your loss; he was very special. Linda Holifield

I am so sorry to hear the news that Blake had passed. I worked with him at West View Tower and enjoyed conversations with him. He always had such a kind spirit and was always courteous and kind to everyone.
