Blake Poole

Blake Logan Poole, 25, of Willits, Calif., formerly of Mountain Home, Ark., Belleville, Ill., Marathon, Fla., we could go on, passed away June 16, 2014, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Blake was born July 5, 1988, in Alamogordo, New Mexico to Thomas J. and Karen D. Lindy Poole. He was a member of not only his biological family but a family of people from all over the entire country. His influences are being felt from every corner. Perhaps the "MOST" free spirited human I have ever known. He taught us all how to live without burden, stress, hate, fear, jealousy, envy, gluttony and conceit. Blake was a role model for human behavior.

Blake is survived by his father, Tom (Tracy Swarts) Poole of House Springs, Mo.; mother, Lindy Poole of Kennett, Mo.; his adoring sister, Krystal (Drew) Joyce of Campbell, Mo.; a niece, Landry Joyce of Campbell, Mo.; paternal grandfather, Jack Poole of Caseyville, Ill.; paternal grandfather, Albert Downing of Mount Olive, Ill.; maternal grandparents, Joe and Shirley Steed of Campbell, Mo.

Blake was also survived by a host of uncles, aunts and cousins. However, he had a special relationship with his Aunt Deb Sanders of Mountain Home and his Uncle Dave (Mary) Poole of Belleville, Ill. He loved the special bond he shared with each of you. Lastly, he was a loved man as a part of his other family. His band of brothers and sisters took care of him and he took care of them. They are now a forever member of "OUR" family.

If you wish to express condolences you can go to Facebook Blake Poole page, giveforward.com or anyway that makes you feel a part of Blake's journey. He loved the world and changed all that came in contact with him. Take the time every single day to open your arms and give a "Big ole Blake Hug" to anyone near you and say what Blake said to everyone..."Love Yins"
