Can't believe it's been seven years. When you left us, we cried, knowing we wouldn't be able to see your beautiful smile again in our lifetime. Your mom left us not too long after you did, and it left a hole in the hearts of Shelby and your dad, who miss you terribly. There are so many things they wanted to tell you, but can't, and it breaks their hearts. We all miss you. Shelby had a baby boy who is named after you, and you would love him to pieces. He is adorable. But I think you already know about him in your own way, as I'm sure you smile down on all of us. I love you bunches and miss your sunshine when you entered a room.

Blake I miss you more every day and your mom also. I feel so lost without the two of you. I´m sure I will be there soon. I am not very happy. I hope the two of you are doing ok and you have seen Mama
Collins. I miss you all so much.
Mom I would give anything to talk to you tonight. But you know I wouldn´t listen. I love you and Blake so much. Keep my place warm I don´t think it will be a lot longer. I´m really blue tonight but I´m not sick or anything just missing my family. I don´t have very many. I tried to get in the Boes family but didn´t have a lot of
luck but it was my fault. I´ll be so glad to hug and kiss you. I love you Mom more than you ever knew.
Keep me a spot next to you.
I love you and Blake.

Six years ago we lost your sweet soul, and few days go by without you bringing a silent smile to my face. I miss the energy and joy you shared with so many. Your passion for art and creativity was endless, and your talent was inspiring. Miss you to the moon and back sweet Blake.

Thinking of Blake today and praying that his memory brings smiles as well as tears to the many people who loved him. Blake rests in God's arms and is remembered as a kind, sweet and unique young man who will forever live in our hearts. God bless you Blake.

My sweet nephew...it has been almost three years, but your smile is still in my heart. You left us too soon, as you had so many unfinished memories to make with those who loved you. We want you back, but know it will never be. In our hearts, you are always beside us, laughing and smiling that silly grin of yours that makes you so unique. I wish you were here to give your sister, mom and dad a big hug, because they need that so bad right now.

I think of Blake from time to time, and although there is always a bit of sadness in those thoughts, I do have fond and kind thoughts as well.Blake was a fine young man and obviously well thought of by those who knew him best. May God continue to bless him and keep him in His arms.

Sitting in my car at the tracks in LaGrange, watching the train roll by, when I see brightly painted graffiti on most of the train cars. I can't help but smile, and wonder if Blake ever got to paint a moving canvas. Something tells me he has, and his legacy travels the states of America. That's a memory I'll hold onto forever!

Kim, John and Shelby...
I heard the news of Blake's passing in disbelief followed by deep sadness. My memories of Blake are good memories and I regret not being closer to all of you, with my living in Florida. He was always soft spoken, kind and ready to share his beautiful smile. I know your grief is overwhelming now but hopefully, in time, Blake's memory will bring a smile to your face as you all think of the joy I know he must have brought to your lives. My love and sincerest sympathy goes out to all of those who knew and loved Blake.

Blake used to skate board with our boys, Cody and Zack Harvey all the time. In July of 2006, we took the 3 of them for a weekend of skating at Krush Skate Park in Tinley Park, Illinois. There was a problem with Blake's waiver that was required, since he was a minor, and they would not admit him. Finally, after hours of anguish, we went back and Vivian pretended to be his mom and they went for it and the day was saved! It was a fun trip.

Also, I remember when my grouchy dog, Buddy, bit Blake on his nose and I was horrified! Blake was a good sport about it and didn't even get mad, even though he may have had a small scar.

We always enjoyed his presence with us and have fond memories of him.

Our deepest condolences,

Jeff, Vivian, Cody, & Zack

John (and Blake) got truck from us in 2012.

John, Kim and Shelby,

Words can't describe how sorry we are to hear of Blake's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Although I hadn't seen Blake in quite some time, I will remember fondly him skateboarding down our driveway as a young child. We are so very sorry.
