Blake M. Colbert

I miss you big brother. Everyday! You're not forgotten. Til I see you again.

The fun days

I remember Blake from back when I used to work in the cafe in Sikorsky. I never knew his name but he would always come to my station to get something to eat. He was one of my favorite customers and I always enjoyed talking to him. My condolences to his family.

My family and I have lived alongside of Blake and Amanda for almost 7 years. We both had our youngest kids at the same time. All of our kids have played in our adjoining back yards and out front riding bikes in the street every summer. This year our babies started kindergarten together. Looking back these are precious memories that come and go entirely too quickly. Just the other day we had a nicer day and my husband and Blake ended up in the road together watching our kids ride around in the street as we have so many times before. It was chilly and I stayed in the warmth of the car only waving hello to Blake. I´d usually always go over to chat but I figured we´ll be seeing a lot more of our neighbors soon as the weather is getting nicer. I wish I had gone over now just to say hello. We never expect to lose the kind people that bless us with their presence in our daily lives. We came and went everyday side by side. I will miss turning around in my kitchen waving hello as you backed your camper by my window to park out back in the yard. I will miss looking out and seeing you watching your kids race around your dirt track on their quads. And I will miss seeing you with your family tinkering around your property and stopping over to say hello. We could see what a devoted husband and father you are. We just lost a great neighbor. We are devastated for you Amanda and the kids and we are here crying with you. Amanda, please know we are here for you and the kids and will continue to be here for whatever you need. We wish you comfort and peace in these difficult days. Amancio Family

Blake was a friend and colleague for the past 15 years. And although we didnt see eachother much because of shift differences anytime we did see and speak to eachother we always had laughs and our convo was always a pleasure... Blake will be missed by MANY and God Bless his familiy that will always miss and love him.

HI Amanda, Please know that my family and the Confirmation kids are praying for you at this horrible time. You know that I am available for you anytime to help in any way you need....

He was my best friend growing up. I am devastated, but I know I will see him again and pick up where we last left off!! I´m gonna miss you buddy !

My Condolences to the Colbert Family. Blake was an awesome friend and will be miss dearly!!!!!!!

I am a co worker of Blake´s. I hand out tools and Hardware.
When I first met Blake he and two others were known by me as "The A Team".
We shared stories and laughter at my window. He shared his great love for his children and always referred to his wife as `Babe´. I would encounter him in traffic and in stores outside of work and he always had a smile. He was a good soul and he will be missed by many and I will remember him. I pray for strength for his Family as they persevere in their great sorrow and loss of one so loved by them.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
